Anabolic Steroid WikipediaThe three compounds that are commonly used as "anabolic" agents in bodybuilding or sports‑enhancement programs are:
|
| Compound | Type / Origin |
|---|----------|---------------|
| 1 | Testosterone | The endogenous male sex hormone (the natural anabolic steroid). |
| 2 | Oxymetholone | A synthetic anabolic steroid (brand name Anadrol), created by modifying testosterone. |
| 3 | Nandrolone | Another synthetic anabolic steroid (often sold as Deca‑Durabolin or Aldo‑Durex). |
These three drugs are the most commonly referenced "anabolic steroids" in the context of doping, bodybuilding, and illicit performance enhancement. They are typically the focus of drug‑testing programs and discussions about steroid abuse.
