@myoga Thank you for pointing this out.

I believe this person's confusion arises from the term, "anabolic", which simply means to" build up". The antonym, "catabolic", means to break down.

The label "anabolic" is associated with steroids because a class of steroids, "anabolic steroids", impact metabolism to build up muscle mass.

Simply calling something anabolic in nature does not mean that it is a steroid.

Other medications and supplements that contributed to anabolism but are not steroids are Human Growth Hormone (HGH), creatine, and protein powder.
