When the computer went to the site about steroids, I thought this site might be useful to question. It had many topics such as the general health on steroids, growth and development of the body as you use them, and pregnancy and newborns if you are a women who use them. As I read more into the site, it had an article about sports supplements drugs and how they came in various forms such as vitamins, synthetic(manmade) drugs, and hormone. For instance, if you take anabolic steroids which are found in the hormones, you may start to get some serious side effects such as high blood pressure, heart disease, liver damage, urinary problems, aggressive behavior, and severe mood swings. If you ask me, by looking at this website, I don't see how people could take use steroids especially knowing the consequences if you get caught. Another popular steroid that many teens know about is creatine. Teens think that they will gain an advantage over other athletes by taking this, but little do they know that creatine that in this website it shows that creatine is already manufactured in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Creatine is found in many forms such as pills powder, or gel form. Teens who use it may be vulnerable to weight gain, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and dehydraion. By looking at this website, I now know a little more about the effects and various forms of the drug. But I would still like to know in detail into what drives that person to really use steroids.
