I've read alot of the posts and I appreciate all of the information assembled here. I am writing to ask a very specialized question to the community in general. As for background, I am an ectomorphic competitive tennis player who works out regularly. I'm 25 although I look 16 and I am, in fact, more interested in the androgenic than anabolic effects of andro.

If I take 4-androstenediol for a one month cycle, (1) what are the possible side effects, (2) how long will it remain in my body, (3) and how likely is it that I will also be ingesting nandrolone?

(4) After two months, would my body be clean?

(5) What kind of dosage should I take?

According to the forum FAQ, it should be gone from my body in a matter of days:

quote:

Since prohormones convert into active anabolic compounds, it is the concern of some that they will be tested for in a drug test. The answer is almost always no, they will not show up in a drug test. Drug testing for anabolic steroids is very expensive and has to be asked for specifically. So, unless you are on probation for steroid use, or are a professional athlete, you will not be tested for prohormones/steroids. Also, since most prohormones have very short half lives, they will clear out of your system within a matter of days. General drug tests only test for opiates, ampetamines, cocaine and marijuana. However, if you are planning to join the military, or a sports organization that bans the use of these substances, it would be in your best interest to avoid them.

(6) But is it correct that this assumes the prohormone is clean and uncontaminated?

Final Question (7) How long is Nandrolone detectable?

I already checked out a bunch of articles in JAMA, SD, JAP, but nothing I've read has sufficiently addressed these concerns.
