Deca is a common steroid used in multiple stacks, by bodybuilders of all ages and performance levels. It is highly available compared to some steroids, and as a result, it is used quite frequently. It is a favorite of beginner users, due to the fact that more experienced users might have it lying around, available for consumption or sale. Deca does deliver some serious results. If it is your first cycle, you’re going to grow on just about anything. It’s likely you will add 10 to 15 pounds to your frame if using Nandralone alone for your first cycle. However, there will be substantial side effects of which you should be aware.
Nandralone Deconate has a reputation for being “safe”, but the reality is that the side effects rival that of most other anabolic steroids. Deca spikes estrogen levels in a major way. This causes gynecomastia in many users, even on the first cycle. Water retention is another common side effect reported by users. Male pattern baldness, if there is a predisposition, occurs frequently in young male users. For most users, acne is an issue as well. For users under the age of 20, the acne can be very intense, with the possibility of pock marking which can be permanent. Night sweats round out the list of common side effects, except for one:
Male erectile dysfunction. Deca is highly reputed for its good gains and bad side effects, none more noteworthy than this one. It causes an inability in previously healthy and able males to attain or maintain an erection. Even after discontinuing use of Deca, the condition often persists for some time. Many men attempt to solve this problem not by re-evaluating their steroid stack, but by adding more drugs to the mix. They’ll quickly order Viagra or Cialis online in a panic, hoping everything will just “work out”. This is rarely the case, and often leads to further complications from drug interactions.
Instead, you should decide initially that a “Deca-only” steroid cycle is a bad idea. Run testosterone with Nandralone to ensure you do not suffer from erectile dysfunction. Or, choose a compound like equipoise to use instead of Nandralone Deconate. You’ll see the same results (or better!) and less of the toxic side effects. Deca should be reserved for use in small amounts as part of a bigger stack, and only used by more experienced users who have gotten past that initial beginner gains stage.
