Types of Steroids: Introduction to Some Common Steroids

If you are a steroid user, you are living in the age where a lot of steroids are available for you to make use of and many are easy to access. There are many types of steroids depending on the esters that are attached to them but most of them are based on the testosterone-hormone. This is the hormone that is naturally produced in the bodies of men and women, with men having more   testosterone than women. This is the hormone that makes men stronger than women and leads to the formation of male sexual characteristics like facial hair, heavy voice etc. The effects of steroids are the same, only the degree differs because of the different esters that have been attached to them. This is a brief intro into some of the most commonly used steroids, some of which are not testosterone-based.

Andriol has testosterone as its main ingredient and is therefore anabolic, meaning increases muscle mass in its users. It increases the strength of the muscles, which is why it is used by bodybuilders and other athletes as well. It has been used for the increase of red blood cells among patients suffering from anemia. Muscle wasting diseases can be reversed by the use of Andriol for some time. Overuse of Andriol can lead to the negative results that come with having a lot of estrogen in the body, like gynecomastia in men and Virilization in women.

Clenbuterol is referred to as ‘clen’ in the market and is known more for its increase in iron in the blood, meaning that the effects of anemia are taken down when one is prescribed a dose of clenbuterol. It is not as anabolic, therefore is used less by athletes who are in competitive sports. For those who want to lose weight for aesthetic reasons, this may be the perfect steroid as it is the one least likely to addict its user. It is also gentle on the user since it does not have as many side effects.

Some of the reasons users shy away from testosterone steroids is because of the side effects that are caused by aromatization. This is the process where testosterone changes into estrogen due to a hormone referred to as aromatase. When one has a lot of estrogen one will have a lot of water retention in the muscles and also a lot of side effects. It is for this reason that clomid was invented, to give as many positive effects of testosterone and to lock out as many side effects of estrogen as possible. The prevention of these side effects is the strongest point of this steroid and the reason it has been used for stacking with other steroids.

Cytomel is used by those who want to reduce fat from the body and gain as much muscles as possible. It is famed for the dramatic increase in muscle mass among its users but as usual the side effects of water retention need to be looked into to prevent the muscles from being all watery and wasted.
