Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is often used as an alternative to Deca-Durabolin and Nandrolone Decanoate. It’s mainly used as a pharmaceutical, or a steroid hormone, or an ingredient used in the medicine Anabolin.
How It Works?
The drugs acts as potent anabolic and helps quickly amass protein in the body’s cells, and keeps those proteins stored in muscle in very large amounts. If the person is trying to cut fat, the drug uses it androgenic effect to get the body stimulated and to bring back tissue for muscle rehabilitation.
Physical Properties
In its powder form, the Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is whitish. Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is a nearly white crystalline substance. The drug is a C18 steroid with both anabolic and androgenic properties. However, the drug is marketed as an anabolic steroid.
History
Nandrolone Phenylpropionate was first introduced in 1957 in the United States. The American pharmaceutical company Organon introduced the drug, but it did not enter prescription circulation until 1961. Organon also produced and marketed Deca-Durabolin. Deca-Durabolin had been marketed first, but Nandrolone Phenylpropionate was developed prior to the release of Deca.
The use of Nandrolone Phenylpropionate declined as a pharmaceutical product because its cousin Nandrolone Decanoate is more widely used. But as a performance enhancing drug, its use has escalated. Many bodybuilders tend to use a combination of
- Nandrolone Phenylpropionate
- Deca
- and Nandrolone derivatives
Clinical Usage
Traditionally the drug has been used to facilitate rebuilding muscle mass and has been used with people who suffer from debilitating diseases. It has also been used to facilitate tissue rebuilding in burn victims. It was also given to AIDS patients and other patients with immuno-deficiency disorders.
Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is administered by injection in an oil-based vehicle. The most common region for injection is usually in the gluteal muscle. The properties of Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is similar to Deca-Durabolin. However, don’t be confused; even though both drugs are similar in chemical properties and structure, they are not the same. However, Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is faster and releases into the blood stream quicker, and the drug is not as long-lasting, and typically remains in the bloodstream for about a week. The drug has low estrogenic activity and a moderate progestational activity.
Fast Acting Nandrolone
In a clinical setting, the drug is administered about once every two or three weeks. Due to its ability to rebuild tissue, it has a low level of androgenic activity. It gives a heightened nandrolone release twenty-four to forty-eight hours after an injection straight into the muscle.
Chemistry of the Drug
Sold in 25 mg or 50 mg and is dissolvable by oil or in ethanol. In this form, it is more easily hydrolyzed into the body. Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is an augmented form of nandrolone where the ester has been attached to the 17-beta hydroxyl group. It uses the Phenylpropionate as fast-acting ester. This is what makes is distinct from steroids similar to it. The ingredients are less polar than free steroids, and it absorbs more slowly from the place of the injection. It has a shorter ester. In the blood, ester is removed to give way to activity produced nandrolone.
