5.0 out of 5 stars The public deserves the facts, this book gives you the facts, May 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Smart Guide to Andro: The Safe and Natural Testosterone Precursor for Sex and Athletic Enhancement (Paperback)

This book makes an important contribution toward dispelling the media-driven myths, and revealing the scientific truth about androstenedione. In an easy-to-read format, with research-based evidence, it supplies practical information on the use of this testosterone precursor, including its health benefits for both men and women. It also warns, responsibly, against its use by young people, for whom it will not only not have the desired effects, but can be damaging. The public deserves to know the facts, and this book does the job.

2.0 out of 5 stars Androstendione is passe, July 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Smart Guide to Andro: The Safe and Natural Testosterone Precursor for Sex and Athletic Enhancement (Paperback)

As a bodybuilder who is very much informed about pro-hormones and other supplements, I have to mention that androstendione has fallen into disfavor.

The hype about the product has proved to be just that -- hype.
The supplement has largely been replaced by androdiol -- a more potent and more effective substance, and norandrodiol. The better pro-hormone products contain a combination of both "diols."

Newer products are emerging from supplement makers: topical andro and norandro sprays, and 1-AD, among others.

Unfortunately, information on this subject seems to get outdated quickly, and we may eventually learn that even these newer products are not as good as their promoters say they are.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is trying to state facts about androstenedione ..., May 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Smart Guide to Andro: The Safe and Natural Testosterone Precursor for Sex and Athletic Enhancement (Paperback)

This book is trying to state actual facts about androstenedione and the way it works, its potential benefits and risks. However, I recommend not using this book as the only source of information. I consider this book a very good summary, for more details seek other sources.
