Steroids - How Safe Are They?

[AJW91]

In your opinion, how safe are steroids? What about other performance-enhancement drugs like HGH, clen, etc.? From a health standpoint, does it make sense for someone who does not have any pre-existing hormonal deficiencies to start using steroids? If so, which ones and at what dose?

Lastly, if you use steroids but don't think that they're healthy, then why do you use them? What makes you value getting unnaturally large muscles at the expense of your health?

Just wondering. I'd like to see what everyone has to say.

Well "safe" is a subjective term, it all depends on what one compares it to. According the mortality statistics of the CDC it's very safe relatively speaking, seeing how more people have definitively died from over the counter meds and vitamins than steroids. As with anything one chooses to do with their body there is a cost/benefit ratio, whether it's one's eating habits or how active one is. Most people who use steroids recreationaly at least take care of themselves in other aspects i.e. exercising and healthy eating, as opposed to main stream sociaty who don't use steroids, however, do not eat healthy or exercise at all leading to obesity and other health related problems that have lead to more deaths than steroids have.

Okay... But the question is how safe are steroids? We know that exercising and eating well is healthy, but what about using steroids? Used responsibly, are steroids healthy? Or is all steroid use by healthy males without hormone deficiencies simply abuse?

Allow me to reframe the question... If your primary goal was health, not physique, would you use steroids?

"Steriods" is a broad spectrum of compounds. Some are safer than others! Then you get into the relm of use and abuse. I believe the moderate use of performance enhancing drugs is relatively safe. But then who's definition of moderate are we using?

It seems as if you're looking for a yes or no answer when it's not yes or no question, as I said, it's subjective. Just like asking if asprin is safe. With in reason yes, asprin is safe, but there have been more deaths from asprin than from steroids according to the Centers of Disease Control. That said, I DID answer your question in my first post, I said "yes" but within reason. And again "within reason" is a subjective term.

I believe certain ones to be safe in moderation and I structure my use accordingly. Great question!

If you are already perfectly healthy, and your goal is health, I'd say you'd have no reason to use AAS. If you were hormone deficient, or something along those lines, drugs could improve one's health in certain cases.

it's like asking how safe is driving a car ? depends on how you drive it...for steroids, depends on how you use it, genetics play a huge role in this one as well

way to many variables but...

Is one taking orals, test, tren, eq, mast, clen, lasix etc etc.

nothing in moderation is really that bad aka alcohol, marijuana, even opiates if you can handle partying like that recreationaly...

but if you drink alcohol everyday then yes your going to have some health problems, same concept with steroids

I dont think its how safe they as much as how safe you are using them. Most are used medicinally.
