Recommended Dose Of Deca Durabolin

An anabolic steroid that was originally developed to treat individuals diagnosed with muscle wasting diseases, Deca Durabolin or Nandrolone Decanoate has came a long way to become the second-best known injectable anabolic androgenic steroid after Testosterone. Best described as a long acting compound with the decanoate ester facilitated with a slow release time of 3-4 weeks, Deca was also used as a progestin-based contraceptive and is prescribed medically for treating severe health complications like HIV/AIDS, osteoporosis, and health conditions that require immune system enhancements.

This is primarily due to the fact that Nandrolone Decanoate is one of the very few drugs that have the potential of stimulating appetite, improve muscle growth and bone density increasing the production of red blood cells. Furthermore, this steroid can cure joint problems that are commonly experienced by some bodybuilders and athletes during strenuous workouts. Since Deca doesn't get broken into Dihydrotestosterone, athletes don't experience common side effects of steroids on skin, scalp, and prostate. Moreover, this steroid is easy on the liver and can stimulate enhancements in the levels of recuperation time between workouts, protein synthesis, and nitrogen retention.

Used both as an off-season and a pre-contest drug, this anabolic androgenic steroid has an oral bioavailability of 2.24 percent and is commonly injected through intramuscular injections. Deca Durabolin has the anabolic/androgenic ratio of 125:37 and the chemical name of 19-nor-androst-4-en-3-one-17beta-ol. This steroid has an active life of 14-16 days and is detectable over a period of 16-18 months.

The recommended dose of Deca Durabolin for male athletes is 2mg per pound of body weight or 250–500mg per week for 8-12 weeks. Some athletes however administer this steroid in low doses at 200mg per week or as high as 400mg per week while female athletes on the other hand use this steroid in weekly doses of 50-150mg for 4-7 weeks.
