Durabolin is the commercial name given to the steroid compound nandrolone phenylpropionate. This steroid is an injectable steroid.
The properties of this steroid are comparable to those shown in Deca-Durabolin, this uses nandrolone decanoate, which is slower acting. The main difference between the 2 injectable preparations of nandrolone is how fast nandrolone goes through into the blood. With nandrolone decanoate, release time from the moment one has injected is around 3 weeks, where as nandrolone phenylpropionate is only lively for around 1 week. This gives Deca-Durabolin the advantage of less frequent injections, one every three weeks compared to one every week with Durabolin.
Nandrolone phenylpropionate was first described in 1957 and became a prescription medication short after. Originally it was intended for use in pre and post operative lean mass retention, osteoporosis, advanced breast cancer, treatment of severe trauma and burns, but by the 1970’s the FDA had limited its intended uses in medicine to treatment of advanced breast cancer and osteoporosis.
This steroid is esteemed amongst bodybuilders and athletes as it is capable of enhancing strength as well as lean mass gains. This is done without major androgenic as well as estrogenic side effects.
