Aromasin question

Is taking aromasin 12.5 mg eod or 6.25mg ed better. I have 12.5mg capsules, so cutting in half is not possible. I can open the capsules and half the powder, but is this worth the time as far as effectiveness. Thanks!!
 
for males more seems to be needed, i would even rec 12.5m-25mg ed...
so try our 12.5mg eod to start. if you need more, make its ed or double dose for the eod dosing. IMO
 
When I actually started taking AIs, I got bunk arimidex. I switched back to regular RC company and ran Aromasin at 10mg ed (that is how they have it dosed per mL). I started at 10mg but the normal dose seems to be 12.5mg ED. I noticed when taking it (I run all short esters, i.e. test prop, tren ace) I would bloat up as usual and gain a good 6 pounds within 5 days, and then maybe 3 days later I would drop 3 of the 6 lbs (I assuming this is from the Aromasin, without it I just stay puffy). I think I will start running my AI a few days prior to starting my cycles.

Only reason I started running AIs is because my estradiol levels were high. At 700mg of test prop I was running CEM arimidex at .25, bumped up to .5mg ED and E2 was still 78+ pg/mL. I really don't have any issues with gyno, but my nipples start to get puffy when I run prop at around 700mg a week (100mg ED). I never had issues otherwise running prop around 500-600mg a week except bloating bad. Even though I run test prop at like 70mg ED now and Tren Ace at like 70-80mg, I still use an AI because it prevents the excessive weight gain and the puffy stomach.
 
eod could work only real way of knowing is experimenting with yourself and getting bloodworm in with it. I believe it has a 24hr life. Don't quote me on that can't recall fully at the moment
 
Now that you mention it, it does have a considerably short half life. I've read stuff that said 20-30 hours and then I read something that said it can have a half life of only around 9 hours when used by young males. Really needs to be taken at least ED IMO. And if the 9 hour thing is true, might be optimal to spread out dosage :(. I haven't looked into it enough.
I read about the half life of toremifene being shorter in males than females as well.

12.5 mg ED or 25 mg EOD for most large gentlemen. If you're not a gentleman, use less.:D

I use Aromasin all the time. Much better than A-Dex which affects cholesterol levels to some degree. I had a small amount of build up behind the nipples ran the Aromasin at 1ml per day for 7 days and all build up vanished. I keep it at around 0.5ml a day and if I notice any build up forming I bump it up to 1ml for a few days and its gone. Its best to take this everyday because the product has a half life of 24 hours.
 
12.5 ed or 25ed

just depends on how you are feeling and what sides you might be experiencing.

If i start to feel lethargic i know that i have crushed my estrogen and i back the dose off.
 
I feel aromasin kills your estrogen too much while arimidex lets some stay in play. Remember estrogen plays a vital role. Just my personal opinion. I know nonetheless aromasin is the choice during pct without the option.
 
I would stay away from AI during pct and just stick to serms but that's just my personal opinion based on research. There are plenty who run AI during pct.
 
I've done EOD works fine... 27hour half life but it is a suicide inhibitor so since it kills estrogen wouldn't it take time to build it back up? Surely 1 day in between wont be detrimental. but if it doesnt work 4 ya just take more... gyno takes time 2 develop.
 
"There is a great study on the pharmacokinetics of exemestane in men which found the following:
-24 hours after one 25mg dose estrogen levels are reduced by 70-80%
-72 hours later estrogen levels are still 40% below baseline even though the drug itself is almost completely eliminated"
-120 hours after initial dose estrogen levels return to baseline (without rebounding)
Completely forgot bout this! exemastane in clinicals hope it helps ya!

this means that you can find the timing and dosage that works for you, i've seen some guys recommend between 25mg ed and 12.5mg e4d, and you can see why both are effective while providing different levels of estrogen suppression, and it is this flexibility that makes exemestane such a versatile anti-e.

BUT WAIT, there's more. Aromasin is also a badass post cycle therapy (pct) drug! In males exemestane was found to increase total testosterone by ~60% after 10 days @ 25mg/day, however the same study found that while it increased total testosterone by 60% free testosterone was increased by over 100 percent! that's right, it DOUBLES bio-available testosterone (natty of course).
 
I run aromasin during pct now. And as soon as I taper down and stop I start losing strength. Then I come off the serm and lose more gains. But for the duration I am running aromasin and toremifene together I lose almost no strength gains. I've done this with 2 on 2 off cycles. Running aromasin the 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off (lower dose) with toremifene during the off weeks. I will do this about 3 times maybe 4 then take 6 weeks off. The 2 week off periods I experience minor loss of gains since adding aromasin into pct. When I decide to come off for 4-6 weeks my strength levels start falling dramatically after pct though. I'm thinking of using hCG during the longer pct and off period and seeing how well that holds up. Trouble finding hCG now though.
