Anabolic Steroids

  • Step 1:
    Anabolic steroids are commonly used to build muscle mass and reduce body fat. These steroids are a chemical derivative of the naturally-occurring male hormone testosterone.

Popular Anabolic Steroids

  • Step 1:
    The most popular anabolic steroids are Deca Durabolin, Sustanon, Winstrol and Dianabol tablets.

Androgenic Steroids

  • Step 1:
    Androgenic steroids develop secondary male characteristics, such as the deepening of the voice. Thickening of nonreproductive tract tissues, such as bones, the larynx and vocal chords, also occurs. A decrease in body fat is seen with the use of androgenic steroids, too.

Popular Androgenic Steroids

    Equipoise, Anadrol and Oxandrin are common androgenic steroids.

Cortico Steroids

  • Step 1:
    Cortico steroids are steroids that imitate the effect of Cortisone-like hormones in the body. These hormones help to regulate inflammation. Cortico steroids are different from anabolic and androgenic steroids as they are used in the treatment of bodily ailments.
