19-Nor is a testosterone molecule without a carbon at the 19th position. The unique thing about this molecular structure is that when 19-Nor reaches the liver the dehydrogenase enzyme only adds hydrogen at the 17th carbon. So instead of turning into testosterone, 19-Nor get converted into Nor-testosterone, or Nandrolone. Nandrolone is the compound responsible for the anabolic properties the produce the increase in protein synthesis through its heightened affinity for steroid receptors. For this reason it is a much more efficient end product than testosterone because it creates a longer lasting anabolic environment enhancing the time available for protein synthesis. In addition, the unique conversion to Nor-testosterone eliminates all androgenic side effects associated with increases from testosterone boosters.

Diol-5 is another product found in the precursor line that has been sold in many other countries as a steroid under the name Methendriol in the 17-Alpha form. … Diol-5 has three important functions in the body besides being highly anabolic. First Diol-5 has been shown to bind to estrogen receptor sights making estrogen unavailable for normal production. This makes the aromitization of testosterone extremely difficult allowing for the enhanced anabolic and growth potential. Imagine the possibilities of enhanced growth that Diol-5 allows. The ability to increase testosterone stimulation without the worries of advanced conversion to estrogen makes this product extremely valuable.

Second, Diol-5 has been responsible for suppress cortisol production. Cortisol production is the leading cause of catabolism in muscle tissue. For those of you not familiar with catabolism, it is the break down and wasting of muscle tissue or protein degradation. Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex and is the main glucocorticoid in the body. The overall affect of cortisol’s metabolic actions is to increase the concentration of blood glucose at the expense of protein and fat stores. The ability to suppress this function slows your body to remain in an anabolic or "building" state. The longer your body stays in this state the more chance your body has to grow if all the raw materials are present. So less cortisol more muscle.

Since cortisol levels peak early in the morning, actually at around 10:00 A.M., the recommended dosage is one capsule (50 mg) as soon as you wake up with water. Water increases the absorption allowing a precise amount of Diol-5 to immediately reduce and keep the cortisol levels low throughout the day. Lastly, Diol-5 protects the body from infectious disease and contributes to a heightened level of immune protection. This function makes this product desirable for bodybuilders who have tough and rigorous training regiments and lack the needed sleep their bodies’ desire. It doesn’t take a genius to know the more primed the immune system the less chance you will have of experiencing the "overtraining syndrome".

Is it beneficial to stack 19-Nor… with Diol-5? Absolutely, these two products actually combine to form the most potent anabolic-stimulating stack legally available. Take 19-Nor and Diol-5 about 60 minutes prior to exercise on an empty stomach with water. In addition, keep your protein at about 2.0 grams/kg bodyweight and your calories high because you will need the calories for additional muscular growth. The most common mistake made by athletes using this stack is that they fail to recognize the importance of providing the nutrients their body need to grow. If you don’t have the protein you can’t grow, period. ……………….
