Nandrolone decanoate, also known as “Deca” or 19-nortestosterone, is an androgen and anabolic steroid which is used in the form of esters such as decanoate and phenylpropionate.
Nandrolone esters are used in the treatment of anemias, cachexia, osteoporosis, breast cancer, and for other indications.
Does nandrolone increase testosterone?
How Can You Benefit From Nandrolone?
Deca preferentially stimulates growth of skeletal muscle and lean body mass that may provide benefit in reducing components of metabolic syndrome.
Moreover, preliminary work on nandrolone has suggested a potential role in the treatment of joint healing.
- Gain in muscle mass

Steroids help healing, in part, because they lessen the activity of the immune system. Your body fights infection and germs with white blood cells and other chemicals that can lead to inflammation.
By reducing this immune activity, steroids can lessen inflammation and tissue damage, as well. The downside is that it can raise your risk of infection.
