Deca is said to cause some pretty gnarly mental effects and bloat you to sh*t. Is it a Looksmin and is this all true?

Deca is shit, from all roids why even choose this one?

because it's pretty much the only steroid that is 100% hair and skin (acne) safe

Deca definitely does have effects on mood, but most people simply don't control their e2 well, since deca makes you more sensitive to progesterone, so elevated e2 hits way harder on deca

try running it with low test, just enough test to get you to a good e2 level
you can try p2p, or even caber, for elevated prolactin, but I don't have this problem, my prolactin is fine

I do 300mg of npp and around 70mg of test

The only issue for me from deca was the bloat.

My mood was generally good, albeit a bit sluggish. But no insomnia or anxiety.

Other steroids put me on edge 24/7 and i notice that im more of a dick on androgenic shit like test, dhb and tren

Hows the bloat and mood on this?

What was the dose for deca?

Do you think anavar affects mood as well?

bloat is negligible imo, but I do think that something like test+mast would produce "dryer" looks, so a bit more defined facial features
it's def a disadvantage, but it's not the end of the world
there are always some some downsides to everything

mood wise, I feel fine, great even, libido is alright (like I said, most guys who get "dica dick" run deca and test in 1:1 ratio), but I do feel some impact on the dopamine systems
this is the biggest disadvantage of nandrolone imo
I think I would "feel sharper" on test, but I can't run test due to hairloss and acne, so I just have to accept the deca sides
and it's tolerable tbh

also there may be some ways to alleviate the dopamine symptoms, but I need to research that more

Do you think anavar affects mood as well?
generally you're not gonna "feel" anabolics, other than the 19nors
you feel estrogen the most, you gotta have your e2 management dialed in like crazy, because even small mistakes can ruin your mood for days/weeks

anavar would pair well with deca, as it's essentially oral masteron, but there are shortages of almost all anabolics now, so I don't know where you plan to even get it
and I dont see a reason to place additional load on the liver, just do normal injectable drostanolone instead (if you can get it, which you won't, unless you pay crazy markups)

yeah, and deca shuts you down hard, some metabolites can be detected in the body even half a year later, and I'm not sure how suppressive these are
so nandrolone is not something you take for a cycle, or if you plan to pct anytime soon, it's something that only longterm trt users can consider

Is it true you can't take fina or duta on deca?

yes, nandrolone is hairsafe due to getting reduced into dihydronandrlone (DHN), so just like testosterone gets reduced into DHT
this is done by the 5alpha reductose enzyme, so if you block the creation of this enzyme, the body can't convert nandrolone into DHN in the skin/scalp, and therefore it doesent get reduced into the safe DHN

this is the best property of nandrolone, in the muscle, there is no 5alphareductose enzyme, so you get the potent androgenic nandrolone, but in the skin and scalp, the 5alphareductose is abundant, so when the strongly androgenic nandrolone reaches skin/scalp, it gets conversed into the safe DHN

do some research on deca dick then you will see

dont use deca use NPP instead and stack it with lower test and higher mast, people dont use it right

Mast is a total Looksmin. No way I'm using that

If you manage your prolactin and e2 bloat shouldnt be to bad

Menatally it differs a lot

Personally i think its good but that seems to be a hot take on here

Rapes your hair and skin
no, that's wrong, it's a myth regurgitated on forums

masteron is a DHT *derivative*, it's not DHT
it's a different molecule, it acts in a very different manner than DHT itself

I can't go into the weeds here, as I'm not a biochemist (but you can easily find this information using ai), but I've heard todd lee speak about this, and he said that the interaction with the androgen receptor is completely different between dht itself, and a dht derivative such as mast
same thing goes for primo

actually, testosterone itself is more hair-unsafe because it converts to raw dht

Wrong mastering is known to rape your hair follicles.

yeah, known by retarded bro-scentists on forums, who only repeat things others have said

Seen many comments on YouTube saying they shredded their hair with masteron

do you even realize how retarded the general steroid user is? how retarded their protocols are?
they don't have any idea about shit

when it comes to anabolics, you should never listen to any general sentiments, or forum users, always listen to only trusted, educated content creators

take a look at this forum - majority believes that mewing will make them chad when they start doing it at 20
why tf would you listen to any of these people about anything?

Ok so explain how it doesn't cause hairless or age skin? It's high DHT

what? what do you mean by "high DHT"?

I just said it - masteron *is not* DHT, it's a dht derivative, it's a completely different molecule (but one that was made out of dht)
this gives it different properties than DHT

DHT itself is not even anabolic, DHT does not build muscle - yet masteron does
it's just a different thing

if you need a better explanation, just throw this question into some good ai model and have it explained
in 2025 there's no need to keep believing in broscience, when you can research everything with 0 effort

I've never tried it just seen everywhere. What dose did you run?
i ran 350 test p, 300 npp, and 400 mast p, ive never had bad hair, its always long and dense plus i used accutane and ghk on the cycle, and idk if this helps with skin too much but i love to drink bone broth, its weird but its good for you

Were there any mental sides and what ai did you dose
