Understanding Nandrolone
Nandrolone is unique because the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which usually converts testosterone to the more potent DHT, converts nandrolone into a less potent compound. This makes nandrolone less active in the skin, scalp, and prostate, providing a lower androgen effect in these areas. Consequently, for those concerned about these effects, Deca is a preferable option.
Muscle Growth and Performance
Nandrolone binds more effectively to androgen receptors in muscle tissue than testosterone, although it only delivers about half the muscle-building results per milligram. This is due to its reduced effectiveness in non-receptor-mediated muscle growth mechanisms.
Sexual Function and Progesterone
Nandrolone may affect nerve cells, especially those related to erectile function, potentially causing sexual performance issues when used alone. Combining it with testosterone can help mitigate these effects.
As a progestin, nandrolone can influence estrogen levels. While moderate use may lower estrogen by reducing natural testosterone levels, it can still cause gynecomastia ('gyno') in some individuals. Additionally, high levels of progestogenic steroids may diminish sex drive in male bodybuilders, though reactions vary.
Aromatization and Inhibition
Contrary to popular belief, even small doses of Deca can significantly inhibit LH production, similar to testosterone. Nandrolone can slightly aromatize to estrogen, but this process may not be entirely blocked by aromatase inhibitors like Cytadren, suggesting other enzymes might be involved.
Dosage and Use
Nandrolone is moderately effective at doses of 400 mg per week. Its long half-life makes it unsuitable for short, alternating cycles but ideal for more traditional cycles, offering a built-in tapering effect following the last injection.
