Course 6 – Oral Vs. Injectable steroids

Presented by: http://www.isteroids.com

The two most common methods of taking anabolic steroids are orally

or by injection. There are pros and cons to both methods; lets take a

look at each more closely.

Oral steroids

Oral steroids have greater chance of side effects due to the fact that

when they are ingested, they have to pass through and be broken

down by the liver in order to be passed into the bloodstream and their

effects utilized. Steroids taken orally are subject to aggressive action

by the liver whose main job is to protect the body by ridding it from

toxins. This puts a great deal of strain on the liver and, in cases of

abuse; this can result in significant liver damage. Oral steroids are

made to withstand the liver pass through process therefore they are

made more potently knowing that some will be lost during that

process. They also have to be taken in higher amounts to make up for

the percentage that is broken down and lost during the liver bypass.

Oral steroids have a shorter metabolic “half-life” than injectable

steroids. A “half-life” is how long it takes your body to eliminate half of

the drug from your body and is commonly referred to as the amount of

time it stays in your system. Oral steroids only last 3-5 hours per pill

due to their shorter half-lives. Therefore, oral steroids need to be

taken several times each day putting even more strain on the liver.

Their shorter half-life also makes oral steroids less easily detectable by

drug tests. This is due to the fact that they are completely eliminated

by the body usually with in a few weeks time. So oral steroids become

a safer route for athletes looking to improve performance while

escaping from drug testing.

Beginners to steroids are often unsure of injections and do not feel

comfortable injecting themselves. There is fear of missing the target

area and accidentally injecting the drug into a tendon or vein, which

can be dangerous and can lead to infection or potentially fatal blood

clot. There is also a fear of needles and the associated pain and

possible sight of blood. Often there is a sort of anxiety associated with

self-injection and mentally is linked to crossing over to a “dark side” of

drug use. People have been comfortably swallowing pills since they’ve

been old enough to swallow and although the injectable route can be

less hazardous, the oral route seems less risky and druggie-esque a

practice to a new steroid user. This makes oral steroids very popular

in the underground bodybuilding community.

Injectable steroids

Injectable steroids are theoretically safer than the oral version because

they do not have to be digested and passed through the liver for

breakdown. They are not as stressful on the

liver as orals and are much less potent because

they don’t have to be made to withstand the

liver bypass.

Injectable steroids are either water-based or oilbased.

The water-based steroids are generally

shorter in half-life than oil-based steroids, which

are much longer in comparison to oral steroids. This ultimately means

that oil-based steroids generally exhibit the most delayed uptake into

the body (effects last the longest). However, this also makes oilbased

injectable steroids the most readily detected by drug tests.

Below is a table which lists drug names (generic and commercial) and

the route by which they are administered:

well thats all for now i'll let you research the rest yourself, good luck, and remember, train wise, eat often and as healthy as you can, and get plenty of rest! :wink:

Try an be civil who are you the forum police? thats what mods are for not you. :doh:

The mods are only needed BECAUSE people don't behave themselves. What tom had to say was fair enough and provided some useful info which is better than telling the guy to just f off.

:roll:

lol get off tom's nuts

3 years between visits and your telling people how to behave? Come on.
