Girls Use Steroids To Get ‘Toned’ Look

Expert Says Girls’ Use Of Steroids At All-Time High

TRENTON, N.J.— An alarming number of American girls, some as young as 9, are using bodybuilding steroids—not necessarily to get an edge on the playing field, but to get the toned, sculpted look of models and movie stars, experts say.

Girls are getting their hands on the same dangerous testosterone pills, shots and creams that have created a scandal in major league baseball and other sports. Often, these are the same girls who have eating disorders, according to some research.

“There’s been a substantial increase for girls during the 1990s, and it’s at an all-time high right now,” said Charles Yesalis, a professor of health and human development at Pennsylvania State University.

Lloyd Johnston, a University of Michigan professor who heads an annual government-sponsored survey on risky behavior by young people, said: “Other than pedophilia, this is the most secret behavior I’ve ever encountered.”

Overall, up to about 5 percent of high school girls and 7 percent of middle-school girls admit trying anabolic steroids at least once, with use of rising steadily since 1991, various government and university studies have shown.

Researchers say that most girls are using steroids to get bigger and stronger on the playing field, and they attribute some of the increase in steroid use to girls’ rising participation in sports. But plenty of other girls are using steroids to give themselves a slightly muscular look, they say.

“With young women, you see them using it more as a weight control and body fat reduction” method, said Jeff Hoerger, who runs the staff counseling program at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

In the past couple of years, he has helped two young women using steroids—one an 11th-grader with “an average figure” whose swimmer friend suggested steroids would help with weight loss. “She was just looking for quick results,” Hoerger said.

The sports medicine division at the Oregon Health and Science University found that two-thirds of Oregon high school girls who admitted using steroids were not athletes and that girls who were considering taking steroids had tried other, risky ways to get thin.

“They were more likely to have eating disorders and to abuse diuretics, amphetamines and laxatives,” said Dr. Linn Goldberg, head of the division.

In teenage girls, the side effects from taking male sex hormones can include severe acne, smaller breasts, deeper voice, irregular periods, excess facial and body hair, depression, paranoia and the fits of anger dubbed “roid rage.” Steroids also carry higher risks of heart attack, stroke and some forms of cancer.

Researchers say youngsters generally get illegal anabolic steroids on the black market from relatives or friends, from the local gym and over the Internet. At least one study indicates some parents and coaches supply steroids to teen athletes.

Dr. Eric Small, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ committee on sports medicine, said adults should gently ask youngsters about possible steroid use.

“Talking about supplements and steroids needs to start in the third grade,” Small said. “If you wait till ninth grade, it’s too late.”

What You Don't Know About Creatine Can Hurt You!

The most likely reson for this is that stomach acid destroys creatine, it has been estimated that as much as 66% of the creatine you take is never absorbed. So, once creatine hits the acid in your stomach, the amount that is getting to your muscles is a lot less then you think you are getting.

The biggest problem with creatine monohydrate has been, to be effective, it must first get into muscle. To do this it must pass through the stomach, enter the bloodstream, and be taken up by the muscle cell.

Many have tryed to get around this problem by taking mega-doses of creatine. They took too much, thinking that if a little bit was good then a lot would be better. These high doses do not translate into higher creatine levels in your muscle. Instead, they may be the very cause of the side effects, including intestinal cramping, diarrhea, increased urination, and dehydration. When these high doses of powder enter the stomach they draw water from the body, causing the intestines to contract.

Next people mixed their creatine with grape juice to try to get better results, but since juice is also acidic it destroys some of the creatine. Companies have attempted to develop new ways to deliver creatine to the body, such as adding sugar, which enters the blood stream faster than any other carbohydrate. Insulin drives creatine from the blood into the muscle. In order to get insulin levels up you must eat some carbohydrates. However, this stimulates stomach acid which destroys the creatine. Plus the super high amounts of sugar used by some companies can add unwanted fat to your waist line.

The problem is that all creatine powders and even liquids must pass through stomach acid and lose most of their potency and lead to unwanted side affects, stomach aches, etc. Plus some of them have as much as 75 grams of sugar per dose, that much sugar can lead to health problems and getting fat.

When creatine supplements were tested after activation with fluid, a disturbing discovery was made. It was found that almost immediately after adding water to creatine monohydrate that the majority of it rapidly converted to the toxic by-product creatinine. This held true no matter how "unique" the formulation was claimed to be, or the purity of the assayed dry creatine content.

In the past, some companies pointed to the virtual lack of creatinine in their powders, calling them "creatinine free". What was not considered is that the tests were conducted with dry creatine monohydrate. Once fluid is introduced, creatinine conversion occurs.

A number of negative side-effects can arise from increased creatinine levels, among them; stomach cramps and bloating, diarrhea, indemia, water retention, dehydration, headaches, liver and kidney problems and creatinine poisoning. These side-effects are caused by the body's internal self-defense mechanism reacting to save itself from the ingested toxins by diluting it with water.

How do you bypass this problem? Kre-Alkalyn® Creatine - Awarded U.S. Patent #6,399,661 for the successful and novel method of keeping creatine monohydrate stable and completely free of toxic conversion. With this new patent process the main problem with all existing creatine supplements, the inability to deliver concentrated amounts of creatine without toxic conversion, was solved. Since Kre-Alkalyn® Buffered Creatine is free of unwanted creatinine conversion following liquid activation, it puts an end to the days of having to saturate your body with huge ten to twenty gram amounts of creatine monohydrate to get the desired strength, endurance and muscle building effects. More concisely, Kre-Alkalyn® allows you to safely consume creatine, to full and most potent effect, with only a fraction of previous dosages.

Introducing The World's Only
100% Absorption Creatine for Maximum Results!
Mixed With Potent Cell Volumizers!
Patented Buffered Creatine
Monohydrate Kre-Alkalyn® PUMPED EXTREME!

Truly Huge Supplements PUMPED EXTREME Kre-Alkalyn® Complex features the patented Kre-Alkalyn® in a pharmaceutical delivery system providing maximum stability and absorption. Creatine Monohydrate has been proven through a decade and more of research to enhance strength, endurance, and subsequent athletic performance. The disadvantage of traditional Creatine Monohydrate is the extremely short term, rapid conversion into the bi-product Creatinine which when exposed to liquid, results in subsequent poor absorption into the bloodstream.

Since the first creatine product was introduced, we have seen many different delivery systems, all of which claim to be the best. All of these methods were established to increase the amount of creatine your body will absorb before the creatine is converted to Creatinine. However, what you are not being told is that you're actually only absorbing 20-30% of the creatine before it is converted to Creatinine. Kre-Alkalyn® PUMPED EXTREME, which is PH buffered for maximum absorption and stability, solves this dilemma.

Available for the first time, Kre-Alkalyn® PUMPED EXTREME offers the athlete a Creatine formula which is 100% stable and will not break down into Creatinine. This allows the Creatine to be absorbed more efficiently into the bloodstream. Kre-Alkalyn® PUMPED EXTREME allows an athlete to take far less product while experiencing even more explosive results.

Steroids And Supplements

Difference Between Steroids And Supplements

Anabolic steroids are synthetic variants of testosterone: a masculine-type hormone produced naturally in the body, by both men and women. Supplements that are considered "Anabolic", are commonly deceitful, and sell as gimmick products. Non Anabolic Steroid supplements are successful, popular products, that only contain nutrients or other natural chemicals that generally adhere to the same processes and objectives as true anabolic steroids but in safer way. Nevertheless, despite the marketing method, some supplements can offer good results but don't have the side effects of illegal anabolic stroids.

Determining bodybuilding supplements from the anabolic streoids and unhealthy, high-risk health alternatives can be rather difficult. Generally both types of supplements list a nutritional chart indicating ingredients, nutrients, and chemicals within. There are liquid supplement mixtures which present the same information. True anabolic steroids are offered on the black market and find their way into the hands of many bodybuilders every year.

Anything containing Anadrol (Testosterone), Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin), Stanozolol (Winstrol), Oxandrin (Oxandrolone) and Nandrolone (Durabolin) is an authentic anabolic steroid, scientifically designed for increasing lean muscle mass; by physically replacing the work of the bodies natural testosterone production at a quicker rate; it can heal damaged muscle tissue faster, and produce greater physical results in which training and stamina have proven most effective. A beneficial penultimate option is to look for ingredients with the suffix "in", "one", or "ol", at the end each individual ingredient name -consulting a physician is always the safest option if you still have much doubt.

Additionally, studies have proven several bodybuilding supplements can be deemed safe as non-anabolic steroids that may still be called, "anabolic". These products have many names; the most common nutritional names and terms related to non-anabolic supplements are Creatine, Amino Acids, L-Glutamine, Methoxyisoflavone andEcdysterone, and Nitric Oxide. With the exception to the rest, Nitric Oxide solely increases flow through the bloodstream delivering to muscles more nutrients and tissues needing oxygen and repair, making it popular, but it is not necessarily considered non anabolic, just an added boost to naturally occurring gas.

In conclusion, always read the labels to any product claiming the title or benefits, "anabolic". Never start an anabolic steroid regiment, non-anabolic steroid labeled product, or bodybuilding supplement from an unknown source. Always save the receipt then look for additional product information phone numbers or websites on the product(s) package. Any supplement promising faster muscle mass, stamina improvement, or increases in lean muscle mass through hormonal intervention should be examined carefully.
