Deca Durabolin (”Deca”) is actually the brand name for Organon´s version of the compound Nandrolone Decanoate. This is a 19-Nor compound (some would say that it is the 19-norcompound), and as such, it shares basically the same characteristics with all of them. One thing unique to Deca, above nearly all steroids, is the mystique it has had for the last quarter of a century. Deca cycles at doses ranging from 100mgs/weekto2, 000mgs per week. First of all, Deca (and Nandrolone in general) doesn´t produce many estrogenic or androgenic side effects. This is because Deca has a very low rate of aromatization (conversion to estrogen via the aromatase enzyme), roughly equal to 20% the rate of Testosterone. Deca also has a very long active life. Deca produce relatively active and stable plasma Nandrolone levels until day almost 10, hence once a week injections are all that´s necessary for stable levels of Nandrolone decanoate (the Nandrolone phenylpropionate used i was active, and only experienced a severe drop off around day 5). You´ll also note that higher blood plasma levels of Nandrolone are found with Gluteal injections as opposed to Deltoid injections (this is true for all oil-based steroids).
Buy Deca Durabolin
To buy Deca Durabolin as a human-grade pharmaceutical from a dealer who stocks the Organon brand will be an expensive proposition. You could end up paying well over $10usd per amp or 2ml vial and this product is probably the most faked steroid in the world. Buying veterinary grade will make this much cheaper, with $75 being the average price for a ten milliliter bottle. There are also many underground labs that produce this drug and usually 10-20mls of a 200mg/ml concentration will never run over $100.
What Is It?
Nandrolone strongly resembles the molecular structure of the hormone testosterone, and produces a number of similar anabolic side effects. Nandrolone increase muscle mass, promotes bone density and stimulates appetite. It differs from testosterone by having weak androgenic properties (ability to cause masculine characteristics).
Medical Uses
Nandrolone decanoate received FDA approval in 1983 to treat a number of medical conditions. Doctors have used Nandrolone to increase red blood cell counts to treat anemia of the kidneys. It has also been used to treat post-menopausal osteoporosis and in the past, it has been prescribed as a contraceptive for women. As an oil-based steroid, patients must inject Nandrolone into intra-muscular tissue. Typical dosages range from 50 to 100 mg per week for women and 100 to 200 mg per week for men.
Athletic Uses
Nandrolone increases muscle mass by facilitating nitrogen retention in muscle tissues, and consequently many athletes have taken it to build muscle, increase strength or aid recovery after muscle injury. Nandrolone also helps recovery from and prevents joint injuries by storing excess water (as synovial fluid) in the joints, and this additional joint lubrication has encouraged Nandrolone use among strength athletes.
Contraindications
Men with pre-existing prostate carcinoma (a form of cancer) or members of either sex with breast carcinoma should not take Nandrolone. Also, women with hypocalcaemia (excess calcium in the bones), or women who could become pregnant during use should not take Nandrolone.
Nandrolone is considered a pregnancy Category X drug, which means that it is known to cause birth defects in unborn fetuses.
Also, Nandrolone has been known to cause enlarged prostates and prostate cancer in the elderly. Anyone with preexisting liver, kidney or heart disease should discuss these conditions with a doctor before taking Nandrolone. Additionally, patients should consult a doctor before taking Nandrolone if they are taking coagulants or insulin, because Nandrolone can affect the action of these medications
Deca Durabolin Cycle
Well, recommending Deca for use in a bulking cycle at up to 600mgs/week for an extended duration (12-16 weeks), or up to 400mgs/week in a cutting cycle (again, for12-16 weeks), as long as something to conflict water retention is present. Whichever purposes you decide to use Deca for, you still need to include Testosterone in your cycle and have some anti-progesteronic drugs in hand just in case.
Post Cycle Therapy (PCT), though beyond the scope of this profile, needs to be commented on. Due to the highly suppressive nature of Deca, the testosterone in a deca-inclusive cycle needs to be run for at least 2 additional weeks upon end of Deca. The baseline testosterone levels took roughly a month to return. Hence, a nice long entered testosterone should be run about 2 weeks longer than deca, to prevent having a lag in time when the deca is not producing an anabolic side effect, yet is still suppressing your natural testosterone levels. A particularly aggressive PCT be run after your cycle; nolvadex, HCG, and perhaps clomid should all be utilized in an effort to restore your natural hormone levels as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Deca Durabolin Side Effects
Letrozole seems to be a preferred choice to combat this favorite for using. This water retention would seem to make Deca more suitable for bulking rather than cutting, although it can be successfully used for either. Now for the worst news: Deca is a progestin (as are all Nandrolones), unfortunately; it happens to stimulate the progesterone receptor 20% as well as progesterone itself, and this opens the door for many possible unwanted side effects (water retention, acne, etc…). It must be noted that most of those are rare, though. This also may be the major reason that Deca is such a suppressive drug when it comes to your natural testosterone levels.
