Over the years, steroids and bodybuilding supplements have had a bad rap and reputation. Most of this sprung out of scandals that have destroyed professional athletes’ careers. Steroids may be illegal in many sports, that doesn’t translate to it not being safe. Despite the scandals and controversies surrounding steroids and bodybuilding supplements, there are still safe steroids to help achieve bodybuilding goals.

In essence, safe usage of anabolic steroid is possible. With steroids, you can break free from the limitations of your homeostasis. The major problem with steroid usage is the non-adherence of athletes to the recommended dosage. Breaking the boundaries and going far above it. This is not far-fetched though; the anabolic effect of steroids and other bodybuilding supplements leads to an addiction.


How Steroids Work
Testosterone is the hormone that builds a man into a man, and anabolic steroids are the synthetic derivative of the testosterone. The testosterone has two effects on the body; androgenic and anabolic. Steroids are often developed with both androgenic and anabolic components. Anabolic steroids help to produce proteins than what testosterone would have produced. As long as the user works out, there will be a growth in the muscles and body mass. Working out will create room for usage of the proteins produced. Aside from anabolic steroids, there are also corticosteroids which are also man-made.
Examples of corticosteroids include cortisone, prednisone, and methylprednisolone. Steroids can be in form of skin creams, eardrops, orals, injections and eye drops. These forms of steroids are used in the treatment of inflammation, muscle pain, back pain and other ailments. On the other hand, anabolic steroids see to the rapid development of muscles and stronger bones, leading to increase in strength. Anabolic steroids stimulate the protein receptors in the body, thereby creating new proteins within the body. This process results in an increase in RNA activity in the human body. Ordinarily, the body can produce its own proteins, but with steroids, this process is hastened.
