What is the Half-Life of Deca?

[kaly50]

just wondering what the half-life of Deca is so i know when to start administering HCG for my PCT.

Are you not running test with it? I'm running deca and sust at the moment so will stop using the deca 2 weeks before I finish the sust and start HCG the day after my last sust shot

[kaly50]

yes i will be using test but was wondering what the half-life of Deca was?

Deca got its name because it's the decanoate ester of nandrolone. That means the ester has 10 carbons and is active for quite a long time.

Ester Half-Life

Formate 1.5 days
Acetate 3 days
Propionate 4.5 days
Phenylpropionate 4.5 days
Butyrate 6 days
Valerate 7.5 days
Hexanoate 9 days
Caproate 9 days
Isocaproate 9 days
Heptanoate 10.5 days
Enanthate 10.5 days
Octanoate 12 days
Cypionate 12 days
Nonanoate 13.5 days
Decanoate 15 days
Undecanoate 16.5 days

Judging by the TRT boys, the half life is a bit less than that.
Some of those guys take 100mg cyp once a week and use HCG day 1 of the cyp shot and days 6 and 7 to keep blood levels even.

When I do a prop shot I notice massive sex drive in about 5 hours and its out of my body in about 3 days.

The 1/2 lives may depend on how much you inject though.

For a 100mg (1/2cc) cyponate is no way 12 days (more like 5-7), but it might be close to that for 500+mg.

How would the dose make any difference on the half-life?

IMO you can start the HCG right away. Don't start SERMs until 3 weeks after your last deca shot though.
