Armidex on cycle?

[Dw725]

So both products do the same thing? My resource (years ago) showed Adex is used for more severe cases of gyno, so use aromasin first since it's not as strong.

This statement doesn't appear to be accurate.

I've used only aromasin during my cycle when gyno was present, but should I not be? Should I use Adex instead?

What's your thoughts?

Yes, aromasin and arimidex ultimately do the same thing. They prevent aromatization. In short, you should use them to keep estrogen levels in a healthy range by checking with blood work. For treating gyno, a serm, such as nolvadex, is the best option of the gynecomastia has not been present for long. If it has, usually the only true permanent treatment is surgery to have it removed. In short, an ai will help keep estrogen under control while on cycle, while a serm will prevent estrogen from binding at receptors in breast tissue , but still allowing free estrogen to circulate in the body. This is a very brief and general description of how these drugs work though, and you should do a lot of your own research when considering use of either.

This is incorrect. Arimidex and aromasin are both ai's, where as nolva and other serms are what block at the receptor. All the talk of suicidal inhibitors and non suicidal makes little difference for the end user in my experience. Many claim the possibility of "estrogen rebound" with the non suicidal inhibitors but this is a myth.

They're both Al's and I never said otherwise. Aromasin is a suicidal AI, arimidex is a non-suicidal AI. That's the difference between the two. The advantage being you could run aromasin into pct. I'm not sure what you're arguing as my statement is factually correct.

You didn't say that at all. You said that arimidex blocked uptake to the receptor and it doesn't. You said that they're two different methods for controlling e2 and they aren't, they're both the same method, preventing aromatization. If it blocked at the receptor, it would be a selective estrogen receptor modulator, also known as a SERM, which is not the same as an ai. There is no argument here, so I'm in fact arguing nothing.

Got damn it, yes you're correct. Arimidex blocks uptake to the enzyme, not receptor, my verbage was incorrect. I'm running on no sleep today and my brain is frazzled. My apologies.
