In small amounts, DIM can both inhibit the aromatase enzyme (
and prevent conversion of
testosterone into estrogen)

and marathons
and thing of that nature where they're gonna be drug tested
and stuff like this would be a big no - no anyways, you know, or they're going after more natural means
and let's face it, prohormones can be kinda damaging to your body
and the reason for that is because a lot of these side effects: acne
and hair loss, breast tissue enlargement, or you know, what we affectionately call bitch tits in dudes, prostate swelling, you know, a lot of these hormonal imbalances that get created from dumping exogenous sources of hormones
into your body
