Nandrolone Decanoate, also known as 19 Nortestosterone, is a product by Hilma Biocare. It has a similar structural composition to testosterone but lacks a carbon atom at the 19th position. When introduced to the body, it binds to progestin receptors. This makes it one of the most powerful steroids available for body-building and performance-enhancing purposes.
Athletes can use Nandrolone Decanoate to increase lean muscle mass, strength, and oxygenation of blood cells. This, in turn, leads to faster body regeneration. Additionally, it can act as a painkiller in the ligament areas and joints.

Effects of taking
Nandrolone decanoate is one of the most powerful muscle-building and strength-boosting steroids available.
- Explosive muscle growth;
- Increases your red blood cell count;
- Increases the immune system;
- Nandrolone decanoate has therapeutic benefits for the joints;

- Promote Enhanced IGF-1 Production;
- Increases Collagen Synthesis.
In one cycle you can gain under 8kg (16 lbs) of muscle mass with minimal rollback phenomenon.
The course of taking Nandrolone Decanoate (Retabolil) for bodybuilders
This drug acts rather slowly. The anabolic effect during a course of retabolil unfolds gradually, while there is a significant, but not drastic growth of muscle mass. It follows that the course of nandrolone should be longer compared to other anabolic drugs. When equivalent doses and the same course length are used, testosterone causes about twice as much weight gain. However, testosterone is characterized by a more pronounced rebound phenomenon.
The beginning and the end of the course refer to the first and the last injections of nandrolone.
- A course of nandrolone usually lasts 8-10 weeks, and it is not uncommon for performance athletes to use it for up to six months, gradually increasing the dosage.
- The course of nandrolone is recommended with mandatory use of testosterone in order to avoid progestin effects and consequences of low testosterone (low libido, weak erection).
- Nandrolone injections are usually given once a week. Given the activity period of 15 days, there is no need to give 2 injections of Retabolol per week. But if the weekly volume of injections is large, it is often split into two or three injections.
- The recommended dose of nandrolone is 200 mg or more per week, and acquaintance with this drug should begin with the lower dosages. A conservative approach will allow you to evaluate the effect of the drug on your body, avoiding possible problems. The maximum is 600 mg per week, but along with increasing the dose the risk of side effects grows. You can get better results if you do 2 courses intermittently at reasonable doses, rather than one course at high doses.
- Do not do a course longer than 8 weeks without additional drugs. Chorionic gonadotropin should be used for long courses. If no hCG has been used on a long course, it should be taken at the end of the course before the SCT, but not on the SCT itself.
- For the elimination of progesterone activity, it is necessary to include bromocriptine, starting from the second and finishing 2-3 weeks after the final injection of nandrolone. It is taken at 1.25 mg, twice a day. Instead of bromocriptine, it is preferable to use the more modern cabergoline at 0.25 mg every fourth day during the whole course and 2-3 weeks afterward.
- In addition, to restore the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is used from the beginning of the last week of the course and ends in 2-4 weeks after it, 50-100 mg with gradual withdrawal. Tamoxifen is not recommended because it increases sensitivity and expands the progesterone receptor population.
- To suppress prolactin production and to reduce progestin activity, Winstrol can be included in the course from the second to the last week.
- Testosterone boosters can be used instead of gonadotropin, but it is less effective.
- For maximum effect, take a complex of sports nutrition for gaining muscle mass and follow a diet for gaining muscle mass.
The retabolil course should be coordinated with a specialist.
Side Effects
The most common adverse reactions attributed to the Nandrolone Decanoate are acne, temporary testosterone reproduction shutdown, raised Low-density cholesterol levels (LDL), increased prolactin level, and potency (high doses).
It has been observed that nandrolone can bind to progestin receptors (approximately 20% of the administered substance), this is due to the deleted carbon atom in the 19th position. Almost all 19-nor anabolic steroids exhibit progestin activity.
In addition, Retabolil has caused the following side effects in studies:
- Headache - 20%;
- Rhinitis (nasal discharge) - 15%;
- Back pain - 15%;
- Rash - 10%.
Compatibility with other drugs
Nandrolone Decanoate shows excellent results and can be safely applied with long esters and HGH. Avoid the consumption of Tamoxifen, Trenbolone, or Oxymetholone when using Nandrolone Decanoate.
