Deca profile
Deca is the abbreviated name for Deca Durabolin, a drug made by Organon containing the steroid compound nandrolone decanoate. Deca has been around for a long time in bodybuilding circles because of its powerful effects and its relatively low side effects. Besides giving its users huge gains in strength and mass, it is has also been reported to repair damaged joints.
Deca usage and dosage
Because of the decanoate ester attached to it, Deca does not need to be injected constantly. The recommended dose of this steroid is at around 2 mg per pound of body weight. That is about 200 mg weekly of Deca Durabolin for beginners. More experienced steroid users would probably increase this dose to up to 600 mg a week.
Deca side effects
Deca Durabolin is known to be a relatively safe drug because of its low rate of aromatization. Some side effects that users need to watch out for are acne, balding, gynocomastia, virilization in women, low natural testosterone in men and erectile dysfunction.
Deca availability
Because of Deca’s popularity, it is both in high demand and high supply. An individual ampule of Deca can run up to $10 on the black market. A 10 ml bottle of 200 ml doses can run between $75 and $100.
Deca research
In medical circles, Deca Durabolin is used to treat AIDs patients and others patients who suffer from muscle-wasting diseases. It has also been researched to treat people recovering from surgery on their knees among others. Its use as a steroid and the effects of that use has also been studied extensively.
