HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 1-AD Anabolic Agent by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients. The first is 1-Androstene-3b-ol,17-one Decanoate (a prohormone form of 1-androsterone), which your body converts into testosterone and related male hormones.

The second is 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin Acetate. There are no inactive fillers or binders in this formulation.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: muscle gains and athletic performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, muscle strength, body composition, lean mass.
  • The closest evidence on file: 1-androsterone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).

The data we hold doesn't establish that 1-androsterone reliably improves athletic performance — the evidence rating is insufficient. We have no effectiveness information on file for the second ingredient.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 0 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

1-Androsterone carries real health risks with limited safety testing. In short-term studies, it's been linked to changes in cholesterol (LDL up, HDL down), rises in a kidney marker called creatinine, and drops in kidney function that suggested early kidney impairment — though creatinine levels stayed within the normal range.

The most common reported side effects are abnormal cholesterol (dyslipidemia), elevated liver enzymes (transaminitis), and reduced kidney function. Because it's a hormone-altering compound, avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — the hormonal risks to a baby aren't known.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — 1-androsterone.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 8 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take testosterone or testosterone replacement therapy, talk to your pharmacist before adding this product — the Moderate interaction risk includes mood disturbances and cardiovascular, kidney, or liver problems.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This is a hormonal supplement with real health risks and scant safety testing. It's not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

If you take testosterone or any other medications, check them against this product first with your pharmacist before you start.

Will this help me build muscle or improve athletic performance?
We don't have reliable evidence that it does. The data we hold rates the evidence for athletic performance as insufficient.
What are the most common side effects?
Studies have reported abnormal cholesterol levels, elevated liver enzymes, and reduced kidney function. One short-term study saw LDL cholesterol rise about 29 mg/dL and HDL drop about 19 mg/dL, and kidney function declined even though creatinine stayed in the normal range.
