A question I have (I have never done a Prohormone nor any gear other than what has been prescribed)... is what were the benefits of the prohormone that you didnt get from gear? Was it that the Prohormone was legal version of gear? was it as effective? fewer side effects? easier to get... I see SO many suppliments out there saying they do this, or that, that for most of us, it is hard to weed the fact from the fiction...

I believe the appeal to "Prohormones" or today's products which actually are indeed designer steroids is that one they are/were legal so people who didn't want to break the law felt they had an alternative to injectables and two they are in a capsule form which takes away from the process of injecting.

I have ran a few different prohormones in my day and to be honest there really are no benefit to them. Yes, I did gain size and strength and certain compounds did mimic injectables but the side effects that come along with prohormones were horrible. High BP, lethargy, potential gyno, ED and shut down issues, and much more.

The issue I always saw and that Times has mentioned is that these products are not regulated. I use to shop at a local supplement store where they sold prohormones. I would time after time see the owner sell 17 and 18 year old kids these prohormones without first trying to talk them out of buying them and secondly not offering any advice on a proper PCT.

The damage these products can do to a young adults endocrine system alone is a reason these products should at least be regulated.
