Anabolic Steroids
Are anabolic steroids the same as natural steroids?
No, while both have similar properties there are differences between natural steroids and anabolic steroids. Natural steroids include the hormones estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol. Anabolic steroids while having the same chemical nucleus, were designed to maximize the anabolic properties of the hormone testosterone. Is it difficult to make anabolic steroids?
Unlike natural steroids, which are made in the body from the cholesterol molecule, most anabolic steroids and steroid drugs are made in labs from the Mexican Sarsaparilla root. When some people hear this they think it’s just a matter of eating raw Saraparilla root, but it doesn’t work that way. Only special chemical modification can turn the natural compounds in Saraparilla into anabolic steroids drugs. article 23 part 1

When were they first made?
Dr John Ziegler made the first anabolic steroids in the late 1950’s. At the time Dr Ziegler was working for the Ciba Corporation and coaching the American weightlifting team. After years of dominating weightlifting, the Russians were suddenly beating the American teams. When Dr Ziegler started investigating he discovered that the Russians were giving their athletes testosterone injections. As a response Dr Ziegler in conjunction with Ciba developed a drug called Dianabol to mimic testosterone’s effects. As the first of a new wave of anabolic steroids, Dianabol is probably the most famous steroid. created by www.lsteroids.com
