Anabolic Steroid Side Effects

The action of testosterone can be in ways both beneficial and detrimental to the body. On the plus side, this hormone has a direct impact on the growth of muscle tissues, the production of red blood cells and overall well being of the organism. But it may also negatively effect the production of skin oils, growth of body, facial and scalp hair, and the level of both good and bad cholesterol in the body (among other things). In fact, men have a shorter average life span than women, which is believed to be largely due to the cardidvascular defects that this hormone may help bring about. Testosterone will also naturally convert to estrogen in the male body, a hormone with its own unique set of effects. As we have discussed earlier, raising the level of estrogen in men can increase the tendency to notice water retention, fat accumulation, and will often cause the development of female tissues in the breast (gynecomastia). Clearly we see that most of the bad side effects from steroids are simply those actions of testosterone that we are not looking for when taking a steroid. Raising the level of testosterone in the body will simply enhance both its good and bad properties, but for the most part we are not having toxic reactions to these drugs. A notable exception to this is the possibility of liver damage, which is a worry isolated to the use of ci 7-alpha alkylated oral steroids. Unless the athlete is taking anabolic/androgenic steroids abusively for a very long duration, side effects rarely amount to little more than a nuisance.

One could actually make a case that periodic steroid use might even be a healthy practice. Clearly a persons physical shape can relate closely to ones overall health and well being. Provided some common sense is paid to health checkups, drug choice, dosage and off-time, how can we say for certain that the user is worse off for doing so? This position is of course very difficult to publicly justify with steroid use being so deeply stigmatized. Since this can be a very lengthy discussion, I will save the full health, moral and legal arguments for another time. For now I would like to run down the list of popularly discussed side effects, and include any current treatment/avoidance advice where possible.

Clomid Side effects

As for toxicity and side effects, Clomid is considered a very safe drug. Bodybuilders seldom report any problems with Clomid, but listed possible side effects of Clomid do include hot flashes, nausea, dizziness, headaches and temporarily blurred vision. Such side effects usually only appear in females however, as they feel the effects of estrogen manipulation much more readily than men. While female athletes can clearly gain some benefit from Clomid, estrogen manipulation is probably not the most comfortable way to go about cutting up. Should it still be used for such purposed and side effects do become pronounced, Clomid of course is to be discontinued and (at least) a break taken from it. Learn more about Clomid (Clomifen)...

Deca durabolin Side effects

World Wide Deca Durabolin is one of the most widely used anabolic steroids. It popularity is due to the simple fact that it exhibits many very favorable properties. Structurally Deca Durabolin is very similar to testosterone, although it lacks a carbon atom at the 19t" position (hence its other name 19-nortestosterone). The resulting structure is a steroid that exhibits much weaker androgenic properties than testosterone. Of primary interest is the fact that this drug will not break down to a more potent metabolite in androgen target tissuess. You may remember this is a significant problem with testosterone. Although Deca Durabolin does undergo reduction via the same (5-alpha reductase) enzyme that produces DHT from testosterone, the result in this case is dihydronandrolone. This metabolite is weaker than the parent nandroloness, and is far less likely to cause unwanted androgenic side effects. Strong occurrences of oily skin, acne, body/facial hair growth and hair loss occur very rarely. Learn more about Deca Durabolin...

Dianabol Side effects

In addition, androgenic side effects of Dianabol are common with this substance, and may include bouts of oily skin, acne and body/facial hair growth. Aggression of using Dianabol may also be increased with a potent steroid such as this, so it would be wise not to let your disposition change for the worse during a cycle. With Dianabol there is also the possibility of aggravating a male pattern baldness condition. Sensitive individuals may therefore wish to avoid Dianabol and opt for a milder anabolic such as Deca Durabolin. While Dianabol does convert to a more potent steroid via interaction with the 5-alpha reductase anzyme (the same enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone), it has extremely little affinity to do so in the human body's. The androgenic metabolite 5alpha dihydromethandrostenolone is therefore produced only in trace amounts at best. The benefit received from Proscar/Propecia would therefore be insignificant, the drug serving no real purpose. Learn more about Dianabol...

Primobolan Side effects

Side effects in general are usually not much of a problem with Primobolan Depot. There is a chance to notice a few residual androgenic effects such as oily skin, acne, increased facial/body hair growth or an aggravation of male pattern baldness condition. Primobolan is still very mild however, and such problems are typically dose related. Women will in fact find this preparation mild enough to use in most cases, observing it to be a very comfortable and effective anabolic. If both the oral and injectable were available for purchase, the faster acting oral should probably be given preference however. This is simply due to the fact that blood hormone levels are more difficult to control with a slow acting injectable, the user also having to wait many days for steroid levels to diminish if side effects become noticeable. Overall, Primobolan Depot is actually considered to be one of the safest anabolic steroids available. Learn more about Primobolan...

Winstrol Side effects

With the structural (c17-AA) alteration, the tablets will also place a higher level of stress on the liver than the Winstrol injectable (which avoids the "first pass"). During longer or higher dosed Winstrol cycles, liver values should therefore be watched closely through regular blood work. Although less common, the possibility of liver damage cannot be excluded with the injectable however. While it does not enter the body through the liver, it is still broken down by it, providing a lower (but more continuous) level of stress. Such stress would of course be amplified when adding other c17-AA oral compounds to a cycle of Winstrol. When using such combinations, cautious users would make every effort to limit the length of the Winstrol cycle (preferably 6 to 8 weeks). Learn more about Winstrol...
