Designer steroids, modified anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), are illicitly sold as supplements online despite known risks. Stricter regulations and better information policies are needed due to new compounds and legal loopholes.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Drug Enforcement
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are prevalent performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs).
  • Illicit marketing and distribution of AAS persist despite adverse effects and legal issues.
  • Designer steroids, chemically modified AAS, are sold as nutritional supplements online to bypass regulations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the prevalence and risks of designer steroids.
  • To address the lack of knowledge regarding the pharmacology and metabolism of unapproved steroids.
  • To advocate for improved regulations and information policies concerning these substances.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on designer steroid findings in supplements.
  • Analysis of detection of new compounds.
Keywords:
AASdesigner steroidsdietary supplementsperformance enhancing drugs.

  • Examination of legal loopholes in distribution.

    • Main Results:

    • Designer steroids are frequently found in dietary supplements.
    • New designer steroid compounds are continually being detected.
    • Existing legal frameworks are insufficient to control their distribution.

    Conclusions:

    • The prevalence of designer steroids in supplements necessitates urgent attention.
    • Further research into the effects and metabolism of these unapproved substances is crucial.
    • Stricter regulations and enhanced information policies are essential to combat the illicit trade and use of designer steroids.
