Deca-Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate)

Nandrolone is the chemical name for the Steroid that many know as Deca-Durabolin. Deca Durabolin is in fact the trademark name Organon Corporation gave this product when they released it to the public. The name has stuck and now everybody refers to Nandrolone Decanoate as simply Deca. This steroid is suspended in an oil solution meant for intramuscular application. Being a very basic steroid with few side-effects makes this a great product for new users. Deca is known for a very smooth and painless injection which adds to its appeal for those who are new to using needles. Testosterone is often stacked with Deca in steroid cycles since these two steroids have a synergistic effect in the body.

Some use to believe that the Decanoate ester in this preparation will help the Nandrolone hormone survive digestion when taken orally by being absorbed as a lipid. Many others think this theory is flawed put it to the test. Whatever the case is nobody has ever reported any noticeable gains from taking Deca orally.

How to use Deca?

Being one of the most widely used steroids by people looking to gain lean mass, Deca has become a mainstay in most steroid cycles you see today. The long life of the Decanoate ester allow for this hormone to be actively working in the system for as long as five weeks after injection. It can be detected for up to eighteen months from last use and has made many athletes fail drug tests. Most gym steroid user inject this hormone once per week in amounts that range from 200mg to 400mg. Using Testosterone or other strong androgens as part of the cycle is important to avoid erectile problems in men.

Deca side effects?

The side effects from Deca use are water retention and loss of erectile firmness. Some men may get breast tissue growth from Deca, but this is very uncommon and mostly attributed to the individual’s high sensitivity to progestin hormones like Nandrolone. Gynecomastia is not a problem for most that choose Nandrolone but a few will suffer this undesirable effect.

Where to buy Deca?

Deca is widely available in many places and counterfeits are rare since this is a fairly inexpensive Steroid. In some cases counterfeiters will actually substitute other more expensive Steroid oils with Nandrolone in order to make a profit. This was the case of Parabolan in the mid 90’s when this steroid was popular but very expensive. While some users may not notice the difference, others do suffer unexpected problems for inadvertently taking this steroid.

How is Deca packaged?

Human grade Deca use to come in preparations of only 50mg per milliliter and later on a 100mg per milliliter version was made. It wasn’t until the last ten years that veterinary and underground labs have began making Nandrolone products in the 300 and even 500 milligrams per milliliter range.
