Another top muscle building steroid on our list is Deca Durabolon. It is an effective bulking steroid that is usually used in the form of stack to maximize the results. It is preferred in stacking with Dianabol, Testosterone, or Anadrol, due to its low androgenicity.
The use of Deca Durabolin enhances the nitrogen retention uptake in the muscle cells, and increases the process of protein synthesis. Deca Durabolin is preferred by the bodybuilders because of its exceptional capability of offering muscle fullness by successfully shuttling more intracellular water within the muscle cells.
Most of the bodybuilders prefer not to use the power of Deca Durabolin individually and stack it other potent steroids to maximize the gains. However, Deca plays its own role within the stack as well to for muscle building and endurance gains.

Deca Durabolin Side Effects:Deca Durabolin is one of the popular steroids, but it is also an FDA approved medication for the treatment of muscle-wasting diseases. However, it is still considered illegal for bodybuilding purposes. As it is used in medicinal purposes, this indicates Deca as a milder steroid than others and therefore is known as one of the safest anabolic steroids in the market.
Some of the side effects associated with the use of Deca Durabolin are spike in blood pressure level, decline in sexual performance, and erectile dysfunction, also known as ‘Deca dick’. Though liver toxicity is not linked with the use of Deca Durabolin, but it can cause high prolactin levels in the bloodstream that can bring issue of low libido in men. In addition, it can cause testosterone suppression and therefore a PCT should be needed to make the natural testosterone level return back to normal.
