Overview

Prohormones are chemicals that the body converts into hormones such as testosterone or estrogen. They are often marketed to athletes and bodybuilders.

Prohormones are used to increase testosterone levels, improve athletic performance, increase energy, and for other purposes, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses. Prohormones may also be unsafe.

In the US, prohormones are considered the same as anabolic steroids and are not legally permitted in supplement products. Prohormones are also banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and some prohormones are banned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
