All anabolic/androgenic steroids are preparations containing one of the three natural steroid hormones, or their chemically altered derivatives:
- Testosterone and its derivatives is our most powerful muscle-building hormone, and also exhibits strong androgenic activity due to its conversion to a more potent steroid (dihydrotestosterone) via 5-alpha reductase.
- Dihydrotestosterone and its derivatives is the only steroid devoid of the possibility of aromatization and 5-alpha reduction. It was a very popular choice in the creation of synthetics that lack estrogenic activity and/or exhibit a more balanced androgenic to anabolic activity ratio.
- Nandrolone and its derivatives are typically used when even lower androgenic action is desired, due to its weakening upon interaction with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. Nandrolone also aromatizes much more slowly than testosterone.
