Not highly risky but they do provide some potential risks to natural hormone production, blood pressure, etc. Orals have liver risks. Most of these risks can be mitigated by proper post cycle therapy. The big side effects you hear about are usually at super high dosages that people like professional bodybuilders take. To put that in perspective I've seen pros quoted at taking 1g a week. A normal TRT dosage might be 100mg to 200mg per week. A normal beginner cycle dosage might be 200mg twice a week (400mg). On top of that pros are using a cocktail of insulin, growth hormone, multiple types of anabolic steroids, amphetamines, thing like clenbuterol and DNP.
Steroids them self are not nearly as dangerous as the media makes you believe. This is coming from someone who has clinically diagnosed hypogonadism (Low T) and has used Test. It's made a significant difference in my life.
- gadders 12y agoDisclaimer: I've never taken them, so what I'm saying is based on what I've read, but it seems to me that it's about as risky as cannabis or alcohol. If you're going to do what pro-bodybuilders do and inject enormous quantites (as well as insulin, HGH etc) then you probably deserve what you get.
