- Anabolic steroids are commonly used to build muscle mass and reduce body fat. These steroids are a chemical derivative of the naturally-occurring male hormone testosterone.
- The most popular anabolic steroids are Deca Durabolin, Sustanon, Winstrol and Dianabol tablets.
- Androgenic steroids develop secondary male characteristics, such as the deepening of the voice. Thickening of nonreproductive tract tissues, such as bones, the larynx and vocal chords, also occurs. A decrease in body fat is seen with the use of androgenic steroids, too.
- Equipoise, Anadrol and Oxandrin are common androgenic steroids.
- Cortico steroids are steroids that imitate the effect of Cortisone-like hormones in the body. These hormones help to regulate inflammation. Cortico steroids are different from anabolic and androgenic steroids as they are used in the treatment of bodily ailments.
- Common cortico steroids are Prednisolone, Hydrocortisone and Triamcinolone.
