Rationale: Anabolic steroids are often in the news because of their use by athletes to increase physical performance and because they are often obtained illegally for this purpose. Catabolic steroids do not have the same desired action as ana-bolic steroids. Sterols are not used for these purposes. Protein supplements, although they help to increase energy and muscle mass, do not require a prescription.
