Legal Steroids Available Over-the-Counter
Overview
The term "legal steroids" can be tricky to pin down. Steroid legality varies by country, meaning some steroids may be legal in one place but not in another.
Understanding Legal Steroids
Before the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 took effect in the U.S. on January 20, 2005, many anabolic steroids could be bought over-the-counter. This changed with the new legislation, which classified these substances as controlled, making possession illegal and adding certain prohormones to the controlled list.
What Are Prohormones?
Often referred to as legal steroids, prohormones are over-the-counter supplements that mimic the effects of anabolic steroids. These "steroid precursors" emerged following the Federal Anabolic Control Act on March 1, 1991. Marketed as having no side effects, they became popular and widely available. Some notable prohormones include Andros, 4-androstenedione, 4-androstenediol (4-AD), 19-norandrostenedione, 19-norandrostenediol, 1-androstenediol (1-AD), and DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone).
Regulatory Actions
In 2004, the FDA banned the sale of Andro, citing significant health risks. In the U.S., dietary supplements containing DHEA are promoted for various health benefits and are regulated as foods. However, purchasing DHEA in Canada requires a prescription. Despite being marketed as legal steroids, there is ongoing legislative attention on these supplements. The U.S. Senate introduced a bill to classify DHEA as a controlled anabolic steroid.
Conclusion
The legality of steroids and related supplements can be complex and varies by location. Understanding these nuances is crucial for compliance and safety.
