Reply With QuoteReal quick...most of what you are taking are technically "steroids," but they are legal ones for now. Still they are not as powerful as the compounds that pro bodybuilders take. The GH 1000 is not a steroid but a plant isoflavone.
Certain compounds are called PRO-hormones because they need to be enzymatically converted into an "active" form once in the body.

As a newbie to the bodybuilding and serious supplement game, I have a question for all. Can someone tell me the difference between steroids, anabolic steroids, prohormones, prosteroids? I have found the medical definition, but helps very little. For instance, is andro and all its variations a steroid? I am taking BSNs 1-Testabolan-AQ, Nitrix (NO), and Betalin 7-EC. Testabolin has Clomitrophin-Q 150 mg ** Kre-Alkalyn 334 mg ** 17-Hydroxy-5-Alpha-Androst-1-ene-3-one-ECMM. Have taken GH1000 from Iron Curtain Labs which is 5-Methyl 7-Methoxy Isoflavone and some plant sterols etc. I know it is legal, but are they steroids? Thanks for helping the rookie.

Re: Definition of Terms
Thanks for the quick response. As I sent the response, I continued my search on the net and actually found out that was I was taking were not steroids. According to the steroid bible, the stuff I have been taking are not, they are alternatives in fact. If I am still all wet on this, someone let me know.

It looks as if a few things you are taking are over the counter steroids, also termed prohormones. The Nitrix, the Kre-Alk, and the 7-Methoxy are not.
