Airsealed2, YOU ARE THE MAN!!! I swear to God, I learn something new from half your posts!!!
Aromasin is something I've only used once or twice, and didn't care for it then(It may have well been fake)... I did research it to a fair degree before decicing to use it rather than adex or femara(the couple times I used it)..I researched it and used it right when it first was available as a prescription drug... (I forgot a few things that I had read concerning a-sin)... what I did remember is that it bound to the aromatase enzyme irreversibly and exhibited inhibition in that way....
I did not dig deep enough at that point to look at the actual chemical structure of a-sin...(it is very similar to androstenedione)...I just found that out as I was looking up info, because I didn't quite understand as2's post,....
So, I don't know where you got your info, AS2, but it is 100% true and accurate!! this compound can bind to e2 receptors(and block activity), as well as inhibit aromatase activity(both systemically, and site specifically)!!!
Now, I'm going to theorize a little here: aromasin should also be able to bind to SHBG in the same manner and 'deactivate' it to some degree.. lowering the amount in the body....so, you have more 'free' test(or whatever else you are taking) to act on the AR(because it is free and unbound)/.... I may, in the near future, test this theory by getting a 'baseline' free test %'... then one after a month of a-sin use.... I would wager money that this is the case..
With all these characteristics that are so highly sought after, Aromasin will soon be a part of my protocol(of course the real stuff this time... and, I know just the guy I'll go to for it!!)
Thank you Airsealed2!! You bring an abundance of knowledge to this board!!!!
