Stacking Deca Durabolin with peptides like TB-500 or GHRP-6 for healing effect

Aside of bulking, cutting or strength increasing effect, anabolic steroids are also used for healing injuries. Some of them have good anti-inflammatory effects, while all of them increase the number of red cells, pumping more blood not only to muscle tissues, but most important to ligaments and tendons. These parts are poorly fluidized; hence healing process takes longer and is more painful.

Please make the difference between corticosteroids and androgenic anabolic steroids. First group of steroids is based on cortisol, a substance that carries high healing properties, but also induce a greater catabolic effect during which a big percentage of muscle mass is eaten. Taking corticosteroids for healing injuries can be a good idea only if you don’t care about your muscle mass. Contrary, you have to properly manipulate your training or diet to keep catabolic process under control.

Taking peptides with steroids enhance muscle building process several times. Following such a stack can help to gain impressive amounts of muscle mass with even less steroids. And all this happens due to peptides. They greatly increase appetite and Human Growth Hormone level, which in result produce more ICF-1. This is that’s one hormone responsible for muscle growth.
Due to all these properties, peptides speed up recovery and carry good healing effects. Most of bodybuilders use to combine TB-500 with GHRP-6 or hGH to help body recover faster and heal injured tendons, ligaments or joints. There is no contraindication for mixing them, while dosage pretty low. 4-5 mg/week of TB-500 and 150-200 mcg three times per day of GHRP -6 is more than enough to promote healing in just few weeks of use.

Not that you are limited to these dosage, you can easily go with higher than this. The proper dosage can be set individually, based on your body reaction.

Why to mix a steroid with peptides for healing when they seem to work great alone

This is a very good question and if you take a look on steroids boards you will see that the number of those who want to know it is pretty high.

Peptides have the ability to enhance steroids properties and cause more gains. In the regard of healing effect, peptides accelerate recovery and help body to return to normal condition in short time. The alone use of peptides can cause some loss in muscle mass, due to increased cortisol level. By taking a steroid along with peptides catabolic process is reduced at minimum, these way individuals managing to keep on muscle mass they already have.

Not all steroids fit such a goal. Along with Deca Durabolin, just Equipoisecan also be used for reducing pain and inflammation. Deca Durabolin has good anti inflammatory properties and when stacked with peptides these effect  is even more prominent.

Equipoise has not the same anti inflammatory action as Deca Durabolin do, but it is highly appreciated for its ability to increase red blood cells and transport more nutrients and oxygen to damaged parts. Due to this rehab process is shorter and you have not to support big pain for such long time.

When not to mix Deca Durabolin with peptides

If you are worried with side effects like hair loss, acne, prostate growth or other than taking Deca Durabolin could be a problem. It just can worsen symptoms you already have leading to irreversible effects. Know your weak points and make sure a steroid intake is not going to cause you more damage than benefits.

If you are not sure with Deca Durabolin you can simply go with TB-500 and GHRP-6. Rehabilitation would be much faster than not using them at all, while no side effects are attached.

Deca Steroids

Deca steroids are one of the most popularly used anabolic steroids of all time and have been so for generations. In most cases deca steroids refer to the drug Deca-Durabolin, formally known as Nandrolone Decanoate. While this high class of anabolic steroid is often simply called “Deca” this label isn’t entirely accurate due to “Deca” or Decanoate being an attached ester, not the actual drug. There is actually a few deca steroids available; there are even drugs of a non-anabolic steroidal nature that use this ester; several of them but it is without question Nandrolone Decanoate that carries with it the most popularity among all the deca steroids.

Understanding the Decanoate Ester in Deca Steroids:
The decanoate ester belongs to a class known as a decanoic acid, a type of fatty acid which provides a very long half-life regardless of the drug it is attached to. You guessed it, when we attach this ester to an anabolic steroid its detection time is also of a very high nature; deca steroids carry with them some of the longest lasting detection times of any anabolic steroid on the market.

Deca Steroids of the Nandrolone Form:
Like testosterone, Nandrolone is found in every human being; that is correct, our bodies naturally produce this hormone. Further and as it pertains to the interest at hand, this powerful hormone has the ability to add lean muscle tissue quite unlike many other hormones; even more exciting is this hormones ability to block the muscle wasting hormone cortisol. As it pertains to supplementation of the hormone, this drug is also available with a faster/shorter attached ester known as phenylpropionate but most will find the deca steroids to be more efficient than their counterparts.

Deca Steroids & Testosterone:
Beyond Deca-Durabolin type anabolics the decanoate ester is sometimes combined to the testosterone molecule, usually as a part of Sustanon-250 most commonly. This form of testosterone can be found alone and used as a single ester but it is not highly advised nor sought after. There are many other single estered testosterones that have been proven to be far more effective and efficient. If you desire to use deca steroids of a testosterone nature you will be best served doing so as part of a testosterone mix.

Deca Steroids & Use:
Deca steroids have proven to be some of the best anabolic steroids available but as there is as with all performance enhancing drugs there is a method you need to understand to reap the highest reward. Decanoate is a very long lasting drug as discussed meaning it remains in our system for a very long time even after use is stopped. Further, we understand the importance of proper therapy after we end any anabolic steroid cycle, commonly called PCT. To reap the most successful reward we must promote recovery after our cycle and when our cycle contained any various deca steroids we must take note. The most effective means is to end use of all deca steroids approximately 4 weeks before the cycles end and to end the final four weeks with only fast acting anabolics. By doing so we have allowed time for the deca steroids to start clearing our system, brought forth the time we can start PCT to an earlier date and highly promoted recovery. This is the name of the game, not only when it comes to anabolic steroid use but the muscle and performance game as a whole; recovery. Without recovery you’re only beating your head against the wall.

Properties of Deca Durabolin

Deca Durabolin is the trade name for the injectable anabolic steroid Nandrolone Decanoate. It is simply the anabolic steroid Nandrolone with the long ester Decanoate attached to it in order to augment release times and the half-life of the drug. Other formats of Nandrolone exist as well, such as Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, also known by its trade name Durabolin or NPP (Nandrolone with a Phenylpropionate ester attached). However, ‘Deca’ as it is colloquially known, is the most common and most popular form of Nandrolone.

Properties of Deca Durabolin

Nandrolone is a stronger anabolic steroid than Testosterone, but not by a great deal. Nandrolone possesses an anabolic rating of 125, while Testosterone holds an anabolic rating of 100. Nandrolone’s favorability lies in its very low androgenic rating of 37, while Testosterone holds an androgenic rating of 100 – quite significant compared to the androgenic strength of Nandrolone. The lower androgenic activity of Nandrolone is due in large part to the fact that Nandrolone converts into Dihydronandrolone, which is known to be a much less potent androgen. Nandrolone possesses very low Estrogenic activity and binds very poorly with the aromatase enzyme, which is the enzyme responsible for the conversion of androgens into Estrogen. It is estimated that only approximately 20% of Nandrolone is converted into Estrogen in comparison with Testosterone’s conversion rates[2]. This is due in very large part to the fact that Nandrolone is a Progestin (as are all 19-nor compounds)[3]. The other major factor in this is the fact that Nandrolone can undergo Estrogen conversion in the liver, but other locations where there is a high rate of Estrogen conversion (such as fat tissue), Nandrolone is quite resistant[4]. Progestins are very resistant to Estrogen conversion, but the fact that Nandrolone is a Progestin presents various issues itself.

Nandrolone lacks the 19th carbon that Testosterone possesses, which makes it a Progestin and it has been demonstrated that 19-nor anabolic steroids tend to exhibit binding affinity for the Progesterone receptors in the body[5]. As mentioned above, this presents some issues that are not commonly seen with other anabolic steroids that are not Progestins. Nandrolone is considered to possess moderate Progestogenic activity. Progestogenic side effects are almost identical to Estrogenic side effects, and they include: severe endogenous Testosterone production shutdown/suppression, gynecomastia, and water retention. It has been discovered that the activity of Progestins is closely correlated with the activity of Estrogen in the body. There also exist some side effects associated with Progestins that are not seen in other anabolic steroids.

19-nors being Progestogenic compounds are known to increase a hormone in the body known as Prolactin. Prolactin levels above normal in men often results in side effects such as lactating nipples, erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia (inability to achieve orgasm) and endogenous Testosterone production suppression/shutdown. An interesting point to learn is the fact that Progesterone itself is known to inhibit Prolactin production, and that 19-nors such as Nandrolone and Trenbolone being classified as Progestins should serve to actually suppress Prolactin levels. However, this is not the case as Nandrolone and Trenbolone are not Progesterone themselves – they are anabolic steroids that exhibit Progestogenic activity due to their chemical modifications and it is therefore very possible for these hormones to exhibit activity that is contrary to the activity of a similar hormone or parent hormone. It has been found that Nandrolone and Trenbolone can and do in fact increase Prolactin levels in the body.

Prolactin increases can be controlled either with the use of Prolactin antagonist drugs (such as Cabergoline or Pramipexole), however, prevention of rising Estrogen levels are also an effective method. For one thing, it is strongly speculated that the Estrogen in fact serves as a co-binding factor in the Prolactin receptor expression (PRLR). This can increase an individual’s sensitivity to Prolactin even if Prolactin levels themselves are not high in the body. This is a very sound theory when it is understood that the Estrogen receptor is a causative factor in Prolactin issues. Therefore, controlling Estrogen levels should control the effects of Prolactin. This is the number one reason why the side effects associated with 19-nor compounds (such as Nandrolone and Trenbolone) are frequently reported to be far more pronounced and with greater severity when they are used in a high Estrogen environment (whether it is from stacking Nandrolone or Trenbolone with high aromatizable doses of an aromatizable compound, such as Testosterone or otherwise).

It is because of the Progestogenic nature of Nandrolone that it is known to produce severe endogenous natural Testosterone production suppression and shutdown. Therefore, it is recommended that at all times whenever using Deca-Durabolin in a cycle that Testosterone be utilized with it in order to maintain normal physiological function of Testosterone in an environment in which natural Testosterone production has halted or been severely lowered.
