Question on NPP vs Deca for joints

ad

ran NPP at 150 mg/week for 16 weeks with Test C at 300 mg/week, and my lipids took a hit. I know 150 mg isn't a huge NPP dose, but it was enough to affect my cholesterol numbers.

Has anyone here run Deca at a lower dose (80–100 mg/week)? If so, did you still notice a significant impact on your lipids, or was it much easier on cholesterol markers?
Any suggestions for reducing the lipid impact while still getting some of the joint/recovery benefits would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am 43, right now i am crusing just test c 200 mg.

I run it at 100mg for joints... definitely if im running winny. I only use if for a couple months at a time now. I do have issues with high lipids when im on cycle. I cant be sure it was from the small dose of Deca and not something else. I just assume thats the cost of being on cycle and using certain compounds. Youre labs are most likely gonna be off running anything more than trt doses of test for long periods. You could try halving your dose!

Wish I could suggest something for the joint pain! TUDCA has really benefited my labwork. Im pretty sure its responsible for keeping my blood healthy the past couple years. I dont do labwork as often as I should but... ive had health issue with my liver, I usually expect my labwork while im on cycle to be pretty bad but since ive been taking tudca while on. My Dr has been saying my labs looks pretty good, considering the years of damage Ive done to it. And someone on here recommended Citris bergamot. I just started using it.

Ran 100mg deca on top of 200 test c for about 18 weeks before i started my current cycle. Nothing of note on my lipids. My HDL naturally runs in the lower side, usually in the high 30s, and my LDL and triglycerides stayed in optimal ranges, had two panels done during that time frame. I'm also very much on top of my ancillaries as well, citrus bergamot, nac, injectable glutathione, injectable nad+ and whatnot. No experience with npp yet, so can't tell you how it compares. Plan on using it for my next push starting in December/ January.

My lipids have always been trash but I run 50mg of deca for joints and have not noticed any increase on the lipids. I did get lower levels when I started Reta and now I have been taking citrus bergamot but have not gotten labs since I started it.

Agreed. I also run ezetimbe 10mg with rosuvastatin nightly and my lipids stay great even when running anavar 2Omg daily non workout days 50mg workout days.

Yes, a lot of dudes come off during their health phase and labs are back to a healthy normal. Although this can be a bit deceiving, don’t want to come off then spike again
