Supplements that mimic steroids

[Trusylver]

I was typing this reply to another thread when another mod removed the thread, however I think it is important to consider that supplements are not steroids and will not do the same thing as steroids


Apart from the fact you cannot turn fat into muscle. you can loose fat and you can gain muscle but you are not converting fat to muscle.

All of these are non steroid supplements with no science to back them.

D-Bal - is a herbal supplement lots of marketing hype and nothing more
Testogen - herbal supplement relying on magnesium, some ingredients may be harmful, again more marketing and no science to back it.
dbulk - just like the others, herbal supplement with no science behind it and a lot of hype marketing.

If it sound too good to be true then it usually is. All of these herbal supplements are named to so as to confuse the consumer into thinking they are the same as the actual steroids they are similarly named after.

Do not waste your money, if you are magnesium and/or Vit D deficient supplement those without all the marketing hype. Lack of magnesium will have an adverse effect on testosterone levels and Vit D deficiency will lead to lack of energy, don't get drawn into the hype of believing the other ingredients are some sort of magic bullet.

Not to mention: if it was as effective as anabolic steroids it would have similar level health risks. No substance does only one specific thing in the body so anything that works has potential side effects.

A lot of these supplement makers pick names which sound like existing anabolic steroids which confuses consumers into thinking that the supplement is a legal version when in reality they are not even close.

In one of these sups, the primary ingredient is magnesium which will boost testosterone if the consumer is lacking magnesium and then hype the other "extracts" and try to make it all sound scientific by throwing in some scientific names. the other 2 have magnesium and Vit D again combined with the hype of other substances, some of which are actually harmful. Supplements are an unregulated product, so dodgy claims are the norm and they only usually get withdrawn from sale if they start harming a lot of people or they are found to actually have an anabolic substance in them.

It's basically the same as with a lot of beauty products.
