When steroids begin to be dangerous for your health

Anabolic steroids, like many other drugs, can damage your health if abused. When staying right with their usage you get only benefits. That’s why we will talk not about how bad are steroids in general, but will try to bottom the line where their usage is dangerous for your health and you have to revise your further actions.

I always try to stay realistic and analyze situations with cold eyes. Going through dozens of articles and opinions about steroids help me to get a whole portrait about anabolics and their use.The big number of stereotypes associated with steroids consumption is not totally true. These are very powerful drugs, thus the side effects as well, but when used properly deliver great results and you can enjoy long life free health issues. The example of what i’m saying are numerous bodybuilders like Schwarzenegger who continue to enjoy happy life at his 66 years old.

I wiil not make a introduction to anabolic steroids as you all know what are they about. Being synthetic hormones of male hormone testosterone, steroids are able to make you look crazy in just few weeks. The main reason people resort to them is the aim to get a muscular physique. Professional sportives are also using them for increasing body strength and endurance. The consumption of steroids is prohibited in many countries, which have strict laws. Having, manufacturing or the attempt to sell steroids may send your in prison for several years. So, be careful with the countries you’re staying in and their law regarding steroids use ( what is legal in country may come illegal in the other one once you try to enter it).

Steroids have been created for treating many serious diseases. But came times when their use by professional athletes made any competition irrelevant. How can people who never used these drugs compete with another one who take them and have a greater performance?! It is unfair and also dangerous for people whose limits in their use are hard to fix. That’s why authorities decided to prohibit their use and make them available only in pharmacies. Steroids can be bought legally but you need a doctor prescription, and usually these are mild steroids with  modest effects in muscle growth.

Instead, on the black market the variety of steroids to choose from is quite wide. Powerful steroids can be purchased with decent amount of money and get to you in few days or a week. But are all those who purchase them educated about safe use of steroids and are they able to to know when to stop? My answer is not. Most of them are just running for the results that can be achieved with steroids, forgetting that you have also to work hard in the gym too. If they get informed before making any purchase about steroids usage and side effects, the number of those who complain about the dangerous of anabolics would be lessen.

Factors to consider for staying safe with steroids use:

1. Asses your experience as a bodybuilder and a steroid user. If you are younger than 20 years old and have less than one year of gym experience than steroids are not for you yet. Steroids usage in young people may confine their psychological and physical development. Also, steroids do not build muscle alone. You have to follow a special training program where lifting weights is a must.
If you are out of this category, than you can try steroids for bulking or cutting purpose. Testosterone is the everyone steroid to begin your cycle steroid. It works great and has no side effects.
2. Make sure you are well educated about stacking and cycling. If you know how to mix steroids and for how long time to take them, than most probably you use them safely. The most errors with steroids consumption come from user ignorance. If you take any other drug and use them blindly, then surely you get some underinsured side effects. So, be careful with steroids consumption as you are with any other drug.
3. Pay attention to your body signs. Steroids do cause a series of side effects, but the good news is that they disappear once you discontinue steroids use. Thus if there are signs that worry, just cease steroids use and let your body get to normal stage. Such side effect as gynecomastia is the most feared by men. It worsens when user continue to take steroids in spite of visible signs. Another reasons for this may be missing the antiestrogens or aromatase inhibitors use. They help the body to keep the estrogen level in normal limits. Estrogens are female hormones present in men muscle too. When estrogen level goes too low occurs the risk of developing those bitch tits (gynecomastia).
4. Check you predisposition to some diseases. Oral steroids are toxic for liver, since they contain a substance which block the excretory function of the liver. By doing so, oral steroids are able to get into bloodstream, otherwise they would be destroyed by liver enzymes. Therefore, if you have live issues is better to leave the idea of taking any oral. Mild injectable steroids can be a good alternative, if you do not fear needless.
