Nebido is an extremely large/long ester base testosterone compound that is primarily used in the treatment of low testosterone. Comprised of Testosterone Undecanoate, this is the same hormone and ester used in the anabolic steroid Andriol, an oral testosterone capsule. However, Nebido is an injectable testosterone hormone and carries a much longer activity time post administration. Nebido is a relatively new anabolic steroid that was first brought to the market in 2004 by Schering AG. It has been approved for the treatment of androgen deficiencies in most countries around the world. However, in the U.S. the pharmaceutical company Indevus owns the rights to the Nebido line, and it has yet to reach full FDA approval in the U.S. That could very well change in the near future, and there’s no logical reason for it not to; however, Nebido has had a difficult time gaining U.S. FDA approval for reasons that are somewhat unknown. Although primarily viewed as a testosterone compound for the treatment of low testosterone, Nebido can be used for performance enhancing purposes. However, it is not all that common among athletes and gym rats due to its very slow acting nature. Results could easily be obtained with this compound similar to the more popular testosterones in Testosterone Cyp. and Testosterone Enan.
