Recent advances in nutritional supplements have been used to aid athletic performance. Spurred by the popularity and financial success of creatine sales, athletes and supplement companies alike seek to find the next breakthrough product. Prominent among the new supplements are androgen prohormones, a class of steroid-mimicking products. Although many physicians and scientists view these supplements as potentially dangerous cousins to anabolic steroids, users see them as a means of obtaining steroid-like results with fewer adverse effects. The current literature reveals that thus far the androgen prohormone supplements tested do not enhance performance, body composition, or various parameters associated with good health.
营养补充剂的最新进展已被用于提高运动成绩。受肌酸销售的普及和经济成功的刺激，运动员和补充剂公司都在寻求找到下一个突破性产品。新补充剂中突出的是雄激素前体激素，这是一类模拟类固醇的产品。尽管许多医生和科学家认为这些补充剂是合成代谢类固醇潜在的危险同类物，但使用者将它们视为一种获得类似类固醇效果且副作用较少的手段。目前的文献表明，迄今为止，所测试的雄激素前体激素补充剂并不能提高运动成绩、改善身体成分或与健康相关的各种参数。
