Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is a confusing and ultimately incorrect statement. 🧪 Testosterone is absolutely a steroid hormone, specifically an anabolic-androgenic steroid, that is naturally produced in humans and other vertebrates. While trace amounts of testosterone have been found in some plants (like the pollen of Scots pine), it is not a 'plant steroid' (the main ones being brassinosteroids). This phrasing is highly misleading, likely to downplay the risks and legal status of testosterone.
