Nandrolone Decanoate: Basic information and mechanisms of action

Nandrolone is one of the earliest and most commonly included drug in the regimens of bodybuilders, and can oftentimes be found in the regimen of athletic individuals as well.

The item is structurally characterized by the removal of the carbon atom located at the 19th carbon point, giving it the technical moniker of a 19-nortestosterone. This greatly reduces both the androgenic properties of the agent, and the amount of it that is partially processed into estrogen with its metabolism.

This means it can be a very useful agent for mass-building, particularly during more gradual periods of lean tissue accrual and strength building.

This occurs through the binding of the Nandrolone chemical with androgen receptors in select cells to change their signaling within them. This then leads to effects like increased protein and nitrogen production and retention, leading to overall greater lean mass and associated gains in force and power production. The magnitude of this change is, of course, predicated on good dietary and exercise practice alongside use. This includes training that includes resistance training, and diets with sufficiently high calories and protein. The next mediating factor will be dose and length of use.

Dosing

While the amounts used by athletes will vary based on gender and prior experience with these agents, the most commonly reported amounts of Nandrolone Decanoate taken by male users is between 200 to 600 milligrams weekly. Although amounts exceeding this has been reported too.

Females, on the other hand, would be advised to steer clear of Nandrolone, due to the potential for virilizing effects. Nevertheless, female users have been reported to commonly use 50 to 100 milligrams each week for mass and force capacity increases.

This is usually administers through a single weekly, intramuscular injection, and use is normally continued for a period of 12 to 24 weeks. Although, again, longer periods have been reported by some.

This use is said to help provide long-lasting and sustainable gains in progress, that persist even after your period of use has ended, making it the attractive choice that it is today, and has been since the mid 20th century.
