Anastrozole

[Tank]

anastrozole seems to be the best ancillary compound around for use on a cycle. First off, 1mg per day of this stuff (J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2000 Jul;85(7):2370-7 ) was shown to decrease estrogen by about 50% and increase testosterone levels by 58%. That’s a level of estrogen suppression I’m very comfortable with on virtually any cycle. Interestingly, that same study showed that those results were had with .5mgs/day as well. So, since you can elevate testosterone, lower estrogen (but not excessively), and keep healthy joints and lipids, and do this at a half mg per day.

i thought arimidex wrecked lipid profiles??

here we go...as told by BigCat

"A second problem is that estrogen seems to have a positive effect on cholesterol levels. Since estrogen is reduced, the use of arimidex may have a profound impact on HDL to LDL ratio's in your cholesterol profile. In this aspect the use of Nolvadex is more user-friendly, because despite its anti-estrogenic effects in most tissues, it seems to exert positive estrogenic effects in the liver and promote a better cholesterol profile."

i use nolva throughout cycles, including pct. however, it is carcinogenic...something to keep in mind.

Seems that there is some concern over this. I LOVE Google Scholar. :D

well then, I stand corrected. However, I don't think I will be diagnosed with problems of the endometrium in the near future. I guess the problem with using drugs intended for the other sex is the lack of research on it's effects in men......
