Steroids for kids that haven't yet finished growing is very dangerous. It can stunt growth and cause problems for life. Besides, young males are loaded with testosterone. They really don't need any more.

What sloppy reporting.

Andro is not a steroid and there is nothing in the article that supports the headline.

"Steroid use up 50 percent" Then the article begins discussing andro and creatine.

If these filthy criminal hypocrites who pretend to run the schools are so concerned about drug abuse that should start by stopping their shameless promotion of the highly addictive amphetamine Ritalin. God only knows what that filthy drug is doing to childrens' growing bodies.

I laugh every time I see one of those phony baloney "Drug Free Zone" sign on a Publik Skrool. Filthy drug pushers run the places.

Exactly, only a moron would lump creatine in with anabolic steroids.

There are some very nice goodies on the market today that are available OTC. Methydienolone and 1-MT pack a very nice anabolic wallop with almost no androgenic sides.
Might be kinda hard on the liver though...

Stack 1-Test with Animal Pak. The Pak included buffers for the liver including nutrients that get leached. All of the new 1-test products out there carry big old warning labels that are familiar to any gym rat.

Kids should stick to protein, a good mega-vitamin, and plenty of sleep. We hardly need new rules for that though. Education and the threat of shrinking nads oughta be enough to keep most of them clear.

Yep, I should have pointed out that kids shouldn't be taking ANYTHING other than a lot of food, rest and work.

For us geezers who want to push it a bit but don't want the DEA on our butts....there are alternatives. You should check out that methyldienolone. It's a step beyond the 1-test products in term of effectiveness. I'm on my second week of a 4 week cycle. So far, I'm liking the increased strength and I'm a bit leaner. I'm taking milk thistle for liver support, maybe I should check out those animal packs too.

Its all about connecting "steroids" with other "performance ehancing" supplements so they can get the FDA in on the billion dollar supplement industry.

The methylated versions of prohormones are what will finally bring the FDA down on prohormones in general.

We are heading towards the EU, who is just about to require a prescription for Vit C.

Sorry...It happened to a guy in high-shool, he heard about it, tried it out and experienced the results...ended up getting food poisoning from it.

Animal website..

I tried the Andro stack and the vitamins. The bars and protein powder are a good formula as far as ingredients are concerned, but taste noxious. It's been a couple years since I was lifting heavy enough to think I needed supplements, but these really seemed to work.
