Is taking steroids or natural human testosterone safe?

Question

Im into bodybuilding and sports would taking the prescription drug androgel be safe? im 26 years old and have normal testosterone levels but sometimes i feel like c**p have no s*x drive and feel weak in the gym. people who take steroids use massive doses of synthetic testsoterone and it really shows. What if someone took it as needed in very small doses like 25% of what you would a male would normally make in a day.

This wouldnt cause many side effect cause of the low doses would it then be safe? Imagine this steroids abusers drink 14 beers im talking about only drinking 2 beers as needed you get mt drift?

Answer 1

Short term intake (few days, moderate dose) of steroids for medical reasons has usually no ill effects, you could extrapolate this to your situation. I think however that you are on a slippery slope if you felt the need to take any (enhancing) drugs.

Answer 2

No steroid is safe, they must only be taken if prescribed and any side effect reported back to the doctor immediately, all side effects are to be considered dangerous, if you feel down weak etc try a diet change eat food with iron in it or check for diabetes

Answer 3

Steroids and natural testosterone are very powerful substances, and the way they work is not well understood.  Sensible exercise, good nutrition and adequate sleep will not produce dramatic results, but you can only make the body perform within its own limits.  If you try to beat nature, you will pay a price now and especially down the road.  Respect your body and leave this self-medication to foolish people who don't know enough to respect nature.
