Nandrolone Hydrogen Succinate
Nandrolone Hydrogen Succinate (pronunciation: nan-DRO-lone HY-dro-gen SUK-sin-ate) is a synthetic anabolic steroid derived from testosterone. It is used in the treatment of osteoporosis, anemia, and some forms of neoplasia including breast cancer, and also acts as a progestin-based contraceptive.
Etymology
The term "Nandrolone" is derived from the words "nandrol" (a name for a group of steroids) and "olone" (indicating a ketone group). "Hydrogen succinate" refers to the succinic acid ester of the steroid, which is formed by replacing the steroid's -OH group with a -COOH group from succinic acid.
Usage
Nandrolone Hydrogen Succinate is used in the medical field for its anabolic effects. It is used to treat conditions like osteoporosis and anemia, where the body's natural ability to produce new cells is impaired. It is also used in the treatment of some forms of cancer, particularly breast cancer.
