Deca Durabolin aka Nandrolone Decanoate is a very anabolic, moderate androgenic form of
nortestosterone that is commonly used drug to create lean muscle or to help save muscle during dieting. This is a longer lasting nandrolone than Durabolin so some water retention can occur with long term use and or dosages. Like most steroids, a positive nitrogen balance occurs with the use of Deca Durabolin, so a high protein intake is a must. Nitrogen in its bonded form is a part of protein/amino acids. Since nandrolone promotes nitrogen storage in muscle cells (a positive nitrogen balance) then the cell contains more protein for growth and repair than normal. Since nandrolone is moderately androgenic, good strength gains also resulted. Another positive result of nandrolone is that most users experience joint pain relief during cycles and suppressed cortisol, due to Deca Durabolins ability to block cortisol receptors. Dosages of the steroid Deca Duraboin over 400 mg weekly is known to cause more water retention. Women steroid cycles have been known to consist of nandrolones due to the lower androgenic/masculining effect. Although the dose they take needs to be signifigantly lower than that of a man.
