That’s an age old debate.
According to some, it does nothing more, it’s just an anti inflammatory on top so that it reduces pain while on, others says it really has better effects at connective tissue than most other AAS.
I’m torn on the subject myself.
But, as long as shut down and recovery isn’t a big worry, it’s a nice compound.
I feel it has helped me with joint issues before.
Can I know for certain? No.
I tend to lean towards the notion that so many anecdotes about its supposed benefits may indeed mean it has some.
Ofcourse you’ll need to supplement test alongside it.
The only instance I’ve seen deca only use (for joint issues) was with a woman.
And yes it helped her. Would test have done the same?
Maybe (if we disregard the virilization issue)
But while you could include deca in your stack, don’t forget about glucosamine, gelatin and physio.
