Androstenedione Risks

There are significant androstenedione risks that have been linked to the dietary supplement. Not only have studies shown a failure for androstenedione to build up muscle mass, as supplement takers believed it would, but androstenedione risks include negatively altering the ratio of good cholesterol to bad, increasing the risk for heart disease, enlargement of the prostate, or prostate cancer, and the intake of too much androstenedione can cause the body to stop making its own testosterone, thus resulting in a very large increase in estrogen.

According to experts, when androstenedione was released onto the market no one knew what androstenedione risks were because only one study was performed on it. The androstenedione study was only performed in two females looking at testosterone levels in the blood for just 90 minutes, an inadequate assessment of androstenedione risks. Androstenedione risks are potentially deadly and have been banned by all major athletic associations.
