Q1: What are prohormones and how do they differ from anabolic steroids?
A1: Prohormones are precursors to steroid hormones. Once ingested, they undergo enzymatic conversion in the body to become active anabolic hormones, such as testosterone or DHT (dihydrotestosterone). While they share the goal of increasing hormone levels to promote muscle growth and strength gains like anabolic steroids, prohormones are often marketed as dietary supplements. However, this distinction is largely legal and regulatory, and their physiological effects and potential side effects are often very similar to those of anabolic steroids. The primary difference historically lay in their availability and regulatory status, with prohormones often being accessible over-the-counter before stricter regulations were implemented.
Q2: What is meant by "cyclical" use of prohormones?
A2: Cyclical use, in the context of prohormones, refers to a pattern of administration that involves periods of taking the substance (the "on-cycle") followed by periods of abstaining (the "off-cycle"). The duration of both on and off cycles can vary significantly depending on the specific prohormone, the user's goals, and anecdotal information. The rationale behind cycling is often to maximize the anabolic effects while attempting to minimize the body's adaptation (such as downregulation of natural hormone production) and reduce the risk or severity of side effects. However, the effectiveness of cycling in achieving these goals is not fully supported by scientific evidence and may still carry significant risks.
Q3: What are the intended effects of using prohormones cyclically?
A3: The primary intended effects of using prohormones cyclically are to enhance muscle protein synthesis, leading to increased muscle mass and strength. Users may also experience improvements in recovery time, increased aggression and motivation for training, and potentially a reduction in body fat. The cyclical nature is intended to allow the body to recover its natural hormonal balance during the off-cycle, theoretically making the subsequent on-cycle more effective and reducing the likelihood of long-term adverse effects.
