Overview

Epiandrosterone is a type of chemical known as an anabolic steroid. It is converted in the body to other sex hormones.

In the US, epiandrosterone is a schedule III controlled substance that is not legal for use in supplements. But it is still found in some supplement products. It is also banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

Epiandrosterone is used for weight loss, to improve athletic performance, to reduce sexual problems, and for many other uses, but there is no good scientific evidence to support its use. Epiandrosterone might also be unsafe.
