Metabolites are not "stored" anywhere. After nandrolone is metabolized by the 5 alpha reductase enzyme, it's transported outside the cytoplasm, and begins circulation in the bloodstream, through the hepatic portal vain, and after one circulation, it is either excreted renally, or it will renter the cell memebrane and bind weakly to the androgen receptor on the nucleus.
How does "stored" even make sense? With that logic a urine sample would never detect nandrolone metabolites, which is clearly incorrect. Oh, and source:
William's Llewellyn's Book "Anabolics."
Explain to me, then, why nandrolone has a 9 month detection time... If it is so quickly released?
"Deca-Durabolin is
Nandrolone with the Deconoate ester attached allowing it to stay active for 21 days; however, its metabolites are present far longer in the body. 19-norandrosterone and 19-noreticholanolone appear to remain active for months after use, this may shed light on why its so hard to recover
natural testosterone levels. Deca-Durabolin is also known to last in an athletes blood for over 12-16 months which makes it a very bad choice for athletes or bodybuilders in tested sports.Deca-Durabolin is

"Parenteral administration of the long‐chain esters of 19‐nortestosterone may be detected for months, with anecdotal evidence pointing to more than 18 months past the last injection"

"How does "stored" even make sense?" Well, it is obviously "stored" somewhere over those 9-18 months, right?
Dr. Jim quotes a "multitude of studies" regarding it's storage in fat cells, I can see if I can dig some up, if necessary..
Bc Deca Is released SLOWLY from fatty tissue (where it is "stored" over time) the attached ester doesn't seem to make much of a difference really.
Thus if you want to recover from Nandrolone the key is to use a "low dosage" like no more than 100mg/week, a short cycle length (less than 4 weeks) AND run Nandrolone first in the cycle.
Bc Nandrolone is WELL documented to linger for up to a YEAR in some users, I suggest those over the age of 30 and those concerned about their virility in the near future, avoid this AAS altogether.
