True. But the original Androstenedione that came out about 10 years ago was labeled a "Pro-hormone" because it required an enzyme from your body before it could be converted into a metabolically active hormone. That's how they were able to get through the legal loophole with it. Stuff like M-1t requires no such conversion so that is definitely a pure steroid.
In this context, that is a correct. In the real world, all internet gurus and bro science aside, Taylor's correct about the pro hormones. That's why I laugh when people toss out all their egg yolks for instance. People look at microcosms and forget about the big picture.
But yeah, fuck is m1t ever potent. The first time I tried it I got weaker and then I got blood work... lipids were thrashed!!!!! No wonder why I felt like shit... just 10mgs before the gym will make you feel like a god if it's real m1t. I know national competitors that think it's better than dbol and any other oral. I like it in low doses for short durations.
We've all got to remember though - at the end of the day just because something isn't an estrogenic compound, that doesn't mean that you can't get gyno!!! Prolactin, progestins, IGF-1, etc... they're all related to gyno. Fucking with your hormones can cause gyno whether or not a compound aromatizes directly into estrogen. Stamp out some of the hormones above and gyno will have a hard time developing. You generally want to stamp out estrogen first or at least contain it if you're prone to gyno (like me) and failing that, go with the eccentric drugs like dopamine receptor agonists and all that shit.
