Educating and safeguarding against
the abuse of anabolic steroids

Deca Steroids

Deca steroids are one of the most popularly used anabolic steroids of all time and have been so for generations. In most cases deca steroids refer to the drug Deca-Durabolin, formally known as Nandrolone Decanoate. While this high class of anabolic steroid is often simply called “Deca” this label isn’t entirely accurate due to “Deca” or Decanoate being an attached ester, not the actual drug. There is actually a few deca steroids available; there are even drugs of a non-anabolic steroidal nature that use this ester; several of them but it is without question Nandrolone Decanoate that carries with it the most popularity among all the deca steroids.

Understanding the Decanoate Ester in Deca Steroids:

The decanoate ester belongs to a class known as a decanoic acid, a type of fatty acid which provides a very long half-life regardless of the drug it is attached to. You guessed it, when we attach this ester to an anabolic steroid its detection time is also of a very high nature; deca steroids carry with them some of the longest lasting detection times of any anabolic steroid on the market.

Deca Steroids of the Nandrolone Form:

Like testosterone, Nandrolone is found in every human being; that is correct, our bodies naturally produce this hormone. Further and as it pertains to the interest at hand, this powerful hormone has the ability to add lean muscle tissue quite unlike many other hormones; even more exciting is this hormones ability to block the muscle wasting hormone cortisol. As it pertains to supplementation of the hormone, this drug is also available with a faster/shorter attached ester known as phenylpropionate but most will find the deca steroids to be more efficient than their counterparts.

Deca Steroids & Testosterone:

/Beyond Deca-Durabolin type anabolics the decanoate ester is sometimes combined to the testosterone molecule, usually as a part of Sustanon-250 most commonly. This form of testosterone can be found alone and used as a single ester but it is not highly advised nor sought after. There are many other single estered testosterones that have been proven to be far more effective and efficient. If you desire to use deca steroids of a testosterone nature you will be best served doing so as part of a testosterone mix.

Deca Steroids & Use:

Deca steroids have proven to be some of the best anabolic steroids available but as there is as with all performance enhancing drugs there is a method you need to understand to reap the highest reward. Decanoate is a very long lasting drug as discussed meaning it remains in our system for a very long time even after use is stopped. Further, we understand the importance of proper therapy after we end any anabolic steroid cycle, commonly called PCT. To reap the most successful reward we must promote recovery after our cycle and when our cycle contained any various deca steroids we must take note. The most effective means is to end use of all deca steroids approximately 4 weeks before the cycles end and to end the final four weeks with only fast acting anabolics. By doing so we have allowed time for the deca steroids to start clearing our system, brought forth the time we can start PCT to an earlier date and highly promoted recovery. This is the name of the game, not only when it comes to anabolic steroid use but the muscle and performance game as a whole; recovery. Without recovery you’re only beating your head against the wall.
