Androstenediol Overview

Androstenediol Androstenediol is a naturally occurring steroid hormone in the body that serves as a precursor to testosterone and other androgens. It is classified as a prohormone and a weak anabolic steroid. Androstenediol is sometimes used in dietary supplements for its purported effects on increasing testosterone levels and enhancing athletic performance, although its effectiveness and safety for these purposes are not well-established. In the United States, androstenediol is listed as a Schedule III controlled substance, meaning it has a potential for abuse and dependence. It is also banned by organizations like the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for use in sports competitions.
