POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used orally. Although the safety of 4-androsterone has not been studied in clinical trials, this prohormone might cause serious anabolic steroid-like side effects including stroke, kidney failure, and liver injury (91094,91095).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient information available; avoid use.
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used orally. Anabolic androgenic steroids, such as epiandrosterone, can disrupt the body's hormonal balance and cause various adverse effects including reduced fertility, gynecomastia (in males), hair loss, acne, and behavioral changes. Anabolic androgenic steroid use has also been associated with hepatotoxicity and increased risk for heart disease. The US Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies warn that dietary supplements containing anabolic steroids are dangerous (91094).

POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used orally. Although the safety of purified laxogenin, or its synthetic analogue 5-alpha-hydroxy laxogenin, has not been studied in clinical trials, products labeled as containing either of these ingredients are often contaminated with prohibited compounds. Some products have been shown to contain potentially unsafe ingredients such as arimistane, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and testosterone phenylpropionate (99191).

General
...There is currently a limited amount of information on the adverse effects of 1-androsterone.
A thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Dyslipidemia, transaminitis, renal dysfunction.
Cardiovascular ...Significant increases in LDL cholesterol of around 29 mg/dL and significant decreases in HDL cholesterol of around 19 mg/dL have been reported in patients taking 1-androsterone for 4-weeks (91095).
Hepatic ...Significant increases in AST of around 15. 4 IU/L have been reported in patients taking 1-androsterone daily for 4 weeks. Despite the elevation, average AST levels did not go much beyond 40 IU/L, the upper limit of normal for AST (91095).
Renal ...Significant increases in serum creatinine of around 0. 2 mg/dL and significant decreases in GFR of around 16.4 mL/min/1.72m2 have been reported in patients taking 1-androsterone for 4 weeks. Serum creatinine remained within normal range despite the elevation, GFR dropped below 89 mL/min/1.72m2, which is suggestive of renal impairment (91095).
General ...There is insufficient information available about adverse effects associated with 4-androsterone. It is purported that 4-androsterone is metabolized to anabolic compounds. Therefore, in theory, there is concern that it might cause serious anabolic steroid-like side effects including stroke, kidney failure, and liver injury.
General ...A thorough evaluation of adverse effects has not been conducted. However, epiandrosterone is an anabolic androgenic steroid. This drug class is associated with cardiac, hepatic, and hormonal adverse effects.
General ...There is currently a limited amount of information available about the adverse effects of laxogenin. Products labeled as containing laxogenin or 5-alpha-hydroxy laxogenin might contain contaminants, including prohibited compounds (99191).
