Nandrolone

Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid occurring naturally in the human body, albeit in small quantities. Nandrolone is most commonly sold commercially as its decanoate ester (Deca-Durabolin) and less commonly as a phenylpropionate ester (Durabolin). Nandrolone use is indirectly detectable in urine tests by testing for the presence of 19-norandrosterone, a metabolism product of this molecule. The International Olympic Committee has set a limit of 2 ng per ml of urine as the upper limit, beyond which an athlete is suspected of doping. more...

Urine analysis as a method of detecting nandrolone abuse has recently become somewhat controversial, following studies by the University of Aberdeen showing that the metabolite product can also show up in urine in quantities above the upper limit from a combination of high-protein diets utilising the legal nutritional supplement creatine and hard cardiovascular exercise. The reason for this unexpected result has not been determined. Another possible (though unlikely) reason for a false positive result is the consumption of beef from cattle treated with steroids including nandrolone (used in overturning the verdict against the bobsleigh racer, Lenny Paul). A final possible cause of incorrect urine test results is the prescence of metabolites from other anabolic steroids. However, as all such substances are also banned, this source is somewhat insignificant when interpreting the results of such a test. As a result of the numerous overturned verdicts, the testing procedure was reviewed by UK Sport in 2000.

Nandrolone binds to the androgen receptor to a greater degree than testosterone, but due to its inability to act on the muscle in ways unmediated by the receptor, has less overall effect on muscle growth. The drug is also unusual in that unlike most anabolic steroids, it is not broken down into the more reactive DHT by the enzyme 5α-reductase, but rather into a less effective product. As such, some of the negative effects associated with most such drugs are somewhat mitigated.

The positive effects of the drug include muscle growth, appetite stimulation and increased red blood cell production and bone density. Clinical studies have shown it to be effective in treating anaemia, osteoporosis and some forms of neoplasia including breast cancer, and also acts as a progestin-based contraceptive. For these reasons, nandrolone received FDA approval in 1983, and while sale is now restricted by the Controlled Substances Act, it remains available by prescription in most countries. In addition to legal production, Nandrolone is also extensively produced and used illegally by athletes and bodybuilders seeking an edge in professional competition.

Because nandrolone is not broken down into DHT, the deleterious effects common to most anabolic steroids on the scalp, skin, and prostate are lessened to a degree. The lack of alkylation on the 17α-carbon drastically reduces the drug's liver toxicity. Estrogenic effects resulting from reaction with aromatase are also mitigated as a result of the drug being a progestin, but effects such as gynaecomastia and reduced libido still occur in larger doses. Other side-effects can include erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular damage, as well as several ailments resulting from the drug's effect of lowering levels of luteinizing hormone through negative feedback.

From the makers of VIRALOID ...

Finally ... A Legit Replacement For METHYL 1 TEST

17-Halo-Methyl-Dianadrone

LEGAL for muscle hungry bodybuilders in all 50 states!

Amazing new androgenic/anabolic outperforms all Testosterone Boosting Compounds

You heard it right! There's a new, just released compound called 17-Halo-Methyl-Dianadrone that's so androgenic, so anabolic, and so anti-estrogenic the term "1-test" will become as obsolete as rotary phones.

Amazing Hydroxalation Process Turns Kitten Weak Natural Anabolics ... Into Potent Synthetic Acting Super Anabolics.

Here's what virtually no one knows. Back in the "heyday' of steroid research in Germany, during the late 1930's, the lowly yam would be responsible for all the undeserved attention on steroids.

It's true ... because within the hormonal make up of the yam, are compounds called "diostegins" that are "chemically", virtually identical to human testosterone! By having plenty of "raw material" to work with they are able to finally synthetically replicate testosterone ... and then of course, anabolic steroids.

However, during this time, a bio-chemist, Wolfgang Schmidst from the German research company I.G. Farben was experimenting with a similar natural anabolic, Smilax, which many people already know contains natural, yet weak anabolic constituents (although they are stronger than the yam). In addition to knowing Smilax contained stronger natural anabolic agents, Schmidts also knew that a process called "hydroxalation" would turn a weak natural anabolic compound into "something so potent" (as he put it, stated in recently discovered research papers from I.G. Farben) that it would embarrass the rest of the bio-chemists at I.G. Farben who were working on nandrolone. By the way, nandrolone is the oldest anabolic steroid, being first synthesized in 1934 by bio-chemists at I.G. Farben!

Hydroxalation ... the legal way to stay within the rules!

But the best news of all is, 7-Halo-Methyl-Dianadrone is completely legal, and is not Included as one of the many recently banned pro-hormones ... because it's not a pro-hormone! Thanks to the patent pending hydroxalation process, a complex bio-chemically re-arrangement of the hydrogen and oxygen molecules on the natural steroid ring structure of the smilax.

However, there are no additional synthetic "side-chains" attached. (This would be classified as a designer steroid because the synthetic side chain is added!)

Pretty darn clever, this Wolfgang Schmidst. So why is all this just coming to light after all these years? For one: after World War II, I.G. Farben Enterprises (which was the 4th Largest corporation in the world at the time, right behind General Motors and General Electric, was seized by American, Russian and British governments and much of the research was lost, stolen or destroy! (Check out I.G. Farben on the internet later.)

But fortunately, for literally millions of bodybuilders across America the research on 17-HD survived and was duplicated by the Vyotech research team and you're going to be very glad it was because not only will 7-Halo-Methyl-Dianadrone make you as big as a house, it will also keep you extremely lean and muscular due to its amazing anti-estrogenic properties!

Now you will have the best of both worlds ... Massive size and razor sharp cuts!

And 7-Halo-Methyl-Dianadrone works super fast because its powerful anabolic and anti-estrogenic properties kick in fast, within 30 minutes, for very noticeable "body comp", changes ... and then about 10 days later ... you start making dramatic gains.

So quick, make a mad dash to your favorite bodybuilding supplement store and ask for the new, just released 7-Halo-Methyl-Dianadrone so you will get bigger, badder and stronger!

Research indicates that there is a larger increase in Serum levels of free testosterone in the test group utilizing the 17-HD along with those in the comparative group that was administered 7 mg per day of Synthetic Anabolic. This compared to 6.51 times the increase in serum testosterone while using placebo.

This was concurrent with up to 2% reduction in body fat and an increase in lean muscle mass up to 11 pounds.

The study was a placebo controlled double blind double cross study.
