ClassAnabolic steroidAnabolic steroid
SummaryFluoxymesterone is an oral 17α-alkylated anabolic-androgenic steroid (not a peptide), once FDA-approved for hypogonadism and breast-cancer palliation but now largely obsolete. Its strongest, best-documented human data concern liver injury rather than benefit, and non-medical use is illegal and banned in sport.Nandrolone is an injectable anabolic-androgenic steroid (not a peptide) with high-quality trial evidence that it builds lean mass in catabolic illness, but weaker evidence for strength or functional gains and real androgenic, hormonal, and cardiovascular risks.

Fluoxymesterone, sold for decades under the brand name Halotestin, is a man-made anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) — a lab-made cousin of testosterone. You take it as a pill, and it's built from testosterone with a chemical tweak (called 17α-methylation) that lets it survive being swallowed. It's a…

Nandrolone

Nandrolone, best known by the brand name Deca-Durabolin, is a man-made anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS — a drug that builds muscle and acts like testosterone). Chemically it's 19-nortestosterone, a close cousin of testosterone. It is not a peptide and not a SARM. There's real, solid human research…
