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.
