it would be foolish to miss out on business due to closing early so one's
employees could get .....

Anabolic Steroids

and are less potent than oral steroids on an equal dosage basis. Injected
steroids have a delayed take up, which makes them last longer. It also allows
them to be detected in drug tests for a longer period of time.
How they work in the body:
When anabolic steroids are introduced into the body, under certain
conditions they increase: protein synthesis, lean body mass, and the nitrogen
balance in the body. A steroid receptor is formed which stimulates the

examines the similarities occurring in the two time periods and the possible
results that we may soon be facing in the very near future. I am hoping that
