                                Derived from plants like Ajuga turkestanica, turkesterone belongs to a class of naturally occurring compounds called ecdysteroids. The key difference in its mechanism has led to the question: is Turkesterone considered a steroid in the traditional sense, or is it a non-hormonal anabolic agent?
