Deca-Durabolin is an extremely long acting compound, and a derivative of 19-nortestosterone. It is a high anabolic steroid with low androgenic properties. In higher quantities, it aromatizes, but not at the rapidity of testosterone’s or other high androgenic compounds. The drug itself is effective for about two weeks. Keywords: Deca-Durabolin Article Body: Deca-Durabolin is the name given to Organon’s injectable steroid medication instigated in 1962. Deca-Durabolin is an extremely long acting compound, and a derivative of 19-nortestosterone. It is a high anabolic steroid with low androgenic properties. In higher quantities, it aromatizes, but not at the rapidity of testosterone’s or other high androgenic compounds. The drug itself is effective for about two weeks. For a long time, Deca-Durabolin has been the drug of choice for muscle-builders and power athletes due to its capability to swiftly add muscle, lessen body fat levels and alleviate joint troubles. Deca-Durabolin is also believed to have less uninvited fallouts as compared to the other anabolic steroids. Also called ‘Deca’, Deca-Durabolin works by causing the muscle fiber to augment retention of the nitrogen element. The productive nitrogen stability is necessary for augmented muscle development as muscle cells make use of nitrogen to boost muscle tissue synthesis. The highly anabolic effect of Deca-Durabolin is related to a quite androgenic constituent with the intention that a good gain in muscle mass and power is obtained. Simultaneously, the majority of athletes notice significant water retention that, no doubt, is not as distinguishable as that with injectable androgenic hormones but which in large quantities can also cause a smooth and watery appearance. This is particularly suited to those jocks who complain pain in different parts including shoulder, elbow, and knee. Deca-Durabolin also blockades the cortisone receptors therefore letting less cortisone to arrive at the muscle cells and the connective tissue cells. Musclemen use Deca according to their needs for muscle increase and in preparation for a competition. Deca-Durabolin is believed to be the most popular of all steroids. It is an oil based injectable, which is available in 100 mg/cc containers. It produces very few side effects. The common fallouts include minor acne, higher blood pressure levels that causes a longer time period for blood to clot, headaches and increased libido. The other effects include leukopnia, nausea, symptoms resembling a peptic ulcer, skin problem, edema (water retention), fervor, wakefulness, quivers, vomiting, diarrhea, high blood pressure, extended blood clotting time, increase in libido. Females may suffer menstrual irregularities, post-menopausal bleeding, breasts swelling, hoarseness or deepening of the voice, enlargement of the clitoris, and water retention. In case of men, the common side effects are impotence, chronic priapism, epididymitis, inhibition of testicular function, oligospermia and bladder irritability. Deca-Durabolin is suited, even above average, to increase muscle mass since it advances the protein synthesis and concurrently leads to water retention. The most favorable quantity for this purpose lies between 200 and 600 mg per week. Scientific investigation has revealed that best results can be attained by the ingestion of 2 mg/pound body weight. Those who take a quantity below 200 mg/week will typically feel only a very light anabolic effect which, however, step-ups with a higher quantity.
