THG Steroids
Steroids are muscle-enhancing substances taken in the form of needles, pills or liquids. They are used to gain muscle mass and to increase performance in any strenuous activity.

No matter how advanced the detecting equipment, it cannot test for something that it has not been programmed to test for. With a metabolite removed, the drug may not be as effective as the original, but it is still better then taking nothing at all. Designer steroids cost as much as $15,000 for a two-month course. As with anything with the word "designer" in its name, they are more expensive than normal. Highly qualified chemical engineers, who have access to a lab and the raw chemical compounds needed to manipulate compounds, make designer steroids.
