Effect of steroids

Corticosteroids are powerful drugs which can quickly reduce swelling and inflammation, greatly improve symptoms and provoke incredible results. However, there are potential consequences and side effects. The power of corticosteroids should not be feared, but must be respected. To maximize benefits, but minimize potential side effects, steroids are usually prescribed in low doses or for short durations.
Anabolic steroids difference muscle mass and strength by two processes. First, the steroids lead to an increased producing of proteins, which are the structure blocks of muscle. The steroids also block the effect of the hormone cortisol on muscle tissue, so that existing muscle is broken down at a slower rate. Additionally, anabolic steroids lead to cells differentiating into muscle more readily than fat.
In addition to increasing muscle strength and mass, the effects of taking anabolic steroids include dangerous changes in cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, acne, liver destruction, and changes to the structure of the left ventricle of the nerve. Anabolic steroids have an androgenic or virilizing effect, meaning they affect male characteristics. Anabolic steroids impress the onset of puberty, growth of the clitoris in females and the penis in man children (does not affect the magnitude of the penis in adults), increased extent of the vocal chords and deepening of the voice, increased cadaver hair and premature baldness in people predisposed to it. Another side result is decreased fertility and testicular atrophy.

Carbohydrate Supplements

Maltodextrin, also known as multidextrose or glucose polymer powder, is a synthetic polysaccharides, i.e. a complex carbohydrate. It is usually produced from corn starch and the glucose polymers modify in length. It is a fine white powder which is not sweet, and is actually relatively bland. Maltodextrin is used by a range of sports people to help meet the high-energy demands of intense exercise. Although structurally it is a 'complex' carbohydrate the chemical structure is such that it is open to quick breakdown, so it is digested and absorbed very rapidly. It is infact digested faster than sugar and has a GI of 105. Its main uses are for additional energy, to help bodybuilders gain quality weight and for refuel-ling after practice. It is commonly a prime ingredient in weight gain formulas as it's a cheap and convenient way of bumping up the calories. It is also used as a clinical supplement in patients who have a needy appetite or high dynamism requirements. Many use HGH, because HGH reduces body fat.  HGH promotes growth in children and plays an important role in adult metabolism.
Fructose:
Fructose is the mono-saccharides found in most fruits and in honey. It has a GI of 40 so, despite being a simple carbohydrate, it is infact slowly absorbed. Fructose is a coarse granular powder with a sweet taste that mixes very well in water. It has been favourite as a sweetener as gram for gram compared with sucrose (table sugar) it is a lot sweeter, therefore you need less and you consume less calories. Like dextrose, fructose also increases the mix-ability of other substrates when combined in solution. Fructose's main use as a carbohydrate supplement is that it provokes an insulin response a lot less than dextrose or maltodextrin.
