Whether you are running your first cycle or stacking compounds for a competition prep, our staff has used this category, knows these products, and can walk you through every option in person at any of our five locations.†
Every prohormone in this collection is 100% legal in the United States. Current legal prohormones are DHEA-based compounds — precursors that the body converts through a natural enzymatic process into active anabolic hormones. They are not the banned methylated steroids of the early 2000s. They are not prescription drugs. They are dietary supplements that work by supplying the body with hormonal precursors it converts on its own terms, within its own regulatory processes.†
Understanding the Main Compound Classes
Prohormones are not interchangeable — different compounds convert to different hormones, produce different effects, and suit different goals. The four primary compound classes you will find in this collection are as follows.†
1-DHEA (1-Andro) converts through a two-step enzymatic process to 1-Testosterone — a compound that cannot aromatize to estrogen and does not convert to DHT, making it a dry, lean-muscle compound with no water retention. Best used for lean mass cycles, cutting phases, or by anyone who wants size and strength without estrogen-related bloating. Products: Blackstone Labs Chosen1, Hi-Tech 1-Testosterone, Hi-Tech 1-AD.†
4-DHEA (4-Andro) converts to testosterone through a two-step process, making it the mass and strength compound of the category. It aromatizes to estrogen, so water retention and some fullness come with it — which is exactly what most people running a bulk are after. Best used for mass cycles, strength blocks, or as a base testosterone compound in a stack. Products: Blackstone Labs Brutal 4ce, Hi-Tech Androdiol.†
19-NorDHEA (19-Nor Andro) converts to Nandrolone — the compound historically associated with joint support, connective tissue strength, lean muscle accumulation, and a favorable side effect profile relative to testosterone. It is a suppressive compound that requires PCT. Best used by intermediate-to-advanced users who want lean, dry mass with the joint and connective tissue benefit Nandrolone is known for. Products: Blackstone Labs AbNORmal, Hi-Tech Decabolin.†
Epiandro (Epiandrosterone) converts to Stanolone (DHT), producing a hardening, drying, strength-focused effect with no estrogenic conversion. It increases vascularity, muscle density, and aggression in training. Zero water retention. Best used for cutting phases, recomp cycles, or stacked into a mass cycle to offset estrogen-related water retention from 4-Andro. Products: Hi-Tech Winstrol, Hi-Tech Anavar.†
Delivery Technology — Why It Matters in This Category
The two brands that dominate this collection — Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals and Blackstone Labs — have each developed proprietary delivery technologies that address the fundamental challenge of DHEA-based prohormone supplementation: oral bioavailability. Unmodified DHEA compounds are heavily degraded during first-pass liver metabolism, meaning a large percentage of the compound in a standard capsule or tablet never reaches systemic circulation to undergo conversion.†
Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals developed Cyclosome Technology, a dual-action delivery system combining liposomal encapsulation with cyclodextrin complexing. The cyclodextrin forms a stable molecular complex with the prohormone compound, protecting it from hepatic breakdown during first-pass metabolism. The liposomal carrier facilitates absorption directly through intestinal epithelium. Hi-Tech has invested over $1 million in research and development for this delivery system, and internal testing cites absorption rates up to 99% compared to approximately 33% for unprotected oral compounds.†
Blackstone Labs uses Liposomal Delivery Technology — encapsulating the active prohormone compounds in phospholipid-based liposomes that mimic the body's own cellular membranes, allowing for direct absorption through the gut lining. The same 99% vs. 33% absorption comparison applies. The practical implication: at equivalent stated doses, a liposomally-delivered compound delivers meaningfully more active material to systemic circulation than a standard tablet or capsule from a brand without this technology.†
Cycle Structure — What You Need Beyond the Prohormone Itself
Running a prohormone without the proper support compounds is the most common mistake in this category, and it is the mistake most likely to produce the side effects that give prohormones a bad reputation. A complete, responsible cycle has three components.†
On-Cycle Support protects your cardiovascular system, liver, and lipid profile during the cycle. Even though modern DHEA-based prohormones are non-methylated and significantly less hepatotoxic than the pre-ban methylated compounds, they still alter hormonal signaling in ways that stress cardiovascular and endocrine systems. Products like Blackstone Labs Gear Support and Hi-Tech's cycle support stack are designed specifically for this purpose.†
PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) is required after every prohormone cycle. Exogenous androgen precursors suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis — the body reduces its own LH and FSH output in response to elevated androgen signaling, leading to a temporary reduction in endogenous testosterone production. PCT restores natural testosterone production through LH-stimulating compounds, estrogen management, and cortisol control. Standard PCT runs 4 weeks post-cycle. Products: Blackstone Labs PCT-V, Blackstone Labs Eradicate, Hi-Tech Arimistane.†
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) manage estrogen conversion during cycles involving 4-DHEA or stacked compounds with estrogenic potential. For lean, dry compounds like 1-Andro and Epiandro, AIs are optional. For 4-DHEA-based bulking compounds, having an AI available is strongly recommended. Products: Blackstone Labs Eradicate, Hi-Tech Estrogenex.†
Stacking Framework
Single-compound cycles are appropriate for first-time users who want to assess how their body responds to hormonal supplementation before adding complexity. The most common and most beginner-appropriate starting points are Chosen1 (1-Andro, lean/dry, no estrogenic risk) or Brutal 4ce (4-Andro, mass-focused, estrogenic activity expected).†
Two-compound stacks are where the category becomes more powerful. The most effective and most commonly run combination pairs 1-Andro with 4-Andro — the 4-Andro provides testosterone base and mass stimulus while the 1-Andro drives dry lean muscle on top of it. Many Hi-Tech and Blackstone products are specifically formulated for this stack. Metha-Quad Extreme (Blackstone Labs) takes the multi-compound approach further with four compounds in a single product.†
Three-compound stacks incorporating 19-NorDHEA are for experienced users who understand hormonal suppression management, have run successful single and double compound cycles, and have consistent PCT protocols in place.†
Who Prohormones Are For
Prohormones are intended for healthy adult men who have maximized what they can achieve through training, nutrition, and standard supplementation, and are looking for the next level of hormonal support. They are not a shortcut for beginners who have not yet established consistent training and nutrition habits. They are not appropriate for women. They are not appropriate for anyone under 21 years of age, as the endocrine system is still developing through early adulthood.†
If you have questions about which compound is right for your goals, what to run for PCT, or how to structure a cycle, come in. This is the kind of conversation our staff is actually equipped to have — not a chatbot or a product page, but someone who has used this category and can give you a direct, honest answer.†
