Alpha-Nandro D ™

Nandrolone Decanoate is the popular preparation that takes the Nandrolone hormone and adds a Decanoate ester chain. This ester chain is attached during the manufacturing process and it serves dual purposes. The main purpose is to make the hormone oil soluble, so it can be put in an ampule or multi-dose vial. The second purpose of this ester chain is to slow-release the steroid by keeping Decanoate from interacting with androgen receptors until the ester chain is cleaved off by enzymes in your body. Since Nandrolone Decanoate cannot attach to an androgen receptor until enzymes in your body have cleaved off the decanoate ester, it causes the steroid to slow-release into your system over many days. For medical use, the ester’s main function is to allow the hormone to be injected only once every 3 weeks. However, bodybuilders may inject Nandrolone Decanoate weekly or as often as every three days. 

Nandrolone should only cause adverse side effects when used by itself, or when the amount is too high for the amount of testosterone being used, the main problem with Nandrolone Decanoate is that in the absence of enough testosterone to act as the substrate for dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a vital part of your erection, the body will get flooded with much weaker nandrolone metabolites that will out-compete your body’s own production of DHT. Injecting deca by itself will cause a flooding of receptors meant for DHT, with weaker hormone that will not impart the proper signal to allow for a proper erection. This is called “Deca Dick.”  Although nandrolone has some limited interaction with both the aromatase and 5-reductase enzymes, the metabolites resulting from these interactions do not cause the same extreme side effects as Testosterone and Methandrostenolone. Therefore, Nandrolone Decanoate is basically a synergetic steroid that work well with all other bulking steroids. Allowing you to bulk more without more side-effects.
