Does Neurobion Affect Testosterone Levels Causing Loss Of Libido?
Question: Hi, I plan to take Neurobon ( 2mg) to bring my body in better shape + make it hard.
I don't want to take any" strong steroid " and so plan to opt for it (I understand its also a steroid). I have read comments that if taken for "long" term it can be dangerous for health. I am very regular with my gym and diet and only requirement at this moment is "something" which brings better shape + make it harder
Can below small dose for a month affect my Testosterone and libido ??
Below is the cycle i will be following:
week 1 : 4tab/day
week 2 : 6tab/day
week 3 : 8tab/day
week 4 : 10tab/day
week 5 : 10tab/day
week 6 : 8tab/day
week 7 : 4tab/day
week 8 : 2tab/day

Brief Answer:
It is safe and will not affect testosterone or your libido.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
If you are talking about neurobion (vitamin B1,B6,B12) then there is no need to be worried about testosterone level or your libido since it is just a vitamin B supplements and it is not associated with any serious side effect. So you can take the drug without any risk.
But let me know more information about the dosage you are taking.
Is it neurobion 2 mg really?(which is equivalent to 2000 mcg)
What is your vitamin B12 And Folate level?
Kindly get back to me with this information.
Regards,
Dr.Sandip kabra

Sorry, I was talking about Neurabol... big typo.
Brief Answer:
Neurabol is a steroid.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the clarification.
Neurabol is an anabolic steroid. Steroids have many side effects (fluid retention,peripheral edema,acne,hirsutism in females,nausea,dizziness,low Libido etc) on our body.
I would not personally recommend my patients to take this steroids even though it may help you to get good muscle mass but in long run will cause many health problems.
Also,it will not make you better shaped or harder but it eventually helps to gain muscle mass only.
Instead, I advice you to eat healthy food rich in protein, vegetables.
Hope this will help you.

Thanks - I agree and understand your point on side affect and have already shared my views on it. Also read similar responses on the portal.
I mentioned in my question that " I understand that in a LONG RUN" it will surely create a problem like any other steroid and so opting for weak steroid/low dose and Small duration.
I want to understand in specific if :
1- Duration of 40 days (Cycle mentioned) - with that "small/controlled" dose will also have side affects.
In one of the XXXXXXX one person has asked a doctor that he has already followed this cycle - and doctor has replied that it should not have affected him negatively since its a small dose/small duration.
I want to clarify this aspect. Appreciate you advise

Brief Answer:
Steroids should be better avoided.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome again,
The side effects (like sexual problems and others) are not generally seen with smaller doses of this steroids (10 to 20 mg per day which you are taking) for a shorter duration.
In my opinion short-term steroids mean lesser than 10 days duration. If you have already taken 1 cycle of 40 days and does not have any problem then there is no issue but that does not mean that you should continue it taking further unless your doctor has advised it.
Do not take this steroids if you have heard of it from some friend or your gym trainer since they are not doctors and I would never recommend this steroids (even at smaller doses for a shorter duration) even they have not causes any side effect so far.
To gain weight you need to consume more calories every day from healthy foods and choose the right type of exercises.
Also, one thing I would like to clear is,this steroids are not made for the purpose of body-building or to gain muscle mass rather, they are given in certain medical conditions under the supervision of physician or endocrinologist.
Let me know if you have more doubts to clear.
