Steroids and there effects on BONE DENSITY

**needbigguns** · 02-06-2006, 07:13 AM

Which steroids increase bone density ? By this im assuming they make them thicker...i know use of anabolics at a young age can stunt growth in regards to lenght as it closes ephipysial plates but which AAS increase bone density...Im sure iv read this some where - or maybe im wrong and iv just imagined it

In my research I've only ever found that testosterone derived steroids increase bone density. Not 19-Nortestosterone derived steroids.

Do they effect it in a big way or only slightlty ? This would be benificial if true for use in high impact sports where breackages easily occur, do you not think ?

Has anyone here used AAS specifically to increase bone density for this reason ?

well the lack of estrogen in menopause is believed to cause osteoporosis.. Many times its a balance that counts too though... some times too low amount of something can cause an effect and too much might cause the same..

this was going to be my comment...one of the best methods of prevention for osteoporosis (aside from the obvious diet adjustments) is a weight-bearing exercise.
