1-Androstenediol 1-Andro

A supplement-era ingredient that the body can convert into a strong, muscle-building form of testosterone. Bodybuilders have reported real strength and muscle gains from it, but this comes from personal accounts rather than proper studies, and it can strain the liver the way similar oral products do.
