Can decavol convert to estrogen? I know on the ams website it says it cannot directly convert. What does that mean? If it does convert do any steps need to be taken during cycle to prevent estrogen related effects?

It is always a good idea to keep a SERM/AI on hand with whatever you take.

DECAVOL cannot directly aromatize to estrogen. Also, DECAVOL does not convert to DHT or its derivatives.

i dont mean to be a pain in the ass but not directly converting doe not sound the same as not being able to convert. am i right?

Decavol does not directly aromatize, as was previously stated. The major metabolite, nandrolone, does have the potential to aromatize however.
That said, nandrolone shows considerably less affinity than testosterone for the aromatase enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens. Nandrolone has only approximately 20% the affinity for aromatase of testosterone in vitro...according to this study:
Hope this helps.

No problem...glad to hear you cycle is going well. As stated before, I wouldn't do anything special in regards to estrogen control...but having a SERM around for precautionary measure is never a bad idea.

yea i uped the doseage a fews days ago and started to feel and little puffy/tenderness in my nipples. it went away in two days though. no other problems. i guess arom is not really an issue at least at these doses.

if I am correct 4ad has an anti-e in it. So this helps out with the test aromatazation and deca.
