: OK, Norandrostenedione occurs NATURALLY in the placenta of pregnant females--this is a well-documented

: the beginning--there are many others that occur naturally that have efficacy!

Ok...maybe I sound dumb, but what does it mean when you say "found in nature" I know thats the basis for androstenedione being legal, but does that mean found outside of humans, or just found naturally in humans?
If the latter is the case, then why isn't testosterone also legal? It is obviously found in nature.
