Along with Anadur, Deca Durabolin, and Durabolin, this is another
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 milligram per
milligram stronger. The reason is that it is slightly androgenic
with an anabolic effect, thus it strongly promotes the protein
synthesis. The increased androgenic component 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 report a distinct, quickly effective,
solid gain in muscles, which goes hand in hand with a significant
gain in strength. The increase 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 anti estrogens must be taken to
maintain 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.
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 levels,
as well as acne or gynecomastia usually disappear without treatment
after use of the product is discontinued. Dynabolon is tolerated
quite well by the liver so that increased liver values occur only in
rare instances. Unlike Deca it should not be taken if a hepatic
disease or dysfunction exists. Dynabolon is hardly found on the
American black market while in Italy and France the versions of
Theramex are quite popular. In Germany the French Dynabolon of
Theramex Company, Monaco, is often available. In small numbers,
through various channels, these products then reach the U.S. This is
a small yellow box which always contains only one ampule. As with
all French steroids, the expiration date is printed on an
extra-label which is attached to the back of the package. In
addition, the ampule is shrink-wrapped and can be opened by removing
a small piece of aluminum. The ampule itself contains 1 ml
neutralized olive oil with 80.5 mg nandrolone undecanoate and
usually costs 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. So far, no fakes of
Dynabolon are available.
