I don’t think it can – it’s 5a-reduced – but I’ll defer to the biochemists. What I can say is that it melts fat and grows muscle, no dieting or exercise needed.is androsterone easily converted to estrogen?
The body can use any tissue as energy storage, not just fat. When there is excess energy input (calories), what tissue will the body use to store it? When there is an energy shortage, what tissue will the body use to pull it from? (I believe this is called “caloric partitioning”.)
Normally the body will store excess energy as fat and keep it there when there is a shortage, drawing it instead from muscle, connective tissue, and the organs. With androsterone this is reversed and excess energy is stored in muscle and organ tissue and, when there is a shortage, it is pulled from fat.
Does it affect hair? I haven’t noticed anything but maybe @Velve921 can chime in on that since he’s been doing it for more than 10 times as long as I have. But hair loss is an esthetic issue. Pete Rose once said about Mike Schmidt, “To have his body, I’d trade him mine and my wife’s, and I’d throw in some cash.” I feel the same way about androsterone. I’d give up every hair on my head and a few toes too. It’s muscle in a pill. Plus fat loss. And it’s cheap as dirt. And I feel great, my back is better (it actually feels cured but time will tell), and my knees are better.
Weight training also grows muscle, of course. What I suspect is that regularly working a muscle down-regulates the GR, which would make physiological sense, but it probably down-regulates it in that muscle only. From the body’s perspective, apparently that muscle must be pretty damn important, so take the energy from other places. But note that if you work only the upper body you’ll get a light bulb physique. With androsterone, every muscle – and tendon, and fascia, and organ, plus probably bone – is spared. Therefore it may be that you get the best proportions by NOT working out, but by just taking androsterone.
Maybe it doesn’t work this well for everyone. I also use a little DHP, pregnenolone, DHEA, and progesterone, and I supplement vitamins and minerals, and I eat sensibly. But all that stuff didn’t make this kind of difference. For me androsterone was the sine qua non, and I’d bet that virtually everyone would benefit from it.
