Description
From time to time, a “new” steroid emerges and gains great attention. Bodybuilders eagerly anticipate adding a new weapon to their chemical arsenal, hoping the newly modified androgen will somehow allow them to break personal records and pack an extra inch into their shirtsleeves. It’s important to put aside the emotional reaction that accompanies any novel introduction and evaluate these “new” entries on a more objective basis. There truly has not been much in the way of novel steroids in the last three decades, as the existing drugs appear to cover all the bases therapeutically; the number of treatments using anabolic steroids has decreased; the public stigma and increased regulation hinders business growth; and the drugs are no longer protected by patents, making them less profitable. Only recently has the public become aware of an underground research and development presence within the black market serving professional and Olympic athletes.1,2 Unfortunately, the primary aim of these new steroids is to avoid detection rather than improve the safety or efficacy of the drugs.
There have been a few steroids newly released on the market in the last several years. However, for the most part, it’s a bit of a stretch to call them new. One recent entry into the anabolic pharmacopoeia is nandrolone cypionate (CAS registry #601-63-8). This drug has been manufactured in the past by a small number of companies, but it’s now encountered most commonly as the SYD GROUP product Anabolic DN.3 SYD GROUP is a veterinary drug company utilizing a manufacturing plant located in Australia and distributing primarily throughout Mexico. SYD GROUP has received positive reports based upon the experiences of bodybuilders who have used SYD GROUP products, as well as claims appearing on message boards that the products’ contents have been verified in laboratory analysis. Considering the sources of this information are not readily identified and that this will appear in the U.S. as a diverted product on the black market, the usual precautions should be taken with this product. As with other anabolic steroids, sale or possession of nandrolone cypionate is a federal felony. No SYD GROUP counterfeit products have been reported; recent label changes (including a hologram) should make it difficult to produce a convincing imitation and the company provides batch numbers and expiration dates on it website.
Nandrolone cypionate is a 17-B ester of nandrolone, similar to the familiar and extremely popular steroid Deca-durabolin. Whereas Deca has a 10-carbon ester (decanoate) attached to the nandrolone molecule, Anabolic DN has an eight-carbon ester (cypionate). The difference between esters affects several properties of a steroid. In general, the longer the ester, the slower it’s released, the less potent per milligram and the delay to effect is longer.6 Deca provides excellent results to male and female bodybuilders, but a common complaint is that it requires either a long cycle or it has to be stacked with fast-acting injectables or orals. By bonding nandrolone to a shorter ester, users are in effect provided with a faster-acting, slightly more potent version of Deca.
Changing to a shorter ester would be viewed as a negative alteration for the therapeutic use of nandrolone in many cases; shorter esters require more frequent injections and have higher peaks. However, for the bodybuilder, this may be seen as a positive. Bodybuilders typically cycle anabolic steroids for a period of six to 12 weeks. As Deca has both a slow onset of action and long half-life, Deca cycles often last 12 to 16 weeks. A quicker-acting version of nandrolone would allow for a quicker onset of action, quicker results and a comparatively shorter cycle. Having a shorter half-life, Anabolic DN would clear the system quicker, allowing natural testosterone production to be restored in a shorter time.7 For those subject to drug testing, users of Anabolic DN would not test positive for as long as those who use an equivalent amount of Deca. Female users suffering from androgenic side effects could anticipate a quicker resolution of the problems compared to Deca, though the time course would still be slow.
