Strong human Anastrozole (Arimidex) Anastrozole is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor — a prescription breast-cancer drug, not a peptide — with strong trial evidence in postmenopausal women and a separate, unstudied off-label use by men to suppress estrogen. It is banned in sport at all times.
Animal only Boldenone (Equipoise) Boldenone is an injectable anabolic-androgenic steroid (a synthetic derivative of testosterone), not a peptide. Its only sanctioned use today is veterinary; there is no modern human clinical evidence supporting its physique or performance claims.
Preliminary human Clenbuterol Clenbuterol is a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (a bronchodilator and livestock 'repartitioning' agent) used off-label for fat loss — never FDA-approved for humans, banned in sport as an anabolic agent, and notable for serious cardiac and electrolyte toxicity. It is not a steroid and not a peptide.
Strong human Clomiphene (Clomid) Clomiphene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), not a peptide, with strong human evidence that it raises testosterone in hypogonadal men while preserving fertility; male use is off-label, it is prescription-only, and it is banned in sport at all times.
Preliminary human Drostanolone (Masteron) Drostanolone is an injectable, DHT-derived anabolic-androgenic steroid once approved as a palliative breast-cancer drug. Its bodybuilding reputation for 'hardening' and 'dryness' has no controlled human evidence, and it carries the full androgen-class risk profile.
Preliminary human Enclomiphene Enclomiphene is the anti-estrogenic isomer of clomiphene — a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), not a peptide. Human trials consistently show it raises testosterone while preserving fertility, but it is NOT FDA-approved for any use, is available only via off-label compounding, and is banned in sport at all times.
Strong human Exemestane (Aromasin) Exemestane is an oral, steroidal third-generation aromatase inhibitor — an FDA-approved breast-cancer drug, not a peptide. Bodybuilders use it off-label to suppress estrogen, an unapproved and unstudied practice that is banned in sport (WADA S4) and can be genuinely harmful when estrogen is crashed.
Preliminary human Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) Fluoxymesterone 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.
Strong human HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) HCG is a glycoprotein gonadotropin that mimics luteinizing hormone, with strong human evidence for fertility and hypogonadism uses and a formal FDA disclaimer against the discredited 'hCG diet' for weight loss.
Strong human Insulin Insulin is a 51-amino-acid peptide hormone and one of medicine's most life-saving drugs for diabetes — but as a performance/anabolic agent in healthy people it has no good efficacy evidence and the highest acute lethality risk of common PEDs.
Strong human Letrozole (Femara) Letrozole is an oral, nonsteroidal third-generation aromatase inhibitor — an FDA-approved breast-cancer and (off-label) fertility drug, not a peptide. Bodybuilders use it off-label to suppress estrogen, an unapproved and unstudied practice that is banned in sport (WADA S4) and can be genuinely harmful when estrogen is crashed.
Strong human Liothyronine (T3, Cytomel) Liothyronine is synthetic T3 thyroid hormone — an FDA-approved prescription drug (not a peptide), misused off-label as a fat-loss agent. Properly dosed and monitored it looks safe; the danger is dose-driven thyrotoxicosis from unsupervised overdose.
No credible evidence Mesterolone (Proviron) Mesterolone is an oral, DHT-derived anabolic-androgenic steroid once sold abroad for male hypogonadism and idiopathic infertility. Controlled human trials for its two historic uses (fertility, mood) are negative or unconvincing, and its performance 'anti-estrogen' reputation has no strong human evidence.
Strong human Methandrostenolone (Dianabol) An oral 17α-alkylated anabolic-androgenic steroid (not a peptide) with real but modest controlled-trial evidence for gains in body weight and lean mass; it is a Schedule III controlled substance with no current US medical use and well-documented liver, cardiovascular, and hormonal harms.
Animal only Methasterone (Superdrol) Methasterone is an oral 17α-alkylated anabolic-androgenic steroid (a 17α-methyl version of drostanolone), never an approved medicine; its only robust human evidence is harm — severe cholestatic liver injury — not efficacy.
Preliminary human Methenolone (Primobolan) A DHT-derived anabolic-androgenic steroid once used medically for bone-marrow-failure anemias and historically studied in breast cancer; its 'mild and safe' bodybuilding reputation rests on lore, not controlled performance trials.
Strong human Nandrolone (Deca-Durabolin) 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.
Strong human Oxymetholone (Anadrol) Oxymetholone is a potent oral anabolic-androgenic steroid (not a peptide) with genuine controlled-trial support in wasting illness, but it carries serious, well-documented liver, lipid, and hormonal risks.
Strong human Raloxifene (Evista) Raloxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) — an FDA-approved postmenopausal osteoporosis and breast-cancer-risk-reduction drug, not a peptide. Its defining serious risks are blood clots and fatal stroke; it is banned in sport at all times (WADA S4.2).
Strong human Somatropin (HGH) Recombinant human growth hormone — a protein hormone with strong evidence in true GH deficiency and specific medical conditions, but only small body-composition changes and no proven performance benefit in healthy adults. Non-medical distribution is a federal felony.
Preliminary human Stanozolol (Winstrol) Stanozolol is an oral/injectable anabolic-androgenic steroid with a famous doping history; its physique reputation rests on weak evidence, while its harmful effects on lipids and the liver are robustly documented.
Strong human Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) — an FDA-approved breast-cancer drug with one of the strongest evidence bases in oncology, not a peptide. Anabolic-steroid users take it off-label to blunt gynecomastia and attempt testosterone 'restart,' an unstudied practice that is banned in sport (WADA S4.2) and not without real risk.
Strong human Testosterone Testosterone is the principal human androgen and the prototypical anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) — not a peptide — with strong, reproducible human evidence for dose-dependent muscle and strength gains, FDA approval only for confirmed hypogonadism, Schedule III control, and real cardiovascular, hematologic, and hormonal safety signals.
Animal only Trenbolone Trenbolone is a potent injectable anabolic-androgenic steroid — never a peptide — with no human efficacy trials, an FDA-approved use only as a cattle growth-promoting implant, and serious androgenic, cardiovascular, and hormonal risks.
Animal only Turinabol (Oral Turinabol) Turinabol is an orally active 17α-alkylated anabolic-androgenic steroid — the signature drug of East Germany's state doping program — with no modern controlled human efficacy trials and the full risk profile of an oral AAS.
