Nandrolone decanoate

Nandrolone Decanoate

This article is about the drug Nandrolone Decanoate, which is widely known in bodybuilding. In simpler terms, athletes call it Deca. In fact, Nandrolone Decanoate is the active ingredient, and there are many different trade names for drugs containing this substance, for example: Deca-Durabolin, Nandrolone D, Nandroged, Decaver, Decabol. This synthetic steroid was first produced in the 60s by the famous pharmaceutical company Organon. At first, Deca was used in the treatment of osteoporosis, post-burn, or post-surgical therapy, and the treatment of breast cancer. However, when the pharmacological market started to receive medicines fighting with the same diseases but not being steroidal, Nandrolone Decanoate stopped being in demand on the medical market. But in the world of bodybuilding and sports, the drug has started to be used very often. Why has Nandrolone Decanoate found its application in the sports world?

Effects of Nandrolone Decanoate

Because taking Nandrolone Decanoate has the following effects

• increasing the athlete's strength and endurance;
• strengthening of bone tissue;
• stimulating the rapid growth of muscle mass;
• improvement in the transport of oxygen into the bloodstream;
• increase immunity;
• therapeutic effect on joints.

One more advantage of Nandrolone Decanoate is that it has low androgenic activity and thus it does not convert into estrogens in the body, i.e. it does not aromatise practically. This saves the athlete from the risk of side effects directly related to aromatization, such as gynecomastia. However, still Nandrolone Decanoate as a steroid drug has its disadvantages. The first one is that it retains fluid in the body. It means that after taking the drug, some muscle mass will be lost together with the fluid that will be excreted from the body (usually, about 30% of the muscle mass is lost). The second minus of Nandrolone Decanoate is that its use significantly reduces the secretion of own testosterone in the body, which in men may lead to complete atrophy of the testicles. It sounds terrifying, but if you carefully consider the complex of related products, which will be present on a steroid course, the athletes will not be afraid of these disadvantages. If you are thinking of taking Deca for sports purposes, it is highly recommended that you consult with a steroid specialist to have a course of treatment tailored specifically to your needs.

Side Effects

Use of Nandrolone Decanoate in therapeutically justified doses does not lead to any side effects. At the same time, prolonged treatment can cause undesirable side effects: 

• Hypersensitivity reactions;
• Sipiness of the voice (there are cases of irreversible tonal changes);
• Virilization caused by inhibition of gonadotropin secretion (in female patients: hirsutism, menstrual irregularities, acne, male pattern baldness, clitoral hypertrophy, amenorrhea;
• in male patients: gynaecomastia, spermatogenesis, penile enlargement, priapism, etc.);
• Hypercalcaemia, symptoms of which include vomiting and nausea, rapid fatigue;
• Lack of appetite, burning tongue;
• Sexual dysfunction, impaired libido;
• Water and sodium retention, leading to swelling;
• Jaundice, cholestasis, changes in liver tests. (There have been very few cases of hepatic neoplasms on prolonged anabolic steroid use. A direct link between the abnormalities and the use of nandrolone has not been proved, which makes it impossible to disregard the isolated cases mentioned.)
