What are
ProHormones?
ProHormones are a chemical
compound that does not have a significant
hormonal effect in itself, but which is a
precursor to an actual active hormone.
Prohormones are taken in order to boost the
body's available hormone supply. Enzymes
convert these precursors to full, active
hormones during metabolism. The most commonly
used prohormones are anabolic precursors of
testosterone. Their effects are similar to
synthetic steroids and they are taken to
increase muscle mass and
strength.
