Decadubol_100
Decadubol-100®
Substance: nandrolone decanoate
Delivery: 1vial 200mg
Manufacturer: India, B.M. Pharmaceuticals
Decadubol-100 analog(Deca-Durabolin).This
compound came around early in the wave of commercial steroid development,
first being made available as a prescription medication in 1962. This
steroid is an extremely long acting compound, with the decanoate ester
said to provide this drug a slow release time of up to three or four
weeks. While perhaps true in a technical sense, what we find with further
investigation is that the release parameters after a single injection
are such that a strong release of nandrolone is really only maintained
for one to two weeks. This figure admittedly fails to take into account
drug buildup that may occur after multiple injections, which may allow
a longer duration of good effect to be seen. Figure 1 is provided to
illustrate the release dynamics of a single 200mg injection. As you
will see, by the end of the second week levels are already approaching
baseline.Deca-Dubol promoters protein anabolism and
also provides beneficial effects in senile osteoporosis.It im proves
general conditions in debilitated and convalescing patients and shortens
recovery time.It improves appetite and provides a general sense of well
being in convalescent pacients.Metabolic studies have show positive
effects on protein metabolism,nitrogen saving effects and anti catabolic
action.A decrease in urinary calcium has been reported in cases of increased
calcaemia.
World Wide "Deca" is one of
the most widely used anabolic steroids. Its popularity is due to the
simple fact that it exhibits many very favorable properties. Structurally
nandrolone is very similar to testosterone, although it lacks a carbon
atom at the 19t" position (hence its other name 19-nortestosterone).
The resulting structure is a steroid that exhibits much weaker androgenic
properties than testosterone. Of primary interest is the fact that nandrolone
will not break down to a more potent metabolite in androgen target tissuess'.
You may remember this is a significant problem with testosterone. Although
nandrolone does undergo reduction via the same (5-alpha reductase) enzyme
that produces DHT from testosterone, the result in this case is dihydronandrolone.
This metabolite is weaker than the parent nandroloness, and is far less
likely to cause unwanted androgenic side effects. Strong occurrences
of oily skin, acne, body/facial hair growth and hair loss occur very
rarely. It is however possible for androgenic activity to become apparent
with this as any steroid, but with nandrolone higher than normal doses
are usually responsible. Nandrolone also show an
extremely lower tendency for estrogen conversion. For comparison, the
rate has been estimated to be only about 20% of that seen with testosterones.
This is because while the liver can convert nandrolone to estradiol,
in other more active sites of steroid aromatization such as adipose
tissue nandrolone is far less open to this process'°. Consequently
estrogen related side effects are a much lower concern with this drug.
An antiestrogen is likewise rarely needed with Deca, gynecomastia only
a worry among sensitive individuals. At the same time water retention
is not a usual concern. This effect can occur however, but is most often
related to higher dosages. The addition of Proviron® and/or Tamoxifen®
should prove sufficient enough to significantly reduce any occurrence.
Clearly Deca is a very safe choice among steroids. Actually, many consider
it to be the best overall steroid for a man to use when weighing the
side effects and results. It should also be noted that in HIV studies,
Deca has been shown not only to be effective at safely bringing up the
lean body weight of patient, but also to be beneficial to the immune
system.
It is of note however that nandrolone
is believed to have some activity as a progestin in the body".
Although progesterone is a c-19 steroid, removal of this group as in
19-norprogesterone creates a hormone with greater binding affinity for
its corresponding receptor. Sharing this trait, many 19-nor anabolic
steroids are shown to have some affinity for the progesterone receptor
as well'2. This can lead to some progestin-like activity in the body,
and may intensify related side effects. The side effects associated
with progesterone are actually quite similar to those of estrogen, including
negative feedback inhibition of testosterone production, enhanced rate
of fat storage and possibly gynecomastia. Many believe the progestin
activity of Deca notably contributes to suppression of testosterone
synthesis, which can be marked despite a low tendency for estrogen conversion. Deca is not known as a very
"fast" builder. The muscle building effect of this drug is
quite noticeable, but not dramatic. The slow onset and mild properties
of this steroid therefore make it more suited for cycles with a longer
duration. In general one can expect to gain muscle weight at about half
the rate of that with an equal amount of testosterone. A cycle lasting
eight to twelve weeks seems to make the most sense, expecting to elicit
a slow, even gain of quality mass. Although active in the body for much
longer, Deca is usually injected once per week. The dosage for men is
usually in the range of 200-600mg. If looking to be specific, it is
believed that Deca will exhibit its optimal effect (best gain/side effect
ratio) at around 2mg per pound of bodyweight/weekly. Deca is also a
popular steroid among female bodybuilders. They take a much lower dosage
on average than men of course, usually around 50mg weekly. Although
only slightly androgenic, women are occasionally confronted with virilization
symptoms when taking this compound. Should this become a concern, the
shorter acting nandrolone Decadubol-100® would be a safer option.
This drug stays active for only a few days, greatly reducing the impact
of androgenic buildup if withdrawal were indicated.
As mentioned earlier,
endogenous testosterone levels can be a concern with Decadubol-100®,
especially after long cycles. It is therefore a good idea to incorporate
ancillary drugs at the conclusion of therapy. An estrogen antagonist
such as Clomid® or Tamoxifen® is therefore commonly used for
a few weeks. These both provide a good level of testosterone stimulation,
although they may take a couple of weeks to show the best effect. HCG
injections could be added for extra reassurance, acting to rapidly restore
the normal ability of the testes to respond to the resumed release of
gonadotropins. For this purpose one could administer three injections
of 2500-50001.U., spaced five days apart. After which point the antiestrogen
is continued alone for a few more weeks in an effort to stabilize the
production of testosterone. Remember to begin the ancillaries after
Deca has been withdrawn for a few weeks, not the first week after the
last shot. Deca stays active for quite some time so the ancillary drugs
will not be able to exhibit their optimal effect when the steroid is
still being released into the bloodstream. The major drawback for competitive
purposes is that in many cases nandrolone metabolites will be detectable
in a drug screen for up to a year (or more) after use. This is clearly
due to the form of administration. As discussed earlier in this book,
esterified compounds have a high affinity to stay stored in fatty tissues.
While we can accurately estimate the time frame it will take for a given
dose to enter circulation from an injection site, we cannot know for
sure that 100% of the steroid will have been metabolized at any given
point. Small amounts may indeed be stubborn in leaving fatty tissue,
particularly after heavy, longer-term use. Some quantity of nandrolone
decanoate may therefore be left to sporadically enter into the blood
stream many months after use. This process may be further aggravated
when dieting for a show, a time when body fat sores are being actively
depleted (possibly freeing more steroid). This has no doubt been the
cause for many unexpected positives on a drug screen. The fact that
nandrolone has been isolated as the "hands-off" injectable
for the drug tested athlete is most likely due to its popularity (and
therefore common appearance on drug screens). The same risk would of
course hold true for other long chain esterified injectables such as
Parabolan® and Primobolan®.On the other hand we find that the
use of the oral nandrolone precursors norandrostenedione and norandrostenediol
can allow the drug-tested athlete the benefit of an injectable nandrolone,
without the same risk for a positive result. A recently published French
study makes this possibility very clear. During this investigation it
was shown that trace levels of the nandrolone metabolites norandrosterone
and noretiocholanolone could be found in human urine up to eight months
after a single 50mg injection of nandrolone undecanoate". This
time frame shrank to only 8 days with norandrostenediol (50mg) and norandrostenedione
(100mg). I have also had the opportunity to speak with an amateur bodybuilder
recently, who was unexpectedly subject to a drug screen and now strongly
supports the use of oral precursor hormones. He was using up to 3 grams
norandrostenedione daily not very far from the date of the show, and
to his amazement did not test positive for steroid use.
Those not subject to a drug
screen are likely to find the low water retention and good effect of
this drug favorable for use in pre-contest cutting stacks. A combination
of Deca and Winstrol during the weeks/months leading up to a show for
example, is noted to greatly enhance to look of muscularity and definition.
A strong non-aromatizing androgen like Halotestin® or trenbolone
could be further added, providing an enhanced level of hardness and
density to the muscles. Being an acceptable anabolic, Deca can also
be incorporated into bulk cycles with good results. The classic Deca
and Dianabol cycle has been a basic for decades, and always seems to
provide excellent muscle growth. A stronger androgen such as Andriol
50® or testosterone couki also be substituted, producing greater
results. When mixed with Deca, the androgen dosage can be kept lower
than rf used alone, hopefully making the cycle more comfortable. Additionally
one may choose to continue Deca for a number of few weeks after the
androgen has been stopped. This will hopefully harden up some of the
bloat produced by the androgen, giving a more quality appearance. Remember
that endogenous testosterone production will not resume during Decadubol-100
therapy, and ancillaries are likewise still needed. On
the black market Decadubol-100 remains one of the most popular anabolics
in circulation.
