Curious about some opinions:
Since Deca (3 mg/kg a week or about 270 mg/wk for a 200 lb male) has been said to increase procollagen III levels by 270% by the second week. Procollagen III being a primary indicator used to determine the rate of collagen synthesis. If an athlete had a partial tendon tear, would his healing time be cut in half if he supplemented with deca vs. an athlete that did not? Or would it matter since the those repaired cells need to mature after a period of several months to be their full strength?
