Frequently Asked Questions

Anabolic steroids are synthetic versions of testosterone. When introduced into the body, they bind to androgen receptors found in muscle tissue, bone, and other organs. This binding triggers an increase in protein synthesis, which is the process by which cells build new proteins—the building blocks of muscle. The result is accelerated muscle growth, improved strength output, faster recovery between training sessions, and enhanced nitrogen retention in muscle tissue. Different steroids have different ratios of anabolic (muscle-building) to androgenic (masculinising) effects, which is why compound selection matters based on your goals.

Corticosteroids (not to be confused with anabolic steroids) reduce inflammation by suppressing the immune system’s inflammatory response. They inhibit the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, chemicals that cause swelling, redness, and pain. Anabolic steroids can also have mild anti-inflammatory effects through improved recovery and tissue repair, though they are not prescribed primarily for this purpose. If you are looking for steroids for a medical inflammatory condition, corticosteroids (prescribed by a doctor) are the appropriate treatment.

Corticosteroids can raise blood sugar levels by reducing insulin sensitivity and increasing glucose production in the liver. This is why diabetic patients on steroid therapy often need to adjust their insulin or medication dosages. Anabolic steroids can also affect glucose metabolism, though the effects are generally milder. If you have diabetes or prediabetes, consult your healthcare provider before using any steroid compound.

Yes. Steroids are a class of organic compounds that include many hormones naturally produced by the body. Testosterone, oestrogen, cortisol, and progesterone are all steroid hormones. Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives specifically designed to replicate or enhance the anabolic effects of testosterone. They interact with the endocrine system, which is why proper cycle management and Post Cycle Therapy are essential to restore natural hormone production after use.

Some anabolic steroids can accelerate hair loss in individuals who are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. Compounds with high androgenic ratings, such as Trenbolone and Dianabol, are more likely to trigger this. Steroids with lower androgenic profiles, such as Anavar and Primobolan, are generally considered safer in this regard. If hair loss is a concern, discuss DHT-blocking strategies with a healthcare professional and consider compounds with a lower androgenic-to-anabolic ratio.

Yes. Some anabolic steroids can raise blood pressure through water retention, increased red blood cell production, and changes to cholesterol levels. Compounds that aromatise heavily (convert to oestrogen), such as Testosterone and Dianabol, are more likely to cause water retention and elevated blood pressure. Monitoring your blood pressure during a cycle is essential. Staying hydrated, managing sodium intake, and using an aromatase inhibitor when appropriate can help mitigate this.

Fatigue can occur during or after a steroid cycle for several reasons. Some compounds can disrupt sleep patterns, particularly Trenbolone, which is known for causing night sweats and insomnia. After a cycle, when natural testosterone production is suppressed, tiredness is common until hormone levels recover. This is precisely why Post Cycle Therapy is so important—it helps restore your body’s natural testosterone production and energy levels more quickly.

Anabolic steroids should not be used during pregnancy. They can cross the placenta and affect foetal development, particularly causing virilisation in female foetuses. Corticosteroids may be prescribed by a doctor during pregnancy in specific situations (e.g., to mature foetal lungs in preterm labour), but this is a clinical decision made by a qualified physician. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, do not use anabolic steroids and consult your GP.

Oral steroids are generally best taken with food to reduce the risk of stomach irritation and improve absorption. Taking them with a meal that includes dietary fat can enhance bioavailability for some compounds. Corticosteroid tablets prescribed by a doctor should almost always be taken with or after food. For specific dosing advice on individual compounds, refer to the product information or consult a healthcare professional.

Anabolic steroids are classified as Class C controlled substances in the UK. It is legal to possess them for personal use, and importing them for personal use is also permitted. However, it is illegal to supply, sell, or distribute them without a valid licence. We encourage all customers to familiarise themselves with UK law regarding controlled substances.

Arnold has publicly acknowledged using anabolic steroids during his competitive bodybuilding career in the 1970s. Based on what was commonly available and used during that era, it is widely believed he used Dianabol (Methandrostenolone), Primobolan (Methenolone), and Deca-Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate). These were among the most popular compounds in the golden age of bodybuilding. Steroid protocols were significantly different then compared to modern use—dosages were generally lower, and fewer compounds were available.

This is a matter of religious interpretation and varies among Islamic scholars. Some scholars consider anabolic steroids permissible if used for legitimate medical treatment under a doctor’s supervision, as Islamic jurisprudence generally permits medication for genuine health needs. Others consider non-medical use to be impermissible if it involves harming the body, as preservation of health is a core Islamic principle. We recommend consulting a knowledgeable Islamic scholar or trusted religious authority for guidance specific to your situation.

Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is a protocol used after a steroid cycle to help the body restore its natural testosterone production. During a cycle, exogenous hormones suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, reducing natural testosterone output. Without PCT, recovery can take months, during which you may experience fatigue, mood changes, muscle loss, and reduced libido. Common PCT compounds include Clomid (Clomiphene), Nolvadex (Tamoxifen), and HCG. We stock all major PCT products in our Post Cycle Therapy category.
