#4TRT is now a fully embedded thing in the United States so this isn't totally surprising.
I've talked to way too many 20 year olds who get cypionate from a doc in the box who manages to find "low T"
It's just so easy now. And if you need it, great. But for a lot of people it's just a way to boost T for athletic/aesthetic reasons without a ton of attention to the health side of it.
The risks are generally low, but boosting to higher T levels does come with real health risks that should be met with regular testing with a doctor.

#8Yes, glucocorticoids are extremely effective in the treatment of respiratory inflammation diseases such as asthma and copd. I'm genuinely surprized this number isn't higher.
Update: Whoops. Apparently, the submitter neglected to mention "anabolic" in the title. That's a pretty glaring omission.

#9I'm surprised it isn't even higher. TikTok is full of zoomers who haven't even turned 18 yet, and they're already abusing steroids and SARMs.
EDIT: I just remembered this article:
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/24/why-ther...
> But more surprising was the amount of hordenine and ostarine – described by the programme-makers as often being found in gym supplements, which made up more than half of the pharmaceuticals found.
Ostarine is a SARM, and supposedly there was more of that than cocaine or MDMA residue in a London sewer "fatberg."

#10For context, that works out to roughly three quarters of a percent or so of the whole population of the UK.
