Recovery of Testosterone Production and Deca Durabolin

Do you know Deca Durabolin is also known as Nandrolone Decanoate? Yes, it is an inject-able anabolic steroid. It is the most common and popular form of Nandrolone. Due to the attachment of the Decanoate to the Nandrolone the release times as well as the half life of the steroid can be spread out for more convenience in injections.

While at first, it saw many medical uses, the modern FDA cut back its uses to treating anemic patients, HIV/AIDS patients, and any others who were losing muscle mass due to their condition. It is still widely available in the US, despite cessations and bans of many other steroids.

The Benefits of Taking Deca Durabolin
Deca Durabolin is considered mild in comparison to other anabolic steroids on the issue of side effects. Watch this video to see Deca benefits over one of the most powerful steroids- Tren.
Over years of studies, it does not seem to exhibit the same rate of the usual side effects everyone associates with steroids, such as hair loss, aggression, and increases in blood pressure and severe changes in lipids, kidney functions and liver values. This makes it a very popular choice for many steroid users. Despite its popularity for the lack of side effects, it has one major drawback.

The Side Effect that Really Matters
One of the well known side effects of steroid use is an effect on testosterone levels. Different types of steroids result in different levels of decrease in production of testosterone. Deca Durabolin is one of the most powerful steroids in use, and thus it creates a serious and noticeable decrease in testosterone levels.
“Deca Dick” has become commonly used slang to describe those on the steroid with Erectile Dysfunction. It is a hot topic in every forum and unfortunately for Deca Durabolin users, not only is it incredibly potent, but also has a higher recovery time for the user to recover to regular testosterone levels.

Is there more to low testosterone than just ED?
Most people know that lower testosterone levels will decrease a man’s libido. But there are a number of other risks and side effects of low testosterone levels that are often forgotten in the wake of erectile dysfunction. Some of these side effects include increased body fat, fragile bones, swelling and tenderness of breast tissue, hot flashes, and increased fatigue.
It can also affect sleep cycles and cause depression. These issues, which could develop into more serious problems, should be kept in mind along with ED when considering the benefits of Post Cycle Therapy.

The Benefits and Importance of Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)
Post Cycle Therapy can be crucial to increasing testosterone levels at a more desirable rate. PCT is much more than just recovering testosterone. PCT helps to keep your entire endocrine system healthy. In the early days of steroids in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s not much was known about their effects on the endocrine system. It wasn’t until the 80’s or 90’s that doctors and scientists realized the extent to which steroids affected the Hypothalamic Pituitary Testicular Axis (HPTA). PCT was born out of this revelation, and has been encouraged ever since.

The Results of Skipping PCT
While a body can usually rebalance itself in 1 to 4 months that could be counteractive to the benefits of the steroid cycle it as the imbalance has enough time to affect the body in multiple ways. Decreasing the time it takes the body to regain testosterone levels (which can be as low as 75% decrease in Deca Durabolin users) can ensure the health of the endocrine system as well as the avoidance of other symptoms that come with below average testosterone levels.

Conclusion
Deca can indeed cause you huge muscle growth, but wrong use can also lead to serious side effects. In order to stay safe and enjoy great results, educate yourself about Deca proper usage, side effects, stacks, recommendations and things to avoid.  PCT is just one of them and play a big role.

What Luteinizing hormone values tells about natural testosterone production?

LH is an important hormone produced by the pituitary gland for both men and women. In women, it works as part of the menstrual cycle. In men it serves to maintain and produce testosterone and sperm. It is important to stay within a normal range of secretion in order to keep these body functions working correctly and to ensure the general health of your pituitary gland.

To check secretion levels you can request a blood test. Before you go, be aware that tests results may vary, and getting different results even minutes apart is quite normal. Many people become concerned with the differing levels of normal, as they want to be high normal in their levels of testosterone as opposed to low normal.

While high normal is more effective for your body, low normal is not necessarily bad, especially since levels fluctuate regularly. So do not be surprised if your LH levels vary while your levels of testosterone remain consistent.

The true value of measuring LH using a single measure test

It’s a known truth that LH levels can change from minute to minute. This makes small changes in daily production nearly undetectable through testing. An example from another article (source below) gives a comparison of the LH test represented by judging a better hitter in baseball on one hit.

Will the player who has hit better all season necessarily win? No, but that’s why batting averages are made up of every single at-bat. We must think of LH in the same way. The whole (being at a normal level) is more important than the individual highs and lows within normal.

A variable better suited for that kind of test would be something like “Who has blue eyes” or “Who is younger”. Variables like age and eye color do not change. The nature at which the LH changes makes a single measure much less useful in determining daily levels.,

Why the test is still important

While the test cannot give precise information on miniscule daily rises and falls in LH levels, what it can do is indicate when you are dangerously low.

The test will be able to tell you when your pituitary gland is about to go into hypopituitarism. Considering the range of things controlled by your pituitary gland, such as the thyroid, adrenal gland, ovaries, testes, and kidneys, it important to know if you are below average.

The symptoms of hypopituitarism include abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of body hair, shortened height (if during a growth spurt), vision issues, and weight loss, among others. The test is not made to worry about being high or low normal, but it can keep you safe from larger issues.

What can be done if you’re still wanting higher levels of LH?

The problem with recommending drugs to increase levels of a hormone that is hard to measure is that we really cannot gauge the effectiveness of the drug. Some have tried a DAA supplement regimen, but you’ll really only benefit from that if you are consistently low normal. Since we cannot tell how close to a blood peak each test is, worrying about these levels is unnecessary unless your levels are below average.

As long as your LH and testosterone both read some kind of normal, there is no need for worry. But if you’ve got it in your head that you need some kind of measure, the best you can do it measure how the DAA is affecting your testosterone.

Low Testosterone

Low testosterone is a conditioned suffered by millions of men and while remedy is readily available the vast majority does little to nothing about it. In some cases it could be laziness but in most it’s simply a lack of education; when you don’t know or understand something the simplest thing in the world can be akin to trying to understand the most complicated aspects of human thought. Even so, while many men remain in the dark increasingly many more are coming into the light so to speak and doing something about their low testosterone problem; after all, it is a condition no man has to live with and once remedied the normal statement is “why didn’t I do this sooner?”

As education has begun to increase so have the myths and lies that surround it, as the only true treatment for low testosterone is anabolic steroids; this should come as no surprise. Many men are so afraid of anabolic steroids they’ll do anything to avoid them even if it means convincing themselves of half-truths; as the old saying goes, it’s not a lie if you believe it but unfortunately it simply doesn’t work this way. In truth, to understand low testosterone and the treatment involved you need to understand anabolic steroids and when you understand them you’ll understand they are not medications in the common sense of the word but rather synthetic hormones identical to the ones you already produce; however, as you now suffer from low testosterone you now produce far less.

Low testosterone can affect a man negatively in a host of ways from ruining his physique, draining his energy, destroying his sexual performance or even desire to a host of other mental and physical problems. Many men often attribute this to age but it doesn’t have to be this way and in-fact, man was not intended to fall into this state; much of it is often brought on by us. While this remains true and taking care of one’s self will aid in keeping testosterone levels adequate many times that is not enough. There are things you can do to aid in remedy in a natural sense but if you truly suffer from low testosterone actual testosterone therapy is going to be the only course of true action.

We have taken some of the most common myths revolving around low testosterone and the treatment thereof and left you with only the truth. While you find there is still much more to learn hopefully you’ll find this to be a good starting point. Each and every myth discussed is taken right from some of the most popular message boards that deal in such discussion but it is here we will put some of these myths to rest.

Myth:

If you suffer from true low testosterone brought on simply by age you can remedy the problem with diet and exercise.

Truth:

It is true, exercise can increase testosterone levels and some foods have been shown to do the same; foods such as eggs and red meat are two very good foods for aiding in such a cause but the increase in testosterone from diet and exercise is so miniscule that for an individual suffering from low testosterone it’s hardly worth mentioning. If you suffer from low testosterone and desire a remedy the only remedy that will aid in your cause is true testosterone therapy.

Myth:

Once you begin testosterone therapy and your levels return to normal you will eventually be able to discontinue therapy and remain at a stable level.

Truth:

If you suffer from true low testosterone you will always suffer from low testosterone; if you are over the age of 40 this is guaranteed and in many cases those over 30 years of age will find the same to be true. However, while continuous lifelong therapy sounds very annoying isn’t it better than low testosterone; of course it is. Now there is an exception to this rule; an individual who has brought low testosterone upon himself due to years of anabolic steroid use may be able to stimulate natural testosterone production again to an adequate level and discontinue therapy once this is achieved; however, while possible it is unlikely. Any individual over the age of 40 will never be able to accomplish this and even a younger individual will have a very difficult time.

Myth:

Low testosterone treatment plans are all the same as the hormone in each is simply that of testosterone.

Truth:

Testosterone therapy can occur in many forms, from injectable and transdermal creams and patches and even subcutaneous pellets implanted under the skin. In the end it is true, with each form of therapy you are receiving the same testosterone hormone but the efficiency and effectiveness of each form varies greatly. Without question injectable testosterone is the most efficient and effective form of testosterone therapy, as through injections the needed testosterone is placed directly into the blood. While transdermal medications will absorb into the blood many men find difficulty in achieving proper levels with this form making it the least desirable of the four. If injections are not an option for whatever reason testosterone implant pellets are a fine choice and often all the testosterone an individual will need.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy

“Testosterone Replacement Therapy” these words have become more common with every passing year but many still have no clue as to what testosterone replacement therapy really is. You’ve seen the commercials for “Low-T” and if you ask most men they sound great but many still have no clue “Low-T” is nothing more than testosterone replacement therapy and this therapy unknown to even more is nothing more than a legal prescription for anabolic steroids. That’s right, anabolic steroids; testosterone replacement therapy refers to a treatment in-which low levels of the naturally occurring hormone testosterone are brought back into an adequate range. To perform this function the anabolic steroid testosterone, a synthetic version of the hormone our body produces must be administered.

If you possess any understanding of the performance enhancing world, on its surface the idea of testosterone replacement therapy may bring you a sigh of relief but more than likely it probably irritates you at the same time. After all, for years we’ve been told anabolic steroids are brewed in the bowels of hell but if you receive testosterone replacement therapy this same hormone from which all anabolic steroids are derived from, now it’s a welcomed beacon of hope. Yes, you are correct; episodes of the Twilight Zone make far more sense than this confusing conundrum.

Let’s from this point on be clear and precise; these advertisements for “Low-T” treatment and things of this nature are nothing more than advertisements and promotions for anabolic steroids. When you inquire about testosterone replacement therapy understand you’re inquiring regarding anabolic steroids; let’s call a spade a spade. We are still a long way off from anabolic steroids being generally accepted by the whole of society but it is within testosterone replacement therapy this acceptance holds its most promising form. ,/p>

If you are still unfamiliar with testosterone replacement therapy the idea is very simple. Testosterone replacement therapy is simply providing the body the testosterone it needs in-which it no longer produces naturally. Further, this same therapy is many times provided to increase testosterone levels in men who may not have a decline per say but who naturally do not make enough testosterone. This is where things find themselves a little murky; there isn’t a set level of testosterone production that is considered “Natural,” for the amounts produced vary from person to person. Even so, the idea is sound and very well received by most all men who receive it.

There are those who desire to see testosterone replacement therapy thrown into the trash pile of life; why? We don’t have a good specific answer for you because they have yet to give one themselves. Men who receive testosterone replacement therapy enjoy a higher quality of life, they feel better, and they become sick far less often and are generally happier individuals. Why on earth anyone would ever want to legislate testosterone replacement therapy into the ground is beyond reason and comprehension.
