But then you have actually done a survey and found out the percentage of steroid users in your gym?  Or is just your assumption of reality?  If using steroids is that deleterious to our health both physically and mentally why are we all doing steroids?   Call it TRT or what ever we ARE using anabolic steroids.


I am an administrator of a long standing board that is very private.  We have a world wide group and everyone there uses steroids for athletic purposes and most are competitive bodybuilders.  Most experienced goup of guys you could imagine.  They all read science and value what they read.  These guys are adults and know what to expect and know that that have gotten themselves into before they ever go that direction.  If they don't want to take the risk or don't like the side effects, they opt out and go back their normal life.  Its been that way for many years.  


By they way, since you are reading into what I write that was not there.  I made it clear that people can have side effects, despite the overwhelming majorty not experienceing them and I never said it was rediculous and never said science said.  I simply evaluated a research study and posted several that supported what I said.  Those of us who do deal with science as part of our jobs know that animal studies rarely equate to human results.  Posting scientic evidene how things commonly are done when people come here to learn.  Not going on statements made on Reddit.  Again, reality may not be your strong suite.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
