DURABOLIN
Substance: nandrolone phenylpropionate
Durabolin is very similar to the popular
Deca-Durabolin. Durabolin must be injected frequently and in regular
inter-vals. The substance nandrolone-phenylpropionate quickly gets into
the blood, where it remains active for two to three days. Athletes who
hope for optimal results inject Durabolin every third day, or even every
two days. The dosage is around 50-100 mg per injec-tion, or a total of
150-300 mg/week. Those who have access to the 50 mg version should take
advantage of it since it is less expensive than the 25 mg version, which
is normally more easily available. in addition, the 1-2 ml injections
are more pleasant than the 2-4 ml. Durabolin has a distinct anabolic
effect which assists the protein synthesis and allows the protein to be
stored in the muscle cell in large amounts. This is combined with a
moderate androgenic com-ponent which stimulates the athlete's
regeneration and helps main-tain the muscle mass during a diet. It shows
that Durabolin stores much less water in the body than Deca-Durabolin.
For this reason, Durabolin is more suitable for a preparation for a
competition while Deca should be given preference for the buildup of
strength and muscle mass. Durabolin, however, can be used for this
purpose as well. The gains are fewer and slower than with Deca but of a
higher quality and remain, for the most part, after discontinuing the
com-pound. A stack suitable for this purpose would be, e.g. 56 mg
Durabolin every 2 days, 50 mg Testosterone propionate every days, and 20
mg Winstrol tablets every day.
The side effects of Durabolin are few. Water retention, high blood
pressure, an el-evated estrogen level, and virilization symptoms occur
less often with Durabolin than with Deca-Durabolin. Female athletes
therefore take Durabolin in weekly intervals since, due to its short
duration of effect, no undesirable concentration of androgen takes
place. They achieve good results with 50 mg Durabolin/week, 50 mg
Testosterone propionate every 8 -10 days, and 8-10 mg Winstrol/day, or
10 mg Oxandrolone/day. Three to four day intervals between the relative
injections are to be observed. Durabolin is one of the safest non-toxic
steroids offering satisfactory results. Durabolin has no negative effect
on the liver function so it can even be taken in cases of liver disease.
Side effects occur only in rare cases and in persons who are extremely
sensitive. Virilization symptoms in women such as huskiness, deep voice,
hirsutism, acne, and increased libido are possible but occur only rarely
if reasonable dosages are taken at reasonable intervals. Men usually
experience no symptoms with Durabolin. Since the release of
gonadotropins in the hypophysis is inhibited, there is a chance that the
body's own testosterone production in a male athlete will be lower when
the compound is taken over a prolonged time and in excessive doses.
The main disadvantages of Durabolin, for most athletes, consist of its
poor availability on the black market, the fact that frequent
in-jections are needed, and the high cost, three ampules of 25 mg each,
costs approx. $24-36- on the black market. American Durabolin is
available in 25 mg/ml, 5 ml vials, and 50 mg/ml in 2 vials.
