Norandrostenediol Info And Products
Super Powerful Muscle Building Prohormone

1. What is it and where does it come from?
19-norandrostenediol (19-diol) is the moderately anabolic base of the steroid Deca-Durabolin. In many countries around the world, 19-diol has been sold to athletes as a indictable steroid.

It was only allowed to be sold in the United States after new legislation made it legal to sell it as a nutritional supplement, along with DHEA, androstenedione, and others. 19-diol is a long-acting and potent muscle builder that produces rapid recovery. High quality 19-norandrostenediol is available from Bodybuilding.com.

Prohormones Banned Jan. 20th, 2005

On January 20th, 2005 the US Federal Gorvenment's ban on prohormones took effect. Don't worry though, we have numerous other products that work just as well. Find out more about these alternatives.

2. What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?
19-diol latches onto steroid receptors longer than testosterone does. It is frequently preferred over testosterones because it does not have as many androgenic side effects, such as increased body hair growth, deepened voice, and male pattern baldness. Studies show that one can sustain nortestosterone levels for up to ten times longer with 19-diol versus some previous products that enhanced testosterone levels. It is also expected to convert to nandrolone at a rate three times greater than norandrostendione. Nandrolene does not convert to testosterone as androstenedione does. What does all this mean? Basically, 19-norandrostendiol has been reported to increase strength, initiate rapid and massive muscle growth, and allow for faster recovery after working out. It is so new that no human studies exist yet.

3. Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?
Bodybuilders, athletes, weight-trainers, and those who work out off and on could benefit from the positive effects attributed to 19-norandrostenediol. Since 19-diol is not an essential nutrient, deficiency is not associated with it.

4. How much should be taken? Are there any side effects?
Most athletes who supplement with 19-norandrostenediol consume between 100 and 200 mg per day. Usually they take it in one large dose 45 minutes before working out or training with a large glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Pregnant or lactating women should not take 19-diol, nor should individuals with an enlarged prostate. If you have a medical condition, consult your physician before supplementing with 19-diol.

Target Hormone: 19Nortestosterone (nandrolone)
Molecular name of target hormone: 17ß-hydroxy-19-nor-4-andro-sten-3-one
Target conversion: High (15.76 %)
Conversion enzyme: 3-ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3HSD)
DHT conversion: none
Estrogenic effects: none

To me, this is the top of the line, though some will not agree with me. I stacked this with 5-diol, and as I explained the 5AD did very little other than keep androgens moderate and ensure greater Nor-diol conversion, and came to the conclusion that this is without a doubt the hands down winner of the Andro Wars.

The advantages include no estrogen or DHT prior to conversion on the basis of it being a diol version, and only a fifth the DHT conversion afterwards because it has nandrolone as a target hormone. It's almost twice as anabolic as its dione counterpart and in terms of gains can match 4-diol milligram for milligram. It is of more use to the young bodybuilder because it converts to nandrolone via the 3-beta enzyme assuring high conversion and not interfering with testosterone production other than by negative feedback. Meaning in moderate doses it will not stunt your natural testosterone too much and ensure a faster recovery afterwards. That makes it definitely the most potent prohormone to use by itself, but obviously the stacking is limited. If you were willing to take the risk of mega-dosing and reach enzyme saturation, 19Nor is a possibility, but since most of the question I get about prohormones have a severe undertone of fear where side effects are concerned, I don't think that will be a popular stack. With 4-diol you have too strong of a competition, vying for the same receptor enzyme. 5-diol is your best bet because of strong anabolism despite low conversion and the fact that it can upgrade the 3-beta enzyme assuring greater conversion.

The greatest downside to Nor-diol is the cost. It's hard to find quality because not many quality companies produce it. The economic returns are minimal because people don't like paying that much for a prohormone. Some companies will even badmouth Nor-diol to cover their lack of endeavour (are you hearing me Paul Delia?). Your best bet on the market these days, and I know the Bodybuilding.com store carries them, are Prolab (100 mg per cap) and Ergopharms oral product (150 mg per cap) I only mention this because a lot of people have asked me where to find good Nor-diol.
