which supplement can i take thats like a steriod?

Question

Are there any supplements that will give anabolic-steriod like results?

Answer 1

Steroid supplement?: Steroid refers to the chemical structure. All steroids start from the cholesterol structure, which is the basic steroid structure. I imagine you must be asking about supplements that act like testosterone, but can't be sure. I'd be happy to clarify my answer if you give me more specific information.

Answer 2

Yes, OTC anitfungals: Vicks might work on nails but is not a good treatment for other fungal infections, especially if it is in the genital area-ouch! several over-the-counter (otc) preparations are available. Just follow the directions on the package. Some preparations are for symptom relief only but the infection will continue. If not sure what the rash is, or if it doesn't improve, see your doctor.

Answer 3

Toenail fungal infection is a resistant problem. Antifungals potent enough to help should be avoided in pregnancy. There is a safe means of getting rid of the problem but you need patience. Soak your feet nightly in a solution of 2 quarts of warm water and half a cup of ordinary clorox. After 6 months, when the new nail growth is complete, the problem will be gone. Seems a long time, but it works.

Answer 4

PreSurgical meds: I am not a surgeon, but i know you should avoid Aspirin or products containing aspirin. This would include alka selzer, b c powders, pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) as well as other preparations. These substances act as blood thinners and increase bleeding complications. Ginkgo biloba can have similar affects. Be sure and check with your surgeon, they probably have a list of what to avoid. Good luck.

Answer 5

Maybe - B12, vit K: A fiber supplement or laxative (miralax), can help regulate the thickness of your stools. You may need to supplement vitamin k. No ileum? You may need help with b12. As long as most of your small bowel is still intact, a general multivitamin is likely adequate. Ask your doctor to check vitamin levels once a year with a simple blood test. The doctor who knows your anatomy can help!

Answer 6

Yes: Folate (folic acid) should be supplemented due to the loss of some terminal ileum

Answer 7

Helping your body: The 'supplements' only assist your body in helping it function better. Only you can help that along.

Answer 8

Antioxidant: Aging is a complex issue still not fully understood. But free radical damage is certainly part of the picture. Antioxidants help protect against free radical damage. Best to reduce exposure: oils high in polyunsaturated fat (soy, canola, corn, etc) produce toxic lipid peroxides when cooked with.. Avoid them. Cook with coconut oil.

Answer 9

Aging -Supplements: Yes. Along with a healty life style adding good supplements of vitamins and minerals can be very helpful. The safest are vitamins derived from real food. Take enough vitamin D3 to keep your blood levels at an optimum of around 60. Avoid iron supplements which can be harmful.

Answer 10

Anti-aging: Some studies have been done on coq10, ta-65 (telomerase activation), but results vary.

Answer 11

Captain Bleye?: I wouldn't worry. You could have a headache at least as long as you have that black eye. You probably had/have a small localized concussion in that area but it will eventually settle down. It's hard to predict how long but rest assured it will go away---as long as you don't re-injure yourself. Of course, if it starts to get worse then get an exam.

Answer 12

U probably had a--: -mild concussion, & post concussion head achs R common. Also with no fracture there is bone bruising, and where you were hit takes sometimes up to 6 wks 2 heal, yho you should see improvement much sooner but if touched there it will be sore.
