3 William Llewellyn's ANABOLICS, 9th ed. Preface ANABOLICS is a reference manual of drug compounds used to enhance body composition, strength, and/or athletic performance. This book includes an extensive review of the history, global availability, and application of anabolic/androgenic steroids, as well as related performance-enhancing drugs such as human growth hormone, insulin, anti-estrogens, diuretics, reductase inhibitors, and fat loss ("cutting") agents. The core focus of ANABOLICS is to provide a nonbiased and comprehensive review of the current medical science surrounding these drugs, as well as the practical (often nonmedical) protocols in which they are used by bodybuilders and athletes.the effort ofthis book is always to help readers understand the potential risks of these drugs, in addition to their benefits. ANABOLICS is not intended to promote steroid or other drug use, but is designed to help readers, may they be physicians, patients, or illicit users, better understand these drugs, and make well-informed decisions about them. The 9th Edition of ANABOLICS took two years to complete, and is the most extensive reworking of this book since it was first released in This edition is a very important achievement to me personally, as it most closely represents my original vision for a comprehensive reference book. While I am certainly very proud of previous editions, I had always felt there were areas of the book in strong need of revision. A lot has been happening in anabolic science, and unfortunately time-sensitive information about steroid use and availability often took priority during updates over more general areas of information. With the 9th edition, I was finally able to conduct a full front-to-back rebuild of ANABOLICS. This includes an extensive, and I believe extremely important, rewriting of many fundamental sections of this book. I hope it will help readers better understand how steroids can affect the body, both positively and negatively, and perhaps even develop better strategies for minimizing risks. Regular readers will notice the latest edition includes updates and format changes in the following sections. Anabolic Overview (Par1.ll.; The steroid Side Effects section has been rewritten.the new expanded section includes an extensive review of the current state of research on the potential health and cosmetic side effects of anabolic/androgenic steroid use. More than 200 medical citations are included. A new section called Clinical Applications reviews the extensive legitimate medical uses for anabolic/androgenic steroids. Common medical administration protocols are also outlined. Practical Application (Part Ill: The Steroid Cycles and Sample Cycles sections have been rewritten. They now include a return to fundamental steroid use and stacking protocols. Special emphasis is placed on minimizing adverse reactions and health risks with the intelligent assembly of cycles. A Frequently Asked Questions section has been added to address some of the most basic questions about steroid safety and efficacy. Safer Use Guidelines have been provided, which outline effective strategies for helping to reduce the short-term and longterm health risks of nonmedical anabolic/androgenic steroid use. A chapter on Understanding Blood Tests covers one of the most important preventative practices for steroid users, namely examining individual health markers via blood testing. Includes strategies for using a series of basic tests to assess pre-use health status, on-cycle adverse health impact, and post-cycle metabolic recovery. The Underground Steroids section has been rewritten. Included are a series of testing results on a group of underground steroid products. An analysis of dosage, heavy metal contamination, oil purity, and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) purity is included, and highlight potential alarming trends in underground steroid quality. Drug Profiles (Part lin: In addition to updates concerning drug manufacture and global availability in the individual Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid Profiles, the Non-Steroid Profiles have been rewritten. Pertinent information such as product descriptions, structures, side effects, benefits, administration protocols, and availability has been organized in detailed sections so it can be more easily accessed. A new Cardiovascular Support sect,ion has been added, and includes products that can help protect the cardiovascular iii

Many dozens of new steroid preparations have been added, and numerous out of commerce steroids unlikely to be circulating have been removed. Photographic Database (Appendix B): The photographic database has been extensively expanded, and includes approximately 3,000 pictures of anabolic/androgenic steroids and other drugs. Nearly one third of all library pictures are new for the 9th edition. Legitimate pharmaceuticals are labeled and grouped by their country of manufacture. The following terms are used to identify the origin of individual drug products, and have changed slightly from previous editions. Real (or no specification other than country): These are legitimate pharmaceutical products that are distributed in pharmacies or veterinary clinics in the labeled country of origin. Real drugs offer the greatest assurance of product purity and safety, although production standards may vary by country or market (veterinary/human). Counterfeit (CF): This is an illicit duplicate of a real drug product and/or manufacturer.these items are of unknown quality and safety, often contain substitute or no steroid ingredients, and should never be knowingly consumed. Export (EX): These are drugs made by registered pharmaceutical companies, but are not licensed for sale in their country of origin. They must be exported. Export products should be made in legitimate pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, but depending on the region may not be made under the same close government supervision as locally distributed products. Underground (UG): These products are made from unlicensed illegal manufacturers specifically for sale on the black market. Given the completely unregulated nature of these drugs, they offer little assurance of quality, and are generally not recommended. In some instances the country of origin is identified for an underground product. This specifically indicates the drug may be sold in some domestic pharmacies and/or veterinary clinics, even though it is not legally registered for sale. Fake: This is an i,liicitly manufactured drug that purports to be a real pharmaceutical, but bears no relation to an actual product. Fake is a distinction that suggests all forms of the photographed steroid should be considered illegitimate. NLM: Indicates a drug that is No Longer Manufactured. This distinction is important because when NLM drugs are still found in active black market comm.erce they usually turn out to be illegitimate. Glossary: A glossary has been added, including explanations of some of the more common medical terms used throughout this book. iv
