Deca
Durabolin |
Other variations
of administration used by female athletes are Deca-Durabolin
and Winstrol tablets Masteron Parabolan,
as well as Deca-Durabolin and Primobolan S-tablets.
Since Deca-Durabolin has no negative effects on the
liver it can even be used by persons with liver diseases.
Exams have shown that a combined application of Dianabol / Deca-Durabolin increases
the liver values which, however, return to normal upon
discontinuance of the 17-alpha alkylated Dianabol and
continued administration of
Deca-Durabolin. Even a treatment period with Deca-Durabolin over several
years could not reveal a damage to the liver. For this reason Deca-Durabolin
combines well with Andriol (240-280 mg/day)
since Andriol is not broken down through the
liver and thus the liver function is not influenced either. Older and
more cautious steroid users, in particular, like this combination.
A great disadvantage
of Deca-Durabolin is its high price. In the U.S. a
50 nag ampule costs approx. $10 - 12. In a catalog
of a large American pharamaceutical company the 50
mg ampules are offered at $11.79. A 200 mg/ml ampule
costs $19.49. Since the weekly dose is around 200-400
mg/week, treatment can become very expensive. On the
black market, one can especially Find the Dutch and
Greek Deca-Durabolin in strengths of 200 mg/2 ml ampules,
they usually cost around $30 per ampule.
Those who
have access to the generic Greek 50 mg products such
as Anaboline, Ziremilon, or Extraboline, receive a
product of equally good quality at a slightly lower
price. We doubt whether the Russian Retabolin and the
Hungarian Retabolil are of good quality. At least from
the standpoint of their price these products are very
interesting.
Because of
its great popularity and the high demand that goes
along with it, there are many fakes of Deca-Durabolin.
Some of the most popular include the brown 10 m/injection
vial
"Nandrolone Decanoate" by International
Pharmaceuticals and the 30 ml and 50 ml brown glass vials supposedly
by the manufacturer "National Products CA-U.S." Also,
Deca fakes are mostly sold in brown and white 2ml glass ampules
with supposedly 100 mg/ml. In Europe, original Deca Durabolin
is never sold in a glass ampule or vial with more than 2ml injection
solution. The ampules and vials by Organon Company all come with
an adhesive label or sticker and no simple stamp imprint which,
as on most fakes, is directly placed on the glass.
If somebody
offers you individual ampules without its appertaining
packaging you should be very skeptical about the compound
(and salesperson). The drug "Nandrolone Decanoate" by
International Pharmaceuticals comes with an adhesive
label on the 10 ml vial is individually packaged, but
it is still a fake. There are also several fakes of
the Dutch Deca-Durabolin "100" by Organon
Company. It is relatively easy to recognize the original
since it comes in a prickthrough ampule with a red
cap.
The Greek
Deca-Durabolin is bought by dealers on Crete in large
quantities with little difficulty, since Crete receives
a certain yearly allotment from the Greek mainland.
Its subsidy by the government allows for a low price.
The Mexican Deca unfortunately is manufactured only
in a 50 mg version which means quite voluminous injections
for its user. Since it is not as simple to imitate
the Redi-ject versions one can assume that he or she
is dealing with an original Deca compound if it originated
in Mexico. There are always two Redi-ject injections
in one original package. The ampules by Organon are
of brown glass, with an aluminum cap and a white label
with blue and black print. The probability of receiving
an original Mexican Deca is
very low.

Generic
name: Nandrolone Decanoate
Although
nandrolone decanoate is still contained in many generic
compounds, almost every athlete connects this substance
with Deca-Durabolin. Organon introduced Deca-Durabolin
during the early 1 960's as an injectable steroid available
in various strengths. Most common are 50 mg/ml and 100
mg/ml. Decadurabolin is
the most widespread and most commonly used injectable steroid.
Deca's large popularity can be attributed to its numerous
possible applications and, for its mostly positive results.
It's main characteristic is clearly defined on the package
insert by Organon GmbH Company: "The distinct anabolic
effect of nandrolone decanoate is mirrorred in the positive
nitrogen balance." Nitrogen, in bonded form. is part
of protein.
How
it works
Deca-Durabolin
causes the muscle cell to store more nitrogen than
it releases so that a positive nitrogen balance is
achieved. A positive nitrogen balance is synonymous
with muscle growth since the muscle cell, in this phase,
assimilates (accumulates) a larger amount of protein
than usual. The same manufacturer, however, points
out on the package insert that a positive nitrogen
balance and the protein building effect that accompany
it will occur only if enough calories and proteins
are supplied. One should know this since, otherwise,
satisfying results with Deca Durabolin cannot be obtained.
The highly
anabolic effect of deca
durabolin is linked to a moderately androgenic
component, so that a good gain in muscle mass and strength
is obtained. At the same time, most athletes notice
considerable water retention which, no doubt, is not
as distinct as that with injectable testosterones but
which in high doses can also cause a smooth and watery
appearance.
Since deca
durabolin also stores more water in the
connective tissues, it can temporarily ease or
even cure existing pain in joints. This is especially
good for those athletes who complain about pain
in the shoulder, elbow, and knee; they can often
enjoy pain-free workouts during treatment while
using
decadurabolin. Another
reason for this is that it blocks the cortisone receptors thus
allowing less cortisone to reach the muscle cells and the connective
tissue cells. Athletes use Deca, depending on their needs, for
muscle buildup and in preparation for a competition.
Side
effects
Although Deca
is not an optimal steroid when preparing for a competition,
many athletes also achieve good results during this
phase. Since Deca Durabolin is a long-term anabolic,
there is risk that with a higher dosage, the competing
athlete will retain too much water. A conversion into
estrogen, that means an aromatizing process, is possible
with Deca-Durabolin but usually occurs only at a dose
of 400 mg/week.
During competitions
with doping tests Deca must not be taken since the
metabolites in the body can be proven in a urine analysis
up to 18 months later. Those who do not fear testing
can use Deca as a high-anabolic basic compound in a
dosage of 400 mg/week. The androgens contained in 400
mg/week also help to accelerate the body's regeneration.
The risk of
potential water retention and aromatizing to estrogen
can be successfully prevented by combining the use
of Proviron with Nolvadex.
A preparatory stack often observed in competing athletes
includes 400 mg/week Deca-Durabolin,
50 mg/day Winstrol, 228
mg/week Parabolan, and 25 mg/day Anavar. |
Although
the side effects with Deca-Durabolin are relatively
low with dosages of 400 mg/week, androgenic-caused
side effects can occur. Most problems manifest themselves
in high blood pressure and a prolonged time for blood
clotting, which can cause frequent nasal bleeding and
prolonged bleeding of cuts, as well as increased production
of the sebaceous gland and occasional acne. Some athletes
also report headaches and sexual overstimulation.
When very
high dosages are taken over a prolonged period, spermatogencsis
can be inhibited in men, i.e the testes produce less
testosterone. The reason is that Deca Durabolin, like
almost all steroids, inhibits the release of gonadotropin
from the hypophysis.
Dosages
Deca-Durabolin is
suitable, even above average, to develop muscle mass
since it promotes the protein synthesis and simultaneously
leads to water retention. The optimal dose for this
purpose lies between 200 and 600 mg/week. Scientific
research has shown that best results can be obtained
by the intake of 2 mg/pound body weight. Those who
take a dose of less than 200 mg/week will usually feel
only a very light anabolic effect which, however, increases
with a higher dosage.

The anabolic
and consequent buildup effect of Deca-Durabolin, up
to a certain degree, depends on the dosage. In the
range of approx. 200 to 600 mg/week, the anabolic effect
increases almost proportionately to the dosage increase.
If more than 600 mg/week are administered, the relationship of the positive
to the negative effects shifts in favor of the latter.
In addition, at a dosage level above 600 mg/week, the anabolic effect
no longer increases proportionately to the dosage increase, so that 1000
mg/week do not guarantee significantly better results than 600 mg/week.
Most male athletes experience good results by taking 400 mg/week. Steroid
novices usually need only 200 mg/week.
Deca Durabolin
works very well for muscle buildup when combined with Dianabol
(D-bol) and Testoviron
Depot. The famous Dianabol
(D-bol)/Deca stack
results in a a fast and strong gain in muscle mass.
Most athletes usually take 15-40 mg Dianabol
(D-bol)/day and 200-400 mg Deca/week.
Even faster results can be achieved with 400 mg Deca/week
and 500 mg Sustanon/week.
Athletes report an enormous gain in strength and muscle
mass when taking 400 mg Deca/week,
500 mg Sustanon/week, and
30 mg Dianabol (D-bol)/day.
Deca is a good basic steroid which, for muscle buildup,
can be combined with many other steroids.
Women
and Deca durabolin
Women with
a dosage of up to 100 mg/week usually experience no
major problems with Deca Durabolin. At higher dosages
androgenic-caused virilization symptoms can occur,
including deep voice (irreversible), increased growth
of body hair, acne, increased libido, and possibly
clitorishypertrophy.
Since most
female athletes get on well with Deca
Durabolin a dose of Deca 50 mg+/week is usually
combined with Anavar 10 mg+/day. Both compounds, when
taken in a low dosage, are only slightly androgenic
so that masculinizing side effects only rarely occur.
Deca, through its increased protein synthesis, also
leads to a net muscle gain and Anavar, based on the
increased phosphocreatine synthesis, leads to a measurable
strength gain with very low water retention. |
