MMC78 posted an interesting article from metamorphosis.com, where it explained how longer esters will yield a higher anabolic effect than shorter esters.


Parent Drug Ester # of Carbons Anabolic Effect Anabolic / Androgenic Ratio
Nandrolone formate 1 1176 13:1
acetate 2 1594 11:1
propionate 3 1880 10:1
butyrate 4 1488 7:1
valerate 5 2526 9:1
hexanoate 6 3731 9:1
heptanoate 7 6559 13:1
octanoate 8 5557 15:1
nonanoate 9 5080 19:1
decanoate 10 7735 25:1
undecanoate 11 6576 32:1


However, upon reading the article's conclusion, it seems to contradict w/ the "longer ester = higher anabolism" descr***d above:

"Shorter chain esters must be injected more frequently than longer chain esters if consistent blood levels are desired. Consistent blood levels probably lead to the greatest efficiency of use for the drug and the highest anabolic/androgenic ratio. The activity of long chain esters can be mimicked by frequent administration of short chain esters."

So, my question is, is there a greater potential for gains when running longer esters (due to pharmacokinetics), or am I completely misunderstanding the article, and that Durabolin is just as effective as Deca, so long as I inject frequently?
