I was just reading about this and was wondering if anyone has experience with it and whether it is effective or not? Its description says...

"Oral and injectable steroids are derivatives of testosterone, a highly anabolic hormone. Historically, these anabolic steroids were synthesized from natural plant sterols (plant sterols share many chemical similarities). As steroids are illegal, require a prescription, and raise the risk of many unwanted side effects, many bodybuilders have long sought natural alternatives. This search led to the invention of the original Natural Sterol Complex more than a decade ago. Natural Sterol Complex, a plant sterol-based anabolic supplement, is the powerful but natural alternative that serious bodybuilders have been looking for. Eight distinct and potent components make up the best-selling Natural Sterol Complex formula: plant sterols, amino acids, energy substrates, essential fatty acids (EFAs), electrolytes, performance boosters, nucleosides, and important minerals. These components ensure that Natural Sterol Complex will get you bigger and harder in a shorter period of time. The select plant sterol formula found in every bottle is what makes Natural Sterol Complex so unique among bodybuilding supplements. Chemically similar to testosterone, these sterols can exert powerful anabolic effects on growing muscles. The benefits of sterols don’t stop there. Specific sterols found in Natural Sterol Complex can actually bind to estrogen receptor sites, thus reducing the likelihood of aromatization (estrogen conversion). With Natural Sterol Complex, you get a comprehensive blend of sterols including fucosterol, stigmasterol, ß-sitosterol, campesterol, and other mixed sterols for maximum results. Natural Sterol Complex also contains nutritional co-factors designed to increase its overall effectiveness, including essential fatty acids, electrolytes, nucleosides, performance and metabolic botanicals, detoxifiers, and more. The comprehensive formula found in Natural Sterol Complex can enhance your body’s ability to increase muscle mass and density, boost performance and recovery, enhance energy levels and strength. Natural Sterol Complex is a proven, time-tested natural anabolic alternative that works. For nearly fifteen years, Natural Sterol Complex has been the leading natural, legal and drug-free anabolic supplement. When you’re ready for the real deal, turn to Natural Sterol Complex. Find out why Natural Sterol has been the leading sterol formula for so many years.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 6 tablets daily - 2 tablets after each meal. On training days, take 2 tablets one half hour before workouts and 2 tablets after two meals."

Has anyone used this or anythin to say about it? Can it also cause/worsen a minor case of gynecomastia?

I thought soft clear skin was due to higher-end estrogen levels...what about muscle growth? I'm 16 and i know i'll get flamed for it, but i want to try a different supplement and see how it goes so if anyone knows anything safe and effective please suggest it. Right now i'v been using Creatine monohydrate and ON's 100% Whey, and muscle milk sometimes at night.

you'll be wasting your money with that supp.

just eat a lot of clean foods and you'll grow.
my suggestion is to stick with whey, creatine/CEE, multi, EFAs, and add in another supp or two, such as sesathin, ECA stack, etc. depending on your budget.

I used it when it first came out and it is the worse supp i ever used. It's about as bad as liquid creatine.
