Steroid and the Vegan Diet
Steroids are a class of organic compounds characterized by a molecular structure with four rings arranged in a specific configuration. They play roles in a wide range of physiological processes, including as hormones. Although naturally occurring in both plants and animals, steroids are not commonly found in food products but are typically present in medications, supplements, cosmetics, and occasionally in cleaning supplies. They can be synthesized from animal or plant sources.
