Androstenedione 
What is Androstenedione? 
Androstenedione is a natural chemical found in the body that produces testosterone. This
chemical can also be found naturally in some meat and even some plants. Androstenedione,
also called Andro, can boost testosterone levels when taken orally sometimes making the
person stronger. Andro was first seen in capsule form in the US in the 1990's. Its
popularity has grown ever since Mark McGwire, the new Major League Baseball home run
record holder, admitted to taking the supplement. The companies that are selling Andro
are making huge profits off the supplement that claims to increase lean muscle mass 300%.
Although most people who take the drug do not complain of any side effects at all, this
drug has been reported to carry dangerous side effects. Most Major League sports have
banned the supplement saying it gives athletes a unfair advantage. The NBA, the MLB, and
the NHL in the US have not ruled this supplement as unfair. There are many questions that
remain about this supplement such as the long-term side effects, and how much muscle is
gained by taking the drug. This supplement can be bought over the counter and is not
controlled by the FDA, making Andro easy to access. Some drug chains have taken this drug
off the shelf due to fear of long-term side effects. Andro can be found in some local
drug chains and also on the World Wide Web. One person from our poll explains, Andro's
advantages make up for the side effects. 
What about the health risk? 
Most of the health risks for Androstenedione are not known, and the long-term effects are
not known at all. 
? It might convert to the female hormone, estrogen in males and females. 
? Too much Andro can shut down the production of testosterone in the body. 
? In adolescents, it is known to stunt growth. 
How does Andro work? 
Andro is first consumed orally. It is then taken to the liver where it picks up two
carbons. The two carbons added to Andro are testosterone. Andro is also already made in
your body. The natural production of Andro is different. 
What about Baseball and Andro? 
For more than a year St. Louis Cardinals, power hitter Mark McGwire has taken the legal,
supplement Androstenedione. Many people believe that the drug gave him an unfair
advantage last year when he shattered Roger Maris's single season home run record. Mark
McGwire insists that the drug is legal and therefore should be a focal point in the
media. He said, Everything I've done is natural. Everybody that I know in the game of
baseball uses the same stuff I use. However, many other players have said that they would
never a drug as strong as in Andro in fear of secondary problems. Many of these same
players do not denounce McGwire for taking the drug. Mo Vaughn said, Anything illegal is
definitely wrong. But if you get something over the counter and legal, guys in the power
hitter position are going to use them. McGwire's use of the drug has brought it to the
forefront and now many people are taking the supplement hoping for McGwire's success.
Many of these people are teens participating in high school sports. Andro has different
side effects in adolescents. A lot is still not known about Andro such as the long-term
side effects. The FDA has no regulations against this supplement. This means that the FDA
has found that the supplement is safe and will not stop any one from selling Andro unless
they can prove that it is dangerous. This drug varies in side effects from person to
person. One proven fact is that too much of any drug taken at one time it can cause
dangerous side effects. In addition, it is still not known if the drug might turn into
estrogen in the body. The people who are taking Andro range from 18yrs old to 30yrs old.
