Nandrolone-P is an injectable anabolic steroid composed of Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, which is chemically related to the male hormone. The key difference from Nandrolone Decanoate lies in the speed at which Nandrolone is released into the bloodstream. Bodybuilders and athletes often prefer Nandrolone-P over Decanoate products to achieve muscle growth more rapidly. Nandrolone-P exhibits enhanced anabolic activity and reduced androgenic effects.
Nandrolone-P provides a potent anabolic effect, promoting protein synthesis and allowing significant protein storage in muscle cells. It also possesses a moderate androgenic aspect that encourages recovery and aids in preserving muscle mass during dieting. Compared to Nandrolone Decanoate, Nandrolone-P retains significantly less water in the body and is favored during competition preparations. However, Nandrolone-P has the tendency to persist in the body for an extended period; traces of Nandrolone Phenylpropionate can remain detectable in human urine for up to 18 months.
To maintain stable blood levels, Nandrolone-P requires frequent injections at regular intervals. The Nandrolone Phenylpropionate quickly enters the bloodstream and stays active for two to three days. The typical dosage for men is 300-600 mg per week, while for women it is 50-100 mg, administered every 2-3 days.
For bulking, Nandrolone-P is commonly combined with Testosterone and potent oral steroids like Oxymetholone or Methandrostenolone. During cutting cycles, Nandrolone-P is typically paired with other short-estered injectable anabolic steroids, along with oral DHT derivatives such as Stanozolol (Winstrol) or Oxandrolone (Anavar). A Nandrolone-P cycle typically lasts between 8 and 16 weeks, although it can be extended in certain situations.
The side effects of Nandrolone-P are generally less frequent compared to those associated with Nandrolone Decanoate.
Female athletes should adhere to much lower dosages due to the risk of virilization effects. The most common side effects of Nandrolone-P include water retention, high blood pressure, increased estrogen levels, oily skin, insomnia, diarrhea, and nausea, and in some cases, gynecomastia and sexual dysfunctions.
