Clear Doses. Honest Evidence. No Miracle Claims.

Anabolic steroids are Class C controlled drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. That sentence gets repeated across the internet without anyone explaining what it means for you, so here is the version that matters.

Possession for personal use is not an offence. You can hold anabolic steroids in a medicinal form for your own use without committing a crime, which surprises most people because it is the opposite of how the other drug classes work. Carrying them into the country yourself, for yourself, is also permitted.

Supply is where the law turns hard. Supplying or offering to supply carries up to fourteen years and an unlimited fine. Supply does not only mean selling. Handing a vial to a training partner is supply. Splitting an order with two friends is supply. Posting them is supply and importation together, and Border Force intercepts a great deal of it.

This is why this site sells none of them, and why any UK store that does is running a criminal enterprise however professional the checkout looks. If a shop is shipping trenbolone or testosterone to a UK address, someone is committing a fourteen year offence, and the customer list is that person’s evidence file.

The compounds covered include testosterone and all its esters, nandrolone, trenbolone, stanozolol, oxandrolone, methandienone, oxymetholone, boldenone, drostanolone and methenolone, alongside human growth hormone in most practical circumstances. Class C also covers ketamine and most benzodiazepines, which gives you a sense of where Parliament placed them.

Two things people routinely get wrong. Buying from an overseas website does not place you outside UK law, because importation with intent to supply is still importation. And a prescription changes everything: testosterone prescribed by a GMC registered doctor and dispensed by a registered pharmacy is entirely lawful, which is the whole basis of testosterone replacement therapy.

Two failure modes dominate writing about anabolic steroid side effects. Public health pages list every possible harm at maximum severity, which readers who have already decided simply discount. Forums flatten everything into manageable inconvenience. Neither helps anyone make a real decision.

The cardiovascular picture deserves the most attention and gets the least. Anabolic steroid use suppresses HDL cholesterol substantially and raises LDL, and left ventricular changes are measurable in long term users. It is the effect most likely to matter in twenty years and least likely to be noticed now, because nothing hurts while it happens.

Gynaecomastia comes from aromatisation, the conversion of testosterone into oestrogen. Once glandular tissue forms it does not resolve on its own and surgery is the only reliable answer. That is why search volume for it is so high, and so full of regret.

Hair loss follows genetics more than dose. If male pattern baldness runs in your family, androgens accelerate what was already coming. If it does not, you will most likely keep your hair.

Suppression of natural production is universal, and the recovery timeline varies enormously. Some men return to baseline within months. Some never do and end up on testosterone replacement permanently, which is the outcome nobody plans for and a meaningful number of men arrive at.

Blood pressure, acne, mood and sleep disruption, fertility effects and liver strain from oral compounds all belong on the list. Our side effects guide covers each against the evidence, including the places where that evidence is genuinely thin.

Most supplements that disappoint are not fake. They are real ingredients at doses too small to do anything, sold at a price that assumes you will never check. Five things give it away.

A proprietary blend hides the doses. If the label gives one total for a blend of six ingredients, you cannot know how much of any single one you are getting. That is the point of the blend.

The dose is per serving, and a serving may be two scoops. A tub that looks generous on the front often halves once you read how many scoops a serving actually is.

Compare against the dose used in the research. Creatine monohydrate is 3g to 5g a day. Citrulline studies use 6g to 8g. Beta alanine works at 4g to 6g. Anything well under those figures is decoration on a label.

The form matters as much as the name. Magnesium oxide and magnesium bisglycinate are both sold as magnesium and behave very differently once you swallow them. The same is true of zinc and of iron.

Third party tested should mean a certificate you can read. A badge on a product page is not a test result. Ask which laboratory, which batch, and what they actually tested for.

We hold ourselves to the same list. Every dose on this site is printed in full, and where a figure comes from the manufacturer rather than an independent test, the product page says so. If a product will do very little for you, we would rather say that than take the sale. The creatine and protein pages show what that looks like in practice, and the guides go further.

The shop stocks legal sports nutrition and food supplements. Whey, isolate, casein and plant protein. Creatine monohydrate, Creapure and creatine HCL. Branched chain and essential amino acids, glutamine, L carnitine, beta alanine, electrolytes, multivitamins and minerals.

Alongside those we are building an own brand range covering natural testosterone support, oestrogen balance and post training recovery, formulated around zinc, magnesium, vitamin D3, ashwagandha, DIM, calcium D glucarate, milk thistle and fenugreek at doses that match the published research rather than a label claim.

We will not stock anabolic steroids, SARMs, prohormones, DHEA, melatonin, yohimbine, sibutramine, DMAA, DMHA, or anything else that is a prescription only medicine or banned in a food supplement in Great Britain. Several of these are sold openly by sites that look entirely legitimate, which is exactly why the list is worth writing down.

We will not describe a supplement as a legal steroid, or imply that anything here replicates an anabolic compound. The Advertising Standards Authority has ruled against that repeatedly, and a product marketed as achieving a medicinal effect can be reclassified by the MHRA as an unlicensed medicine. It is also simply untrue.

Every product page states the dose of every active ingredient. Where an ingredient carries an authorised health claim in Great Britain we use the authorised wording, so zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood and creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short term high intensity exercise. Where no claim is authorised, which covers most botanicals including ashwagandha, tongkat ali and DIM, we give you the extract ratio, the standardisation and the dose, and make no claim at all.

Testosterone replacement is legal on prescription. We explain what the clinics charge, what bloodwork you need first, and what the NHS will and will not do, without selling you anything you cannot legally buy.

Getting TRT on the NHS is possible but slow, and the threshold is stricter than most men expect. You generally need two morning total testosterone readings below the reference range alongside symptoms, and many GPs will refer to endocrinology rather than treat directly.

Private clinics are faster and charge for the convenience. Expect an initial consultation and a full blood panel, then a monthly or quarterly fee covering medication and monitoring. Prices vary widely, and the cheapest option is rarely the one with the best monitoring, which is the part you are actually paying for.

Before any of it, get tested properly. Morning total testosterone taken twice, plus SHBG, free testosterone, LH, FSH, oestradiol, a full blood count and a lipid panel. Low testosterone symptoms overlap heavily with sleep debt, depression, thyroid dysfunction and simple undereating, and a great many men who feel exactly like a TRT candidate turn out to have something cheaper and easier to fix.

Health content here is reviewed by a named, qualified person and carries the date it was last checked. We cite the NHS, TALK TO FRANK, the MHRA and peer reviewed research. Where the evidence for an ingredient is thin or absent, the page says so plainly. That is the whole difference between this site and the rest of the category.

In practice that means naming who checked the page and when. It means citing the NHS, TALK TO FRANK, the MHRA and peer reviewed research rather than other blogs recycling each other. And it means stating that a botanical carries no authorised health claim on the same page where we are trying to sell you that botanical.

That last one costs us conversions. It is also the only reason a site in this category deserves to rank, and the only sound reason to believe anything else on it.

Everything here applies to orders delivered within the United Kingdom.

Dispatch. UK orders are dispatched on working days. Your estimated delivery date is shown at checkout before you pay, and the dispatch confirmation carries your tracking details. Estimates are estimates. If something is going to be late we will tell you rather than leave you wondering, and if a delay becomes unreasonable you can cancel and be refunded.

Returns. Change your mind and you can return an unopened supplement within 14 days for a refund, in line with the Consumer Contracts Regulations. For hygiene reasons we cannot take back opened supplements unless they are faulty, which is standard across the industry rather than us being difficult.

If something is wrong. If a product arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, email Contact@peakprotocol.co.uk. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 you are entitled to a repair, replacement or refund, and we are not going to make you argue for it.
