Theres a shitload of different steroids and different dosage protocols.
Some are minimal risk, some will fuck your shit up in the name of gains.

Something simple like 200mg test per week is pretty harmless if your lifestyle is otherwise healthy.

Yes, but not as dangerous as normies think. Make sure you get your blood tested (privatemdlabs) before during and after using. Watch blood pressure and cholesterol. You'll turn into a little bitch for a few weeks after cycling off. They also slightly decrease IQ, and can cause gyno, hair loss, etc.

t. mediocre lifter who's taking steroids

WTF is wrong with you!!! Long term use will fuck you up!!! Had a teammate that was on year round, only added to it to bulk and get stronger, stayed on a small light cycle yr round..now he's on a colostomy bag for life, kidneys, liver damage not to mention the mental damage it has done to him...how old are u? Go natural as long as possible, maybe a small cycle every once in a while but with today's supplements and correct diet you can get great ...ut choice

That teammate got drafted by the Saints then traded to the 49ers...
He's healthy now but on a bag..so be careful and get checked often...like the post above states...not bad if you watch what you take and get check up before and after....YEAH, I've done my share of gear.....

ZMA supplement supposedly increases testosterone. Is this indirectly considered a steroid? Is it safe?

Has anyone heard of or taken SeroVital- ugh?

No. For something to be classed as a steroid it has to have a specific molecular structure. All anabolic steroids are basically testosterone with one or a couple of differences in molecular structure.

ZMA is perfectly safe, it will only increase test if your test level was deficient. It won't give you a noticeable increase in muscle gains at all though.

boy just fucking neck yourself

Not OP but do test supplements work or are they just a placebo?

Depends on the ingredients and testosterone deficiency of the user. Most are only good for hypogonadic men, if you're young it won't do shit.

>if you're young it wont do shit

Well fuck. I'm 26 and thought I could rake in some more gains with extra test. Guess not.
