Creating Orally Active Prohormones

Paper Summary:

This paper uses explanations and many technical chemistry terms. It is written using a lot of chemistry terminology, but maintains a coherent voice. The paper covers how steroids used to be administered, why newer steroids are given the way they are, and what the advantages are to the different types of drugs and delivery methods.

From the Paper:

"The new technology in prohormones hitting the market are Lipophilic ester and ethers, and are being touted as the first truly effective solutions to the poor oral bioavailability of many such supplements. And there is a tremendous amount of promise with this technology if properly applied. Supplement manufacturers have been looking for a solution to problems with oral dosing for some time, and they knew they had a true advance on their hands in this area. Chemists went through great lengths not to just drop powder into a capsule, but to develop a series of ether-modified, oil-solubilized, softgel-encapsulated prohormones."
