Alcohol and Prohormones

Alcohol and Prohormones

Now I would like to point out that likely if you’re this concerned about how alcohol is going to affect your bodybuilding your probably on steroids or considering them. Why wouldn’t you want more testosterone if you’re concerned about alcohol decreasing it? Steroids are not bad for your liver unless your drinking, then they are HORRIBLE. Even worse with the methylated oral steroids and the “prohormones” which are actually just methylated steroids, but all of those are banned.

The prohormones in the Mind and Muscle store are non-methylated, and non liver toxic. The prohormones in our Basic Mass Stack and our Basic Cut Stack are safe on your liver and you can drink with them! Additionally I have other things I invented in those stacks which adjust the other hormones; Raising LH, FSH, GH, decreasing cortisol, and of course raising testosterone.

Alcohol Makes You Fat?

Alcohol consumers actually weigh less that non-drinkers, and this study (Kokavec A 2008) shows alcohol has an appetite decreasing effect:

“Long-term alcohol intake can decrease the total amount of food consumed when food is freely available and the alcohol-induced individual is often held accountable for their irregular eating behavior. Assessment of meal composition has highlighted that appetite for food containing carbohydrates (in particular) is altered in moderate-heavy drinkers but at present there is insufficient biochemical evidence to confirm or deny this observation."

Alcohol Effects on Testosterone, GH and Other Hormones

In a study done on 8 healthy male volunteers, 1.5 g of ethanol per kg of body weight (that’s 10-15 drinks) was administered over the span of 3 hours, from 6 pm to 9 pm. Their blood samples were collected every 20 minutes for 20 hours. These subject males were their own control group, being that they would have to repeat the experiment with water a month later. (Valimaki M 1990)

The study found that although testosterone was reduced the following day (10 hours later) by 23%, LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) secretion from the pituitary gland didn’t change much at all. GH (Growth-hormone) however, did not have its usual pulsatile release while in deep sleep (Stage IV) and the total amount released was much lower. Prolactin levels stayed static, but cortisol levels DID increase at around the 10 hour mark by 36%.
