Anabolic - Defenition
I posted something similar to this in another section but probably should have posted it here. I was wondering if Anabolic refers to something that is a steroid? If Anabolic is involved in the wording, is it a steroid? Please elaborate on this for me!

The word "anabolic" just means to build up, just as catabolic means to break down. It can refer to muscles, organs, bones, etc.
Steroids are anabolic hormones that stimulate protein synthesis and muscle growth.
The answer to your question is "no". Just because something has the word anabolic in it does not necessarily make it a steroid.
