I know I’m delusional but I’m actually curious.

    Is it possible in the strictest sense of chemical theory? Yes. it’s “possible” because they share the same building blocks. Is it possible in the context of human capability and practical chemistry? Absolutely not. like I said, even if you had a professional-grade laboratory, the reagents required to force linear fats into steroid rings (such as various organometallic catalysts or Birch reduction chemicals like liquid ammonia and lithium) are: HIGHLY VOLATILE

    EXTREMELY TOXIC

    EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE

    It would be so complex that you probably wouldn’t get a single gram of Nandrolone because of the complexity of the steps alone.
