Prohormones are fairly prevalent in the world of bodybuilding and hold a definite appeal for young bodybuilders in particular. Many teenagers have been drawn into using performance enhancers as a quick way to build muscle mass, put on weight, and increase strength and speed on the playing field.

And the fact is, prohormones work. Taken in the right dosages, they can certainly boost strength and speed and add muscle. And while anabolic steroids are illegal and have a pretty bad reputation, prohormones are perfectly legal.

So why not take them? Well, in another article (whose link is just above) we looked objectively at the benefits. Now we’re going to look at the other side of the coin and discuss why prohormones should be avoided.

It’s important to understand that there is much unethical marketing in the world of prohormones. Loads of products are on the market, yet many are consistently ineffective. Hard-selling advertising makes it very difficult to know which ones really work and which ones are scams.

Some do certainly work, but only in certain body types. Tribulus Terrestris, for example, has proven to be an effective testosterone booster and does burn fat and build muscle mass. While this works impressively for older men, younger men are already producing as much testosterone as possible, making this drug essentially ineffective.

Prohormones are effective at raising testosterone levels, yet that often comes to the detriment of natural testosterone production. As time goes on, a user’s testosterone levels can permanently shut down. This is particularly detrimental in teenagers, as their bodies are still forming, which is one of the reasons that teenagers shouldn’t be taking prohormones in the first place. As hormone production is stymied, it can cause long-term consequences.


Man Boobs

A very visible side effect of prohormones is “man boobs” or “bitch tits” in the bodybuilding world. A male bodybuilder can start to grow breasts with a prominent puffiness around the nipple area. In many cases, this ugly side effect is even visible through a shirt.

I have used them before and i had more side effects on a pro hormone like drol, then i did running oral trenbolone.

That was enough for me to quit them.

i have used test boosters as sort of pct aswell i think they are classed as pro hormones but didnt really think much of it

Agreed, I'd stay away from pro hormones they have ben reported by many to produce gyno. If you going to use them, use an anti estrogen during and after.
