HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Androdiol 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.

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.

Androdiol contains 2 active ingredients. The main one, 4-Androstene-3b-ol, 17-one Decanoate, is a prohormone—a compound your body is supposed to convert into testosterone and related androgens.

The other active ingredient is 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin Acetate, which we don't have detailed information on. The product has no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: muscle building and testosterone support.
  • We looked for evidence on: strength, athletic performance, lean muscle gain.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for either ingredient in Androdiol, so the evidence for whether it actually works as intended isn't established in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 4-androsterone

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 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.

Prohormones like the ones in this product can disrupt your hormone balance, put stress on your liver, and change your cholesterol levels—and how safe they really are hasn't been well studied. Do not use during pregnancy; androgenic hormones can harm a developing baby.

Breastfeeding isn't safe either; we don't know how these hormonal effects would reach a nursing infant or what they might do. There's concern that 4-androsterone could theoretically cause serious side effects similar to anabolic steroids, including stroke, kidney failure, and liver injury, though specific adverse effect data is limited.

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 — 4-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 medications or products, check with your pharmacist before using Androdiol—the combination could raise levels dangerously high and strain your cardiovascular system, kidneys, and liver.

Androdiol by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals: Common Questions

Does Androdiol by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Androdiol has a known interaction with 8 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Androdiol contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take Androdiol if I'm on testosterone therapy?
No—combining them is documented as a Moderate interaction risk. Taking both could increase testosterone to unsafe levels and cause mood changes, heart problems, or kidney and liver strain. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product.
Is Androdiol safe during pregnancy?
No. Androgenic hormones can harm a developing baby, so the safety data advises against use during pregnancy. If you're planning to get pregnant or think you might be, don't use this product.
Is it safe to take while breastfeeding?
No. We don't know how the hormonal effects reach a nursing infant or what damage they might cause, and the safety data advises against it. Avoid this product while breastfeeding.
What does 4-Androstene-3b-ol, 17-one Decanoate do?
It's a prohormone meant to convert into testosterone and related androgens in your body. That's the theory—we don't have solid effectiveness data confirming it actually works that way.
What are the possible side effects?
Specific side effect data is limited, but because 4-androsterone is thought to convert to anabolic compounds, there's concern it could cause serious steroid-like effects: stroke, kidney failure, and liver injury. More broadly, prohormones can disrupt hormones, strain the liver, and change cholesterol.
