Testosterone, a Type of an Anabolic Steroid

Testosterone is present in the body naturally, and produced in the testis. Testosterone produces androgenic effects in the body responsible for the ‘male’ characteristics in humans.

An increase in Testosterone results in an Anabolic effect throughout the body producing ;

An  increase muscle size and strength.
Decreased  recovery time.
Increased energy levels during workouts.
An increase to the oxidation rise of fat.

Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives of the male hormone testosterone. They have been chemically altered and engineered to maximise anabolic effects and minimise androgenic effects.

This however is not perfect and as such the are a host of side effects traditionally associated with the use of steroids. These side effects can cause both short term and long term damage to the body.

Each of these side effects will cause damage to your body so we will look into these further down the line in the future but a few examples are; Acne, testicle shrinkage, high blood pressure and cancer.

These side effects are a result of synthetic testosterone manipulation. As a result your natural production of testosterone is reduced and the body comes to rely on the synthetic testosterone added though Anabolic steroids.

Pro Anabolic stimulates protein synthesis directly without any manipulation of testosterone and so is completely safe and avoids the typical side effects associated with steroids.
