What is Anabolics Extreme

[motof]

I just heard of another supplement, Anabolics Extreme and was wondering what it is and what it does?

Has anyone tried it before?

Anabolic Extreme is a prohormone. Prohormone -

A prohormone is a substance that is a precursor to a hormone, usually having minimal hormonal effect by itself. The term has been used in medical science since the middle of the 20th century. Examples of natural, human prohormones include proinsulin and pro-opiomelanocortin. The conversion process from prohormone to hormone is typically a single step, and a location for regulatory control.
In the last two decades, prohormone has also been used in the subculture of bodybuilding, athletic, and nonmedical use of anabolic steroids and other hormones to refer to a product sold with the expectation of conversion in the buyers' body to an active hormone. Some of this use of the term involves fraud and deceit of various types: the marketer often intends the buyer to assume this product will provide the putative benefits of taking an anabolic steroid without the legal or medical risks, while the buyer often intends to represent himself to others as having achieving the hoped-for benefits or advantages without use of a forbidden drug. A third dimension of potential deceit involves their legal classification: most "prohormones" are sold as dietary supplements to avoid the much tighter efficacy and safety requirements of the Food and Drug Administration which apply to prescription hormones.
A typical prohormone is marketed to the consumer as a precursor of an anabolic steroid like testosterone, which is taken in order to boost the body’s available hormone supply. These precursors are intended to be converted to full, active hormones via an enzymatic process that occurs during metabolism, typically resulting in the addition of whichever atoms happen to be missing from the chemical structure of the compound.
The use of prohormones has become popular among bodybuilders, since the effects can be similar (though normally much less drastic) to those achieved through the use of synthetic steroids, including gains in muscular strength and growth of lean muscle mass. There are currently many companies manufacturing prohormone products for this purpose.
Prohormones are legally sold in most parts of the world and are classified in the United States by the FDA as dietary supplements because they consist of compounds that occur naturally in the human body; however their use remains quite controversial and side effects are not uncommon. To date most prohormone products have not been thoroughly studied, and the health effects of prolonged use are mostly unknown.
On October 22nd, 2004, President Bush signed into law the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 (S.2195). The bill was written to become effective in 90 days, which as of this writing would appear to be January 20, 2005. This new legislation places both anabolic steroids and prohormones on a list of controlled substances (a new type of "regulatory control").

Pretty much I would say that if you are thinking about taking AE that you do some research on PCT(Post Cycle Treatment) and what is an ideal way to take the supplement. Also make sure your diet is in CHECK before any supplements are taken, DIET is key.
"without a solid diet gains will not be to their full potential, even with the use of supplements." -Me. ALSO if you are under 22 I wouldn't suggest taking any supplements that mess with natural hormone production.

it is a brand, not a product. AX used to offer many different forms of PHs and PSs that are now illegal. Mess with your natural hormonal systems before they're fully developed, and you will get 'hucked....

Prohormones taken before a person's endocronogical sytem is fully developed can cause serious side effects, some not appearing till years after use.

Loss of libido, gynocomastia, serious joint/tendon/ligament damage, are only a few of the effects they can have on a young body.
