No prohormones are different. I know that hormones are sometimes used for medical purposes but that they don't do anything for people who are training. For example.. if someone was being given testosterone because of a medical problem that they wouldn't actually experience the effets that "roids" have on bodybuilders. So if that's the question then, no. Again, prohormones are drugs that are made to stimulate muscle growth for bodybuilding purposes. They are basically steroids that are legal because they aren't anabolic steroids. Of course, just because they are legal.. doesn't mean that they are church-approved. So that's my question. More information about prohormones can be found on wikipedia.. Prohormone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm wondering what the church's views on Prohormones (otherwise known as 'legalized steroids'). I've heard of Mormon athletes and weight-lifters that take prohormones because they aren't categorized as anabolic steroids. Anyway, I am also a weight-lifter that is looking to increase my size but I prefer to build muscle the natural way. I really don't intend to use them since I'm a worthy church member and I feel like that would be too close to breaking the word of wisdom for my comfort. Bottom line, I'm not going to take them but I am curious to know what the church's standpoint is on prohormones. So far I can't find any direct references between the church and prohormones.
