Ketosteroids and Supplements

[fodive]

If Osteobolin-C contains a keto-steroid (as do a lot of other supplements) how are they legal for sale?

After talking with Josh and doing a little research, if anabolic steroids are a type of keto-steroid, what exactly is the difference between them and whats offered in supplements - and what makes it more safe to use?

Vitruvian, what say you?

All I really know about ketosteroid is that it contains an keto group I also recall it having a part with DHEA.

Well ....... let me dig you up the full answer...........

Ok, you partially answered it yourself! While anabolic steroids may be ketosteroids, the opposite is not necessarily true.
I consulted with Dirk, AN's resident brilliant mastermind, and this is what he said:

Plant keto-steroids, at least in the case of cissus, are phytochemicals with steroidal characteristics- if you broke them down, you would indeed find some steroidal substances (androstene and a few others) in nominal amounts in the compound- the reason why it is so good at healing fractures lies at the root of this- some of the keto-steroids in cissus actually compete with glucocorticoids for receptor sites, making it anabolic/anti-catabolic.
