Description
Nandrolone Decanoate, derived from 19-nortestosterone, is an injectable anabolic steroid. It is worth noting that Nandrolone can be naturally produced in the human body after intense physical activity or during pregnancy, albeit in very low concentrations.
Structurally, Nandrolone differs from testosterone by lacking a carbon atom in the 19th position, earning it the name "19-nortestosterone." This structural distinction makes Nandrolone more akin to progestins. In comparison to testosterone, Nandrolone exhibits significantly less androgenic effects, but its interaction with progesterone receptors leads to distinct side effects.
Unlike testosterone, which converts into the powerful androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) via the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, Nandrolone converts into dihydronandrolone, an extremely weak androgen. This makes Nandrolone a favorable choice for male athletes with prostate issues.
Nandrolone demonstrates a relatively low probability of side effects. Its low androgenic activity results in a reduced occurrence of issues such as acne, baldness, and excessive body hair growth. However, it is essential to note that these side effects may still manifest if recommended doses are significantly exceeded.
Compared to testosterone, Nandrolone has approximately six times less conversion to estrogens without the involvement of aromatase enzymes. While the liver primarily converts Nandrolone, the main site of conversion for other steroids, adipose tissue, remains less susceptible to this process. Consequently, Nandrolone carries a minimal risk of estrogen-related side effects, such as gynecomastia or fluid retention. The estrogenic activity of the drug becomes noticeable only at very high doses.
These favorable properties contribute to the popularity of Nandrolone as an anabolic steroid for muscle mass gain. Additionally, Nandrolone is known for its ability to minimize muscle loss after a cycle.
Effects
- Promotes significant muscle growth with minimal muscle loss post-cycle
- Strengthens bones, ligaments, and improves skin regeneration
- Relieves joint pain by increasing synovial fluid production
- Enhances red blood cell mass, leading to improved oxygen transport and increased endurance
- Boosts the immune system, making it beneficial for patients with AIDS
- Converts to estradiol without the involvement of aromatase enzymes
- Improves intestinal absorption of amino acids and nutrients
Side effects
- Binding to progestin receptors can lead to increased prolactin production, suppressing gonadotropic hormone secretion and resulting in decreased testosterone levels, slight fat gain, and, in rare cases, gynecomastia
- Possible side effects include increased blood pressure, abdominal pain, irritability, headaches, and depression
- Rare side effects may include headache, back pain, and gynecomastia
Dosage
- To relieve joint pain and strengthen bones, a dosage of 50-150 mg per week for 5-10 weeks is recommended
- For muscle mass gain, a dosage of 200-800 mg per week is commonly used, with an average of 400 mg of Nandrolone combined with 500 mg of testosterone per week
Profile
- Half-life: 7-9 days
- Frequency of intake: Once a week
Nandrolone decanoate is a long-acting ester suitable for extended mass-gaining cycles. Typical cycles last 8-10 weeks, although some experienced athletes may use it for up to six months, gradually increasing the dosage. For amateurs, it is not recommended to exceed 8 weeks without additional drugs. Long cycles should include the use of chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). If hCG was not used during the cycle, it is advisable to take it at the end of the cycle before beginning post-cycle therapy (PCT).
Nandrolone decanoate injections are typically administered once a week. Given its 15-day activity period, there is no need for twice-weekly injections. However, if the weekly volume of injected drugs is significant, it can be divided into two or three injections. Combining Nandrolone with testosterone is recommended to avoid progestin effects and the consequences of low testosterone, such as low libido, weak erection, and depression.
