Have you heard of it, and if so, what is it? I over heard two pretty big guys complaining about "probably be illegal soon." What is it, a steroid?

Androstenedione is testosterone booster. It is next step up from DHEA and is the direct precursor to testosterone. It´s naturally made in men and women. Some bodybuilders stack it with DHEA and tribulus terrestris. It may cause some side effects like acne, gyno and decrease in good cholesterol. It´s not recommended for women as it may cause acne, lowering of the voice and facial hair growth. I tried for awhile but I didn´t notice anything. I think it was a waste of money.

It is a waste of money due to the fact that it only gives you a short boost of test, maybe elevated for around 3 hours or so, not enough time to benifit you. If you mega dose the stuff you are more likly to experience the aromatazation of test into estrogen. Also in pill form most of the andro is destroied by the liver. Some are developing other forms of prohormones that may be more effective. They are working on alternate delivery systems, such as transdermal, sublinguil, and nasal sprays that may be better. I would wait awhile and see what, if anything, happens with some of these other products. Anyone try something called Para Deca? One bodybuilder I know says he gets great results with it.

most of those andro product actually work best for the guys on roids....i have read and was told but a good friend that guys use produsts like that after a cycle to slowly drop the t-levels back down to normal. My advise would be to stay the hell away from anything that alters your t-levels...let your body do that kinda stuff!
