Yes, some are still legal. There are some that are legal and can actually be considered supplements and some that are just "grey area" unbanned steroids. I will list most of them below, to the best of my memory:

Legal prohormones considered supplements:

Delta-2-androst-17-one

androsterone

1-androsterone

4-androsterone

Legal hormonal considered supplements (may be anti-estrogenic or anti-cortisol)

Androst-3,5-dien-7,17-dione

7-Keto DHEA

7-OH DHEA

andrenosterone AKA 11-ketoandrostenedione

11-ketotestosterone

"grey market steroids"

2a-3a-epithio-17a-methyl-5a-androstan-17b-ol

2a, 17a-dimethyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-etiocholan -3-one

4-chloro-17a-methyl-4-ene-3,17 diol

4-chloro-17a-methyl-1,4-diene-3,17 diol

[3,2-c]pyrazole-5alpha-etioallocholane-17beta-tetrahydropyranol

13-ethyl-3methoxygona-2, 5(10)-dien-17-one

17a-methyl-1,4-Androstadiene-3,17diol

The legality of prohormones depends on the country and specific substances involved. In some countries, certain types of prohormones may be legal, while others are not. It is important to research and understand the laws and regulations in your specific region before purchasing or using prohormones.

Vitamin D is a class of prohormones that is used by animals to make steroidal hormones. Plants do not need these compounds.


Does tribulus terrestris only produce testosterone or does it also produce estrogen and dht like prohormones do?

Tribulus stimulates the production of luteinizing hormone. This in turn increases production of testosterone. Small amounts of Testosterone are converted to estrogen via the aromatase enzyme. So Tribulus may increase estrogen as well. DHT prohormones do not convert to estrogen. There are many other non DHT prohormones that do not convert to estrogen as well. Delta-2-androst-17-one and 4-chloro-17a-methyl-androst-1,4-diene-3b,17b-diol are two common non-aromatizing AKA non estrogenic compounds.


Can legal steroids be abused?

Yes. Legal steroids of all kinds are abused. The term "legal steroids" commonly refers to the non-prescription and unregulated products that are being used within the bodybuilding community. These "legal steroids" are designed for bodybuilders and very serious athletes to offer similar anabolic-like effects, with minimal side effects. Most of them are simply molecularly modified versions from the original anabolic component or they contain concentrated amount of prohormones, precursors or other growth promotants. These legal steroids can be safe when used as directed, however athletes find that taking more than the recommended dose will drasctically increase the rate of muscle gain. At higher doses(NOT RECOMMENDED), gains of up to 20 lbs of bodyweight in 1 month have been reported.


What is a legal steroid?

Legal steroids has 2 modern definitions: Either they are steroids obtained through a doctors prescription for a legitimate medical use, or the term is used in reference to the muscular enhancement products that bodybuilders today are using.The classification "Legal Steroids" is used to define the purpose or intent of the product.The products are legal because they usually contain a "clone" ,imitation of the original anabolic steroids, but since the molecular structure is not identical, it is not classified as an illegal product. Some are prohormones that are not yet on the banned list. Some legal steroids will also contain a blend of concentrated products known in te chemistry community to have anabolic like effects. These products can usually remain on the market for up to 18 months before FDA laws can make modifications to existing laws in order to ban the product.

How does vitamin d suppress pth?

Journal of Molecular Endocrinology (2011) 4663-66    © 2011 Society for EndocrinologyDirect suppression of Pth gene expression by the vitamin D prohormones doxercalciferol and calcidiol requires the vitamin D receptorCynthia S Ritter and Alex J BrownRenal Division, Washington University School of Medicine, PO Box 8126, 660 South Euclid, St Louis, Missouri 63110, USAVitamin D compounds regulate PTH at the transcriptional level, presumably via binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR), but the exact mechanism is presently unclear. We recently reported that the several vitamin D prohormones with low VDR affinity suppressed PTH, even when their activation was inhibited, raising the possibility that their actions may be VDR independent. To test this hypothesis, we developed a novel organ culture that allowed the assessment of activities of the prohormones on PTH release from wild-type and VDR-null thyroparathyroid explants. The cultures remained viable with respect to PTH release for at least 2 weeks. Full suppression of PTH by the native vitamin D hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25 (OH)2D3], required 2 days, consistent with a transcriptional mechanism, and was reversible, indicating that reduced PTH was not attributable to cell death. Inhibition of PTH release by 1,25 (OH)2D3 and two prohormones, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1-hydroxyvitamin D2, was observed in explants from wild-type mice but not in those from VDR-null mice. These findings 1) are the first direct demonstration of the role of the VDR in regulation of PTH by 1,25(OH)2D3, 2) confirm that the suppressive actions of the vitamin D prohormones are mediated by the VDR, and 3) introduce a novel organ culture model that allows the ex vivo study of the function of parathyroid glands from transgenic animals.
