Makes sense because masteron has all those qualities. And it's a progesterone or progesterone derived hormone if I'm not mistaken.

Yes and Deca is a progesterone based steroid as well...
Progesterone Pro's(from what I read):
-Has a synergistic effect on Testosterone that enhances its muscle building effects, to the point some consider it a secondary male sex hormone
-Most potent known inhibitor of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme(DHT) via its metabolite 17-0H-progesterone. By blocking this enzyme it promotes higher T levels in the body while reducing male pattern baldness and prostate enlargement issues. Used in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in men via a transscrotal delivery system.
-Antagonizes Estrogen via several mechanisms. It competes for the receptor with estrogen and regulates cell metabolism to promote the oxidative pathway preventing the conversion of the weaker Estrone into the stronger Estradiol.
-Increases the body's use of fat stores for energy
-Increases Libido
-Corrects ED via the same pathway as Viagara, enhancing NO production. A progesterone/testosterone cream was able to help correct the hormonal imbalance commonly found in men with erectile dysfunction
-Helps to normalize blood sugar levels
-Helps to normalize thyroid function
-Stimulates new bone formation
-Improves brain function and has anti-depressant properties
-Acts as a natural diuretic in opposition to estrogen's tendency to hold in water.
-Improves skin problems such as acne, rosacea, seborrhea and
PSORIASIS
-Effective as a gyno treatment
-Diminishes muscle and joint aches and pains and has anti-inflammatory properties via activation of the p53 gene and increase in natural anti-inflammatory compounds IL-10 and TH-2 cytokines which suppress the pro inflammatory TH-1 cytokines. Also reduces the Natural Killer(NK) cells and other markers of inflammation in the body. Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP) play a key role in inflammation--estrogen maintains secretion of these proteins while progesterone inhibits them. Reduces the expression of pro-inflammatory genes and their protein products.
-Prevents lipid peroxidation and confers vascular protection. It has an anti-atherogenic action by preventing the conversion of cholesterol into cholesteryl ester.
-Prevents vasoconstriction by increasing levels of nitric oxide (NO), which causes vasodilation allowing blood vessels to relax, and so widens them allowing more blood to flow through and it inhibits platelet aggregation.
-Helps with both depression and insomnia as it raises serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is our 'happy' neurotransmitter, it is also the precursor to melatonin (the 'sleep' hormone).
-Has a calming effect by activating the GABA receptor sites via its metabolite Allopreganolone. GABA is our most calming, inhibitory neurotransmitter and effective against some forms of epilepsy.
-Stimulates leptin secretion
-Acts indirectly to increase aldosterone by mechanisms similar to sodium restriction
-Promotes regeneration and myelination of axons
-Has a neuroprotective and antioxidant effect in injured nervous system
-Has multiple effects on glial cells
-The progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone reduces the brain's response to stress
