DYNABOLON
Substance: nandrolone undecanoate
Along with Anadur, Deca-Durabolin, and
Durabolin, this is an-other steroid containing the substance nandrolone.
Dynabolon is a favorite among athletes since it brings good results with
few side effects. Although it is often compared to "Deca", its
effect is mg per mg comparable or slightly less. The reason is that
Dynabolon is slightly androgenic with an anabolic effect, thus it
strongly promotes the protein synthesis. The increased androgenic
com-ponent helps the athlete achieve a good strength increase and an
accelerated regeneration. Those who have had good results with Deca will
usually respond even better to Dynabolon. Athletes re-port a distinct,
quickly effective, solid gain in muscles, which goes hand in hand with a
significant gain in strength. The in-crease in body weight and the
improved strength are the result of the water retention in tissues and
joints. Dynabolon does not strongly aromatize in dosages below 4
ml/week. Dynabolon is effective for 1-2 weeks, thus requiring more
frequent injections than Deca. Bodybuilders who work with this compound
usually inject it twice a week. The minimum dosage is 2ml/week. A weekly
dosage of 4 ml (equal to 322 mg) is usually sufficient for most athletes
to achieve satisfactory results. This requires the injection of 2 ml (equal
to 161 mg or 2 ampules) twice weekly. Higher dosages would certainly
bring even better gains but often go hand in hand with distinct water
retention. Such dosages also aromatize so strongly that antiestrogens
must be taken to main-tain the quality of the muscles. Women do well
with 1 ml/week and rarely show virilization symptoms if the compound is
not taken for more than six weeks. Female athletes rarely use Dynabolon
since they normally prefer Durabolin, which has a shorter duration of
effectiveness.
The side effects in men are quite rare and usually occur only in
sensitive persons' or when high dosages are taken. Possible side effects
such as high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol lev-els, as well as
acne or gynecomastia usually disappear without treatment after use of
the product is discontinued. The blackmarket price is between $15 and
$20 on the black market. The red label on the ampule is branded into the
glass and can be felt. It cannot be removed by fingernail or be
scratched off.
