Oral Steroids Effects

Oral steroids are preferred by athletes who want to achieve quick results. The reason is that oral steroids are in ready form and since they are consumed, they instantly go within the first-pass metabolism process and enter the bloodstream to activate their anabolic steroids effects.

Injectable steroids differ from oral steroids, especially those that contain esters, cannot be assimilated by the body because the ester chain should be cut off at start by hepatic enzymes before they can be active.

Another plus of oral steroids is that they are short half-lives, which means their metabolites are not remaining in the system for a long time. This property of oral steroids makes them to be chosen by most bodybuilders who undergo anti-doping screening. The most preferred and most popular oral steroids are Dianabol, Anavar, Anadrol, Anapolon and Winstrol Tablets.

Oral steroids, can have some side effects for athletes. One of the most common complaints with oral steroids is that they are stressful to the liver, specially those which are c-17 alpha-alkylated. The 17 alkylation is attached to improve the bio availability of oral steroids. Without this chemical alteration, steroids may not be able to survive the first pass metabolism of the liver, and thus may not be able to execute their anabolic steroids effects.

The liver fulfills important and vital functions in the body, including storage of useful and important nutrients like glycogen and clearance of waste products. Oral steroids can negatively affect the liver's ability to carry out these functions.
