• Growth Hormones

  From Wikipedia.org: Growth hormone (GH) is a protein hormone secreted by the pituitary gland which stimulates growth and cell reproduction. It is also called somatotropin, and the human form of growth hormone is known as human growth hormone, or hGH. Many of the products in this category intend to boost your body's ability to produce it's own growth hormones. You should research every chemical (and its side effects) in any product that you are interested in.

• Prohormones

  Note: PricePlow is not an expert on Prohormones or any other hormonal supplement, and urges you to read every last word of Jud's COMPREHENSIVE PROHORMONE USER GUIDE before using. Do your research and avoid them if you are less than 22 years old.
  
  From Wikipedia.org: A typical prohormone is intended to be a precursor of an anabolic steroid like testosterone, which is taken in order to boost the body’s available hormone supply. These precursors are intended to be converted to full, active hormones via an enzymatic process that occurs during metabolism, typically resulting in the addition of whichever atoms happen to be missing from the chemical structure of the compound.
  
  Prohormones are used mainly by athletes looking to increase size, strength, endurance, reduce recovery time or add lean body mass. They are most often used for increasing muscle mass or reducing body fat levels. Life extension groups are also increasingly using prohormones as a means of hormone replacement therapy, as an alternative to prescription drug use.
  
  The use of prohormones has become popular among bodybuilders, since the effects can be similar (though normally much less drastic) to those achieved through the use of synthetic anabolic steroids, including gains in muscular strength and hypertrophy. There are currently many companies manufacturing prohormone products for this purpose.

• • Dehydroepiandrosterone - DHEA

    DHEA is an acronym for the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone. It is the precursor of androstenedione, which can then produce the androgen testosterone and the estrogens estrone and estradiol. This means that it is possible for higher increases in estrogen levels than testosterone in men. DHEA was shown to have no effect in building muscle mass for weight training in this study.

• Testosterone Boosters

  This category contains products that will boost your body's ability to naturally elevate its own testosterone levels.

• • Ecdysterone

    From Wikipedia.org:
    
    Despite lacking FDA approval it has proven to be moderately successful as a commercial product in the countries in which it is produced, likely due to its efficacy in promoting muscle growth and fat loss, and lower frequency of side-effects usually associated with anabolic steroids. Such side effects are still fairly common, however, as a result of increased testosterone and DHT production, and include androgenic changes in females such as growth of facial and body hair and deepening of the voice, as well as gastrointestinal problems for both sexes, such as nausea, bloating, and diarrhoea. Clinical studies by ICN Pharmaceuticals demonstrated that the results are further improved when the drug is combined with a high-protein diet, to the point of equaling or even surpassing the beneficial effects of conventionally derived steroids such as Dianabol.

  • Estrogen Inhibitors

    These products reduce the production of estrogen in your body. Most of these products contain anti-aromatase, or aromatase inhibitors, which inhibit the enzyme aromatase from doing its job of aromatization, which converts androgens into estrogens. Other such drugs are anastrazole (Arimidex), exemestane (Aromasin), and letrozole (Femara), which are most often used by women for menopause related issues and to prevent breast cancer.

  • Non-Hormonal

    Non-hormonal testosterone boosters are used to naturally enhance the function of testosterone and growth hormone within your body. These are safe alternative for people who do not want to use Prohormones

  • ZMA

    From Wikipedia.org: ZMA (Zinc monomethionine aspartate and Magnesium Aspartate) is a supplement used by bodybuilders and athletes. It was developed by Victor Conte (founder of BALCO Laboratories) and is a combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. ZMA is claimed to raise testosterone and IGF-1 levels which may aid in gaining muscle size and strength.

    A 2004 study conducted jointly by the Exercise & Sport Nutrition Lab of Baylor University, IMAGINutrition, and the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, found that ZMA has no effect on strength, hormone levels, or anaerobic capacity. Other studies show similar results in athletes with proper diets.

• Tribulus

  From Wikipedia.org: Tribulus is a genus of plants found in many warm regions. The best-known member is T. terrestris, a widespread weed and also the source of a dietary supplement claimed to increase the body's natural testosterone levels and thereby improve male sexual performance and help build muscle. T. terrestris has consistently failed to increase testosterone levels in controlled studies. It has also failed to demonstrate strength-enhancing properties.
