Thread: Aromasin question

Aromasin lowers estradiol by inhibiting the aromase enzyme. This enzyme "converts" testosterone into estradiol, so by inhibiting the enzyme you can prevent too much testosterone from being converted into estradiol.

Symptoms of low estradiol are sore, achy joints, low libido and fatigue. I get these symptoms if my estradiol is in the teens. My "sweet spot" is mid twenties to mid thirties. I take 12.5 EOD on a test e cycle of 500/week. The stuff is great, no bloat, no high bp and no gyno!

I don't take it for the sake of taking it to "possible" prevent sides. I take it only if I need it. The cycles I did (both Test C at 400mg) I had it but never used it as I didn't need it. Maybe as I increase my Test dose things will be different. You will know if your E level is to low as exphys88 said about the symptoms.

A great idea is to get your estradiol check during cycle to figure out your dose needed to keep e2 in normal ranges. Just because someone doesn't get gyno symptoms doesn't mean their e2 isn't out of range. an estradiol test can be done without a dr order for about 45 bucks. lef.org is what i used and I get my results in 24 hours. I know that 12.5 of aromasin EOD keeps me in the perfect range.

thats what i have read is 12.5 eod works well for most, now is this throughout cycle and pct? or just once you exhibit some kind of symptom of high estro

I am not qualified to give out recommendations. But, most of the mods on here recommend running an ai throughout cycle and during pct though. For me, the peace of mind about not getting gyno is why I decided to run it during cycle. I also have no bloat or high bp from keeping my estradiol in a normal range. and, I have had one zit and I'm on week 8. Don't know if this is from keeping estradiol levels normal or if I'm just not prone to acne.

I would also assume that a man doesn't want estradiol levels similar to a woman either. Hopefully a more experienced user will chime in and correct me where I'm wrong.
