They are molcules that are identical or mimic the hormones our own body creates.
Depending on the molecule it tells our body to do one or more things.
~~Adrenaline f.ex. Increases our heart rate, expands the airways to allow for more oxygen intake, makes our neurons work quicker, dulls pain and removes the mental limiter that protects us from the strength of our own muscles working at 100% capacity. It probably has even more effects but I’m not avare of then from the top of my head.~~
Anabloic steroids mimic the human growth hormone, somatotropin. And tells our body among other things to build more muscle cells. It too tells our body to do more things but I thought I’d do a short version about hormones that I know a little more about.
Most hormones can be used for medical purposes, far fewer are used for gym purposes.
Edit: **IMPORTANT,** I have been notified I had false information. I put stikethorugh over it to show it’s to be discarded, but I also don’t want the reply to my comment seem odd.
