I have a bottle but have not used it but it is an AI dosed at 25mg. to 50mg. per day.......I certainly need an anti-aromatase inhibitor because i am holding a lot of water and especially around my face with a SuS blend at 1000mg. per week....

Have you used Exemestane and could you comment on how well it did or did not work???

All the AI products work about the same, for me. If you use aromasin, 25mg/day should be fine. For the price, I prefer arimidex.

Aromasin (exemestane) is fast acting, blood levels hit their peak within 1 hour of administration. The half life is roughly 9-12 hours so a daily dose at the same time each day is necessary. It is not necessary to take multiple doses per day. 25mg's becomes 12.5mg's at 12 hours +/- which becomes 6.25mg's at 24 hours +/- at which time you take another dose.

Arimidex and letrozole have longer half lives and cost less, which is why I prefer them however, it's whatever you like. One of the possibly nice things about aromasin is, and I'm not sure why this is but, some studies find no impact on blood lipid levels. Normally, if estrogen is reduced, that has a negative impact on blood lipid levels.

Can you post these studies bro if it is all possible?

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

Go to the National Center for Biotechnology Information and study to your heart's content. It's pretty self-explanatory as to how to find what you want.

P.S. for those of you who have a phobia of reading scientific studies, here's one abstract on a study just published, regarding aromasin. Keep in mind, you can not necessarily directly take as gospel information from one study. You need to read multiple studies and start seeing what's consistent and what's not consistent among them.

Suppression of estrogen, via estrogen receptor or aromatase blockade, is being investigated in the treatment of different conditions. Exemestane (Aromasin) is a potent and selective irreversible aromatase inhibitor. To characterize its suppression of estrogen and its pharmacokinetic (PK) properties in males, healthy eugonadal subjects (14-26 yr of age) were recruited. In a cross-over study, 12 were randomly assigned to 25 and 50 mg exemestane daily, orally, for 10 d with a 14-d washout period. Blood was withdrawn before and 24 h after the last dose of each treatment period. A PK study was performed (n = 10) using a 25-mg dose. Exemestane suppressed plasma estradiol comparably with either dose [25 mg, 38% (P </= 0.002); 50 mg, 32% (P </= 0.008)], with a reciprocal increase in testosterone concentrations (60% and 56%; P </= 0.003 for both).

Plasma lipids and IGF-I concentrations were unaffected by treatment. The PK properties of the 25-mg dose showed the highest exemestane concentrations 1 h after administration, indicating rapid absorption. The terminal half-life was 8.9 h. Maximal estradiol suppression of 62 +/- 14% was observed at 12 h. The drug was well tolerated. In conclusion, exemestane is a potent aromatase inhibitor in men and an alternative to the choice of available inhibitors. Long-term efficacy and safety will need further study.
 
It is an aromatase inhibitor (AI), which by binding with the aromatase enzyme, reduces the amount of estrogen the body can produce. That is different than an estrogen blocker like nolvadex or clomid. Any of these can help reduce estrogen's side-effects. You just need to learn about them all and decide which is right for you in a given situation.

I think i need this one due to water retention in my face and puffiness around my eyes.....The Nolvadex is not helping at all and i just started the other today.....

Your da man,.Hey btw you ever think of publishing a book on studies and tactics of aas?
