4-Andro

4-Andro is another synthetic non-methylated prohormone but with a distinct metabolic fate that makes it complementary to 1-Andro. Recall that 1-Andro does not convert to estrogen or DHT. While that is certainly a benefit, it also means you need to take something else to help balance the ratio of steroid hormones in the body. This is precisely why 4-Andro is a perfect adjunct to 1-Andro. 4-Andro is initially converted to 4-androstenediol and then testosterone, in a somewhat similar fashion as 5-DHEA. However, 4-Andro is suggested to be better for muscle gains, and strength building than 5-DHEA since the conversion from 4-androstenediol to testosterone happens at a greater rate. As such, 4-Andro can be converted into small amounts of estrogen and DHT, thereby helping balance the effects of 1-Andro. In other words, the anabolic properties of 4-Andro kick in quicker than they do from normal DHEA supplements. Increasing testosterone levels is well-known to provide a myriad of benefits, incl
