    Default Is nandrolone supplemented HRT right for you?

    Nandrolone decanoate, or “deca” is one of the most loved anabolic steroids in existence and for good reason! Moreover, it is extremely safe and even healthful when used properly and/or under a doctor’s supervision. Could it help you?

    IS NANDROLONE RIGHT FOR YOU?

    IMH doctor discuss how Anabolic Steroids combined with medical supervision can benefit patients

    WHAT IS NANDROLONE?
    Nandrolone is an Anabolic Steroid. Another name for Nandrolone is Deca-Durabolin. Androgenic Anabolic Steroids (AAS) are a group of chemically related structures derived from the male sex hormone, testosterone, developed to combat muscle wasting medical conditions such as trauma, burn, and chronically ill patients who spend long periods of time bedridden during treatment have been demonstrated to benefit from AAS administration. Lately, there has been much interest in the use of anabolic steroids in the recovery process from orthopedic surgical procedures such as joint replacement surgery and shoulder repair that are associated with prolonged and difficult rehabilitation.

    PHYSICAL MEDICINE & REJUVENATION PROGRAM FOR PROFESSIONAL ATHLETESLEARN MORE
    They have potent anabolic effects on the musculoskeletal system including an increase in lean body mass, a dose-related hypertrophy of muscle fibers resulting in an increase in muscle strength and mass, not to mention improved bone mineral density.

    WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
    Men and women are constantly in a state of muscle loss/atrophy as we age. The only way to prevent this is regular activity and weight training on a regular basis. Most people do not do this. Over the years, patients gradually become weaker due to the loss of muscle mass and flexibility. Additionally, age leads to the accumulation of joint dysfunction/damage from falls, injuries, osteoporosis, and fractures. Joint replacement surgery has become refined and patients enjoy much better results than even 10 years ago. Recovery from joint surgery can be rigorous and difficult for most.

    Nandrolone is safe and effective when used properly under a physician’s supervision.
    It is important to note that most of the “bad press” that surrounds the use of AASs is based on the inappropriate, non-physician-directed use of black market AAS products. Nandrolone is safe and effective when used properly under a physician’s supervision. Side effects are rare and mostly benign and reversible on cessation of the medication. We recommend that patients be on Testosterone while taking Nandrolone.

    MUSCLE WASTING
    The key point in surgical or injury recovery is muscle wasting(atrophy) and malnutrition. Any injury, surgical or accident, results in muscle wasting around the joint/injury. The injury results in decreased activity, which further promotes atrophy. With injury/pain, and pain medications(opiates), there is a decrease in appetite leading to inadequate calories and protein. This further exacerbates muscle wasting. The net effect is a prolonged and painful recovery. When a patient has a lot of pain, loss of range-of-motion, and/or weakness, it is hard for them to stick to the rehab protocol recommended by their physicians. The longer the patient has such difficulty, the more likely they will have incomplete recovery and a less satisfactory outcome. Incomplete recovery means chronic weakness, loss of balance, greater risk of falls, and fractures.

    DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT OF LOW T

    We use physical exam and blood test results to determine if you are a possible candidate for Testosterone Replacement Therapy at Innovative Men’s Health clinic. TRT may help to improve your health and quality of life.
    LEARN MORE
    The ability of nandrolone to preferentially stimulate muscle growth formed the basis of its use in the treatment of anorexia and cachexia in patients with chronic medical disorders such as chronic renal failure and HIV. In these patients, administration of nandrolone has been shown to increase lean body mass as well as muscle mass and strength.

    OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS OF TESTOSTERONE AND NANDROLONE
    Hypogonadism (Inadequate production of Testosterone) has been shown to be associated with dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in hypogonadal men improves these risk factors leading, in some patients, to complete resolution of their metabolic syndrome. Indeed, an increase in lean body mass and muscle mass with the systemic administration of nandrolone could improve body composition and augment testosterone’s effects in preventing and reversing metabolic syndrome and the risk of type 2 diabetes in hypogonadal men.

    WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR NANDROLONE THERAPY?

    Patients who are planning to have rotator cuff/shoulder surgery or total joint replacement surgery, especially of the hips or knees.

    Patients who have had any condition that lead to prolonged inactivity and significant atrophy of muscles. HIV/AIDs and Multiple Trauma injuries (car or work accident), to name a few.

    Patients with chronic muscle wasting conditions such as Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis and ALS, among others. Parkinson’s patients will probably benefit as well but the data is still sparse on this sub-group.

    Patients with chronic pain can be difficult to treat with standard therapy. Pain prevents activities which leads to muscle atrophy → causes less support for the joints/back → leads to more pain and dysfunction → and a vicious cycle develops including weight gain. An increase in visceral fat leads to higher levels of inflammatory markers/pain. AAS use improves muscle strength, stimulates bone strengthening, and improves the repair of soft tissues (muscle, ligament and tendons). As a result, even patients with long term chronic painful conditions could benefit from a course of AAS/Nandrolone.

    MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR MEN

    The amount of body fat most men carry is predetermined by a “set point.” Factors like genes, hormones, exercise frequency, and nutrition determine body weight (fat) range. We know how to reset a man’s set point to a new, healthy level. As doctors, we can offer proven, non-invasive medical options when it comes to developing an effective weight-loss plan for men in Greater Seattle area.
    LEARN MORE

    Patients with visceral fat levels >10. We measure this in the office using InBody machine (part of our Medical Weight Loss Plan for Men). Visceral fat, referred to as “brown fat” or “bad fat” by some, surrounds the intestines in the abdominal cavity; this is different from “love handles”. For example, we now know that visceral fat acts like its own organ by pumping out hormones and inflammatory substances. Storing excess fat around the abdominal organs increases production of pro-inflammatory chemicals, also called cytokines, which leads to inflammation. At the same time, it interferes with hormones that regulate appetite, weight, mood and brain function. Nandrolone has been shown to be very effective in targeting visceral fat. Visceral fat levels greater than 10 are a strong risk factor for vascular events (stroke/heart attack), metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cancer, sleep issues, depression, hypertension, morbid obesity and dementia.

    Patients who have had significant muscle loss over time, and Testosterone therapy is not adequate to get a more rapid improvement. Testosterone builds muscle well but has its limitations. Nandrolone has 40% better muscle building capacity and is a fantastic addition to Testosterone with a very low side effect profile.

    Patients with metabolic syndrome. Diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and elevated cholesterol usually meet one or more of the above criteria.

    For the record I have used deca with trt before and am doing so currently but not under recommendation of my doctor. In any case just judging from how I feel be been very happy with it unless I try to raise the dose too much and then I do have ED issues at times but easily corrected. I’m one who is very sensitive to small doses of AAS compared to other users so my experience may not be the typical average person’s experience.

    As a rule, I run test double the amount of Deca that I use. This cuts down on sides.

    I try to do the same. Sometimes it ends up overwhelming the test though for me still.

    I love me some npp. When I'm off I know I'm off. Shoulder and wrist pain comes back within 2 weeks. Honestly I think deca/npp should be part of trt.

    I’m using deca currently with barely 50mg of tren and 100mg test cyp and I just ran into some ED and libido issues so I have to cut back. It’s not the best idea using two 19-nor together but I like to experiment. I feel great though otherwise.

    100mg deca**. I don’t have caber and usually don’t need it but I’d rather stay at a dose that doesn’t require it. Just easier and cheaper.
