FAQ

Anabolic-androgenic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone that promote muscle growth (anabolic effects) and the development of male sex characteristics (androgenic effects).

Risks include cardiovascular complications (e.g. hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy), liver toxicity, hormonal suppression, infertility, mood disturbances, acne, hair loss, and potential for dependency.

No use of anabolic steroids is without risk. However, harm can be reduced by using appropriate doses, limiting cycle length, conducting regular bloodwork, using proper PCT, and avoiding unnecessary stacking or hepatotoxic compounds.

Oral steroids (such as Dianabol and Winstrol) are known to be hepatotoxic. Injectables are generally less liver-toxic but can still elevate liver enzymes, especially when abused or stacked.

Yes, but with significant caution. Even low doses can cause virilising effects (e.g. voice deepening, menstrual disruption, clitoral enlargement, facial hair). Some compounds (e.g. Anavar) are considered lower risk but still carry potential harm.

Yes. Pre-cycle bloodwork establishes your baseline health and hormonal profile. Post-cycle bloodwork is essential to assess recovery and detect internal strain (e.g. elevated liver enzymes, altered lipid profile, suppressed testosterone). Do not begin PCT without post-cycle bloods — they guide correct medication choice, dosage, and duration.

Yes — anabolic steroids only produce significant benefits when combined with consistent, progressive resistance training. Without proper training, the muscle-building effects are minimal, and the risk of side effects increases. Steroids amplify the results of hard training; they are not a substitute for it.

In many countries, including the UK, possession of anabolic steroids for personal use is legal, but supplying them to others without a prescription is illegal. Laws vary by region.

PCT is the use of medications (typically SERMs such as Clomid or Nolvadex) after a steroid cycle to help restore natural testosterone production, mitigate side effects, and reduce the risk of long-term hormonal suppression.

Cycles usually last 8–16 weeks depending on the compound and individual goals. Prolonged cycles increase the risk of long-term suppression and organ stress.

Yes. Some steroids convert to oestrogen via aromatase, which can stimulate breast tissue growth. This risk may be mitigated with aromatase inhibitors or the use of SERMs if symptoms appear.

Common symptoms include low mood, fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, insomnia, and difficulty maintaining muscle mass. Blood tests are required to confirm suppression.

Capsules are used instead of pressed tablets to ensure dose accuracy, improve stability, and preserve compound integrity. Pressed tablets can degrade more quickly due to heat, moisture, and air exposure in storage. Capsules offer greater protection against these factors, helping maintain consistent potency and quality throughout the shelf life of the product.

Esters are chemical attachments added to steroid hormones to control how slowly the drug is released into the bloodstream. The longer the ester, the slower the release and the less frequent the injections. Understanding esters helps with scheduling injections and timing PCT correctly.
