I got this info from my HRT Clinic Patient Care Coordinator for an EF member. I thought others might find the info beneficial, so here it is:
Derived from modifying the testosterone molecule, Nandrolone is one of the most popular anabolics in the world and with good reason; it is a versatile anabolic that can be used in "bulking" or "cutting" cycles.
Nandrolone has many benefits coupled with an unbeaten safety record. It has an anabolic (muscle building) rating of 125, making it an excellent drug for adding lean muscle. Neither is it very androgenic (leading to the development of male characteristics in women), with an androgenic ratio of only 37.
Nandrolone aids in various ways:
1. It promotes nitrogen retention in the muscle cell which in turn
2. Promotes the muscle cell to synthesize and store more protein
3. It increases levels of the highly anabolic hormone IGF-1 in muscle tissue
4. And it leads to a significant increase in the amount of androgen receptors in muscle.
5. Nandrolone has been proven to improve endurance
6. Increase the number of red blood cells
7. And speed the rate of glycogen replenishment after strenuous physical activity
8. One trait people love about Nandrolone is its ability to reduce joint pain and soreness
9. This is because the drug increases the rate of collagen synthesis and increases bone mineral content
10. Shown to be a good drug for fat loss, Nandrolone can reduce the amount of fat under the skin and around the abdominal area
11. The amount lost, however, is dependant on dose, with higher dosages having the greatest overall effect
12. Nandrolone also has positive effects on the brain. It increases chemicals in the brain that promote aggressive behavior, which can improve both speed and power
13. Nandrolone aromatizes (converts to estrogen) slightly, but only at about 20% the rate of testosterone, so estrogenic side effects such as breast tissue growth in men (gynecomastia), fat gain and water retention are not major issues. Most who use Nandrolone seldom complain of androgenic side effects such as prostate enlargement, loss of hair and acne. Those who are worried about their cardio vascular health can use Nandrolone without fear; studies have shown that it does not negatively affect cholesterol.
Nandrolone is a good drug, but it is not perfect. With its chemical structure it acts directly on the receptor of the female sex hormone progesterone with a binding rate of 20% of the actual hormone.
Despite its low aromatizing rate, this can lead to breast growth in gyno-prone individuals. There is no need for panic though, because Tamoxifen Citrate can easily combat this reaction.
Elevated prolactin levels are also a side effect of Nandrolone usage, but there are readily available drugs like bromocriptine and cabergoline that activate the dopamine receptor to lower prolactin levels.
Testicular atrophy may be a problem from elevated prolactin as well. HCG (female hormone that acts like LH when introduced into the male body) used during the cycle can possibly remedy or prevent the condition.
Probably the worst effect Nandrolone has is on natural testosterone production: a single 100mg dose of Nandrolone causes complete nullification of testosterone levels, which remained suppressed for a month before returning to normal.
This can cause loss of sex drive, better known as the dreaded "Deca dick." The best solution to this problem is to always use at least a 2:1 ratio of testosterone with Nandrolone.
