A reputable source for black market medicine? If I'm injecting something in my arse I'd want a better sense of security than that.
But it does help when people do there own research rather than take someone else's advice.
Steroids are either in pills, injection & sometimes sub-lingual.
So your mate will be checking to see if they were made in a safe way then?
He'll be checking they have been stored properly over their lifetime?
He'll be certain that the factory was sterile?
Your own research? Balls, you know nothing really about where these come from or how they are made.
To be honest you can say that about most things. I wasnt there when they made my vitmamin c, so how do I know its legit? The same with steroids, it starts off with word of mouth then it goes from there.
Granted, that is indeed true, up to a point. But your vitamin C was made in a factory which is inspected, random samples of their produce will be inspected and if anything is found then it will be withdrawn from sale.
Your steriods are not checked at any point, there are no inspections, no safety checks of any kind.
And you are also right that the risk is probably slight, however the risk is there that you'll get a batch that's contaminated, or has various germs or foreign bodies in it...etc. Same as when you buy any black market good.
Take the risk if you want but its stupid to deny it.
You can easily spot fake gear if you know how to. There is no chance of steroids to be contaminated as they are safety sealed & protected just like the medication you would get from your DR.
There is ways of tampering with the gear without people noticing, but you can easily spot it if you know how to.
Besides why would a reputable source attempt to mess around with people? They are a reputable source that has the customers. Always know who & what your buying of people.
Was my can of coke contaminated? Was my antibiotics contaminated.
Obviously there is a risk somewhere or other, but it happens only in the rarest of cases.
They come straight from the lab just like all other medication would be.
So you know the factory is safe do you?
Whatever you fancy believing is up to you, I'm just pointing out how little you really know about what you are taking.
And this lab is regulated by? I presume its in India or Eastern Europe.
What is it you dont understand? Steroids are medicines that Dr's prescribes.
When you go to the DR & gives you antibiotics do you question him about how they are made & if checks have been taken to ensure quality sterility & safety?
And what lab is regulated? Steroids are made all over the world. They are regulated by the Food & drugs administration (FDA) that means that the government has its own check list on what it checks for as with every other medication. I say it once again steroids are not made for bb purpose. Apart from the new designer steroids like superdrol which are classed as nutritional supplements, aas are for medical purpose only.
Im on steroids at the moment.. I assume they are weak ones though or not the same you are talking about...
Its called Prednisolone. It was prescribed to treat a chest infection...
Thinking about it, in what way would they help? and surely they arnt the same things body builders would take?
Firstly, you do NOT have to include testosterone in any cycle to make it safe OR effective! Testosterone is highly androgenic and people often avoid it, especially if they are acne prone.
Bongbudda is also right, a LOT of steroids are produced in under ground labs. Yes, there are a lot of reputable UG Labs that you will be OK to buy from, provided the gear isn't a fake of course, yes UG Labs are faked too!
But you can buy what is called pharma grade gear which is manufactured under pharmacutical conditions in different countries, iranian test is very popular at the mo and very good value for money.
You need to make sure you've got a good, trustworthy source, because gear is WIDELY faked and you don't want to be fucking about with non-sterile shit.
Take precautions, get your training and diet nailed before even considering it! For the record I am natural and do a 110k squat, 110k bench and 160k deadlift, and I'm still no where near ready!
Another reason is without using test. you are very likely not to keep any gains.
Testosterone is the purest & closest thing to natural in the body. It is not a derivative of test. like other steroids. Being highly androgenic doesn't mean it should be avoided, if people research then they know how to avoid side effects like balding, enlarged prostrates. If acne is what puts them off (which most steroids will give you acne) then they obviously shouldn't use steroids. Ever wonder why no top bb appears to have acne?
For the record, for the time being at the moment I am natural.
That must have been some bad chest infection.
There are hundreds of steroids, the ones bodybuilders use are the ones that promote a drastic increase in protein synthesis.
I haven't heard of Prednisolone on the athlete scene, then again not all steroids are used by there medical name.
If in fact it was an anabolic bb use, then its highly unlikely it would take an effect at the dosages the DR prescribes.
Exactly, holograms, serial numbers... all of that is easy to fake.
I could repeat myself over and over, but there seems little point. I advise you to objectively think about how much you really know about the medicine.
Really if they are from a legit source & the products are legit (which you can tell otherwise) then there is no problem.
So you are getting stolen NHS supplies then?
Different type of steroid. Prednisolone is a cortico-steroid, used to treat inflammatory conditions. Body building steroids are anabolic steroids which are different.

It's also worth noting they are Class C under the misuse of drugs act
I guess you didn't read it properly.
FWIW, I work for a substance misuse service in London. We see a few steroid users. Its not as harmless as you're making out.
EDIT: Who is making out there harmless?
Cool, thats what I wanted to know!
Cheers fella!
