coating orals in glucosomine instead of c17 alkalating them

[voodoozyme]

I recently read how glucosomine doesnt get brocken down by liver and it got me thinking if this method was possible.

you can only coat them physical...not chemically persay like a methyl group would

I wonder if it would work on injectables? if its bypasses the liver isnt that the main reason to inject?

You are missing the point here. The difference between a 17 alkylated steriod and a regular one is that the 17 alkylated is chemically different and has an extra carbon at the 17 position. The liver can't break it down as readily as the non alkylated AS.

If you take a regular steriod and coat it with glucosamine, you end up with a sugar coated steriod, think of it like an M&M. When you swallow the pill, it dissolves the sugar coating and then the steriod goes to the liver and gets metabolised. In this case the steriod is still the same old steriod and the sugar is still sugar.

You inject the steriods to prevent it from going to the liver before it gets to the bloodstream. If you put glucosamine in with your oil, you have an oil depot with sugar in it. It doesn't do anything.

thanks for the solid answer Alcibiades. sometimes I get to wondering in my mind.

Nice response, alcibiades.
