Has anyone else heard about Primordial Performance's new 1-androsterone product? There is a lot of buzz about it on several other boards and I am pretty excited about this myself. For those that don't know, 1-androsterone (also known as 1-DHEA) is a prohormone that readily converts to 1-testosterone in the body.
According to the stuff I've read, 1-testosterone is of particular interest to athletes/bodybuilders because it:
1) Cannot aromatize into estrogen, so there is no fear of gyno or other estrogenic sides
2) Is 7 times more anabolic than testosterone
Oral 1-androsterone is pretty popular already, but topical delivery is even better because the skin contains a very high concentration of the enzymes required to convert 1-androsterone into 1-testosterone. Plus, there is no fear whatsoever of liver damage when you deliver it topically.
The only potential "downside" is that, as an androgen, it may cause DHT-type sides in some guys (e.g., hairloss). But because it is not being coverted to DHT (since it is not testosterone), things like finasteride will not help.
From what I've gathered, Primordial Performance's 1-androsterone product will be called "1-T" and will come out in early November. Obviously I haven't used it yet, but I have used PP's other products, Dermacrine and Sustain Alpha, and I love them both. Sustain Alpha in particular has been a godsend. Also, their customer service is top notch. They are definitely one of my favorite companies, so I'm sure this is gonna be awesome.
Has anyone heard anything else about this product? Experiences with 1-androsterone in general? (I would post links to the threads on other boards discussing this, but I'm not sure if it's allowed. If not, PM me for the details.)
