Prohormones

Prohormones are a potent bodybuilding supplement that increases size and strength without turning to anabolic steroids. Many people use prohormones to gain substantial muscle mass and strength that cannot be experienced with less powerful supplements. Prohormones are precursors to the male sex hormones testosterone and dihydrotestosterone.

Porhormones are hormonal precursors that are converted by the body to the actual anabolic hormone. Prohormones have been around the bodybuilding community since the early 1990’s, and the eventual result of prohormone supplementation is a hormonal function similar to that of steroids.

Prohormones enhance and encourage the strength of hormones already present in the body without adding hormones like anabolic steroids do. The prohormone reaction requires certain liver enzymes during digestion to initiate the process to convert the prohormones to active anabolic steroids. Many differences separate prohormones and illegal anabolic steroids, the greatest being the method by which they enter the body. The reaction that prohormones encourage in the body leads nutrients to build muscle rather than store fat.

Prohormones need enzymes already in the body to initiate the wanted reaction, and due to this prohormone supplementation can have varying effects from person to person. If the key enzymes are not present the prohormone effect will not occur. Due to this, there is a ceiling on the amount of muscle that prohormones can enhance, which makes prohormones less dangerous than steroids.

Prohormone supplementation can have significant effect on endurance, strength and size while also reducing recovery times. Prohormones can be very effective at increasing lean muscle mass, as well as increasing testosterone levels in aging men.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a popular form of prohormone supplementation. DHEA is an intermediate, natural steroid hormone produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA is a very effective prohormone as it is further converted to generate 50 other essential hormones. DHEA is converted the male hormone (andregens) or female hormone (estrogens) in the cells. DHEA is the highest level hormone in our blood, and without an adequate level of DHEA in the blood many vital hormonal and metabolic functions can be negatively affected.

Our bodies tend to produce less and less DHEA as we grow older, and our blood DHEA level regularly fall drastically by the age of 30, and by as much as 50% by 40. Increased levels of DHEA have been found to improve a sense of well-being, reduce body fat and improve skin tone and moisture, increase sex drive, improve the immune system, enhance memory, and increase body density. Low levels of DHEA have been shown to increase the risks of diseases such as breast cancer, autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s disease.
