What is Deca-Durabolin and what is it used for?
Deca-Durabolin is a clear, yellow, oily liquid containing 50 mg / ml of the active ingredient nandrolone decanoate. Nandrolone belongs to the group of medicines known as anabolic steroids or short anabolic steroids.
Deca-Durabolin is an anabolic steroid for injection. After Deca-Durabolin is injected into the muscle, nandrolone decanoate is slowly released from the oily solution into the blood, where it is converted into nandrolone by your body. In fact, nandrolone is the active ingredient. The decanoate is only included to give the medicine a lasting effect of three weeks.
Nandrolone is chemically closely related to the male sex hormone (testosterone). In men, testosterone causes the typical male characteristics (androgenic effect). In addition, it stimulates the formation of tissue protein (anabolic effect). Compared with testosterone, nandrolone has a stronger anabolic, but a weaker androgenic effect.
Nandrolone also helps to rebuild bone mass. Therefore, Deca-Durabolin is used to increase bone mass in the case of osteoporosis ( bone loss ). Osteoporosisoccurs mainly in postmenopausal women. It is characterized by the fact that the bones are brittle and break easily, and this causes discomfort such as back and bone pain. Treatment with Deca-Durabolin can increase bone mass and ease these symptoms.
Deca-Durabolin can be used to supplement certain therapies and dietary measures to treat muscle breakdown caused by certain diseases (lung disease, kidney disease, AIDS ).
