Uses & Effectiveness

Overview

Androsterone is a type of chemical known as an anabolic steroid. It is converted in the body to testosterone and other sex hormones. In the U.S., it is illegal to include anabolic steroids in supplement products. These chemicals are also banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

Androsterone is used for weight loss, to improve athletic performance, to reduce sexual problems, and for many other uses, but there is no good scientific evidence to support its use. Androsterone might also be unsafe.

Androsterone is a steroid hormone found in both males and females, but it is predominantly produced in males. It is known to have a unique aroma and has been found to be attractive to females, suggesting that it may play a role in human pheromone communication.
