The bodybuilding with steroids: a cocktail should be consumed with moderation.

This objective requires regular and intense efforts. Taking steroids, widespread in sporting environment, may be a little boost but beware, this type of product is not insignificant, far beyond.

The dangers of anabolic steroids

Taking steroids is not something to be done frivolously because these products can, if they are taken very badly, may cause unpleasant or even dangerous side effects: important acne, baldness, tendonitis, infertility, impotence, addiction, cardio-vascular disorders...

Psychologically, an anabolic steroids abuse disrupts the mood of the athlete who often becomes very aggressive. These negative effects of steroids are unfortunately not the only ones, there are still many others.
