19 Nor Andro Supplements Review

What is Norandrostenedione? 

19 Norandrostenedione (also known as Norandro, 19 Nor and 19 3 Andro Nor) is so new that no human studies exist yet. However, as Androstenedione has demonstrated its effectiveness at increasing muscularity, vascularity, endurance, and strength, Norandrostenedione does all the above with the seemingly added benefit of improved lipolysis or increased fat mobilization. In addition to these attributes, norandrostenedione has far fewer potential side effects than its Androstenedione cousin.

According to famous steroid guru Dan Duchaine,

"19-nortestosterone is a testosterone molecule without a carbon molecule at the 19th position. So nor-Androstenedione is simply an Androstenedione molecule without any carbon at the 19th
position...The interesting thing about nor-Androstenedione is that the dehydrogenase enzyme in the liver won't add any carbon at the 19th position. It adds only a hydrogen at the 17th position. So, without any carbon added, the Norandrostenedione won't be converted to testosterone. It's converted to nor-testosterone instead. In basic terms: nor-Androstenedione is converted to nandrolone in the liver."

The highly anabolic properties of nandrolone are undisputed. Nandrolone easily binds to the body's steroid receptors and remains attached even longer than testosterone. Nandrolones are preferable to testosterones because of poor conversion to undesirable estrogenic compounds, and because the androgenic side effects like acne, increased body-hair growth and acceleration of male pattern baldness are not as prevalent. Unfortunately, Norandrostenedione may cause a false positive on a steroid test for nandrolone.

This is a statement of nutritional support. This statement has not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. 

1. What is it and where does it come from?

19-Norandrostenedione is basically an androstene molecule with a carbon atom missing in the 19th position. I know, I know you’d have to be a chemistry major to figure that out. Well, to save you the trouble it’s basically this: 19-norandrostenedione is converted by an enzyme (17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) into nandrolone in the body’s liver.

2. What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?
Working much like its cousin, testosterone, 19-norandrostenedione studies show that 19-norandrostene may be even better than any other legal testosterone precursor because it does not carry the same side effects as more highly anabolic hormones. Some of the benefits of supplementing with 19-norandrostenedione include avoiding the effects of DHT problems (male pattern balding and prostate enlargement). This is great news for those who want the muscle gains without the hormonal side effects!!! This is because of the conversion to nandrolone instead of testosterone directly. Also, since 19-norandrostenedione uses the same enzyme to convert as androstenedione, they work very well together which conserves your body’s enzyme use and maximizes your hormonal conversion efficiency. Studies conducted on nandrolone show that it is highly efficient compared to testosterone because it attaches to steroid receptors easier and stays attached longer. The conversion rate (to testosterone effects) is 5.61%, the same as androstenedione, but less than pure testosterone (illegal). So, the trade-offs are: getting a little less anabolic steroid, 19-norandrostendione, but still getting awesome results with a much much lower chance of side effects such as DHT problems, as compared to direct precursor.

3. Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?
You know who needs it bodybuilders, muscle men, and all out normal dudes who want to experience HUGE gains, BIG results, and AWESOME power! Seriously, this is a supplement that works. It’s chemically proven (as testosterone’s cousin) to increase muscle mass and overall size of muscles very quickly and effectively. Because it is not an essential nutrient, deficiency is not an associated problem.

4. How much should be taken? Are there any side effects?
Androgenic products should only be supplemented by healthy males 21 years old or older. Because women may be sensitive to androgens, it is not recommended for women. Anyone with pre-existing hormonal dependencies (breast, prostate, etc.) should check with a physician before supplementing with 19-norandrostendione. Research indicates that best results are observed with 100 mg twice per day (not to exceed). Because this is such new territory, no long-term studies have been conducted on 19-norandrostendione

Note: In the US Norandrostenedione is against the law and no longer legal to buy or use.
