Collagen synthesis=Better Skin?
ad
Hi everyone, I was just wondering since steroid like deca increases collagen synthesis does that mean you'll get younger looking skin while on it, since your body produces more collagen? Collagen is what makes people's face look young.

AnonYou aren't going to be on Deca long enough for it to reverse the signs of aging... but your joints are going to feel GREAT! additionally, it puts estrogen back into you joints not just collagen. The biggest factor for joint relief is the estradiol.
If someone wants the collagen benefit from deca do you think being on a very low dosage for a long time will be effective? Said 100mg a week for a year or more for a man?
Anonabsolutely not... there are no definitive studies on this and the risks of taking deca for extended periods of time far outweigh the intended benefits.. and MUCH LOWER dosages monthly are only intended to provide relief for people with joint problems. You want younger new skin there are several other non debilitating things a person can do without involving aas.
Thanks! I knew it was too good to be true when I read that deca increases collagen but couldn't find any study to back up the benefit it gives to skin.
