Adrenal steroids such as androstenedione and its relatives, which have only weak anabolic activity, were available over the counter until January 2005, but became federally controlled substances under the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004. Only DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is still legally available in supplement stores.
