Case Study: Deca Durabolin

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.

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 anabolic side effects, 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
