Nandrolone Phenylpropionate

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is an injectable anabolic preparation. The active substance is nandrolone, and the phenylpropionate ester makes one injection last about one week. Nandrolone is chemically related to the male hormone. Compared with testosterone, its anabolic activity is greater and its androgenic activity is lower. Animal bioassays showed this, and receptor binding studies explain it. Clinical use also confirms that nandrolone has low androgenicity. In humans, it has a nitrogen saving action. Metabolic studies established this effect on protein metabolism, and it is used in treatment where a protein deficiency exists, such as during chronic debilitating diseases and after major surgery and severe trauma. In these conditions, Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is a supportive adjunct to specific therapies and dietary measures. In women with disseminated mammary carcinoma, objective regressions lasting many months have been reported in selected cases. It has also been shown to relieve bone pain in patients with osteoporosis. Nandrolone decanoate, a nandrolone ester that acts in a similar way, has been shown to increase bone mineral content in these patients. Androgenic effects (e.g. virilisation) are relatively uncommon at the recommended dosages. Nandrolone lacks the C17alpha-alkyl group, which is associated with liver dysfunction and cholestasis.
