Taking an Aromatase Inhibitor Off Cycle
I was kicking around an idea today. Do any of you take an aromatase inhibitor (adex, exemestane) off cycle? I know these compounds will lower estrogen and raise test levels. My gut feeling is this is a bad idea, but I feel like I'm gaining fat easier than usual and my test levels are a low after PCT. Thoughts?
Re: Taking an Aromatase Inhibitor Off Cycle
Im off and im taking adex for the first time. 1mg a day... Doin it as a test run and its workin for me. Im on a natural pct as well. I usually do a nolva/clomid pct but im doin a test run to see how it works. So far so good!
Re: Taking an Aromatase Inhibitor Off Cycle
adex is my prefferred, depending on how much AAS you were taking and for how long, you may be better off with clomid and some tribulus
Re: Taking an Aromatase Inhibitor Off Cycle
never though of it. i usually take dex or caber or both depending on what im using and when i pct if usually take clomid and aromasin but ive never ran anything execpt formeron off cycle
Re: Taking an Aromatase Inhibitor Off Cycle
An AI off cycle will increase test levels and reduce estro.
Youll want to use a suicidal AI like Formeron or aromasin ...NOT adex.
Its not a bad idea if you have been abusing AAS for a while and feel like test levels might be a little low. An AI will increase levels considerably....even beyond reference range.
I suggest Formeron.
Suicidal AI.
I have seen bloodwork where the test subjects total T increased 800% and Free T was elevated to almost 60% above the reference range. This is comparable to a light cycle.
In addition, Formeron is a mild prohormone so youlll get some muscle growth and strength increase from this as well ;)

I had someone on another board come to me via PM complaining of symptoms of low T coupled with several year worth of bloodwork indicating a total T level under 100ng/dl (ref range 350-1100ng/dl)
ANd a free T of 7 I believe.
This had been consistent for over 3 years.
2 pumps of FOrmeron daily for 6 days followed by 6 days off then bloodwork. Here are the results.

Youll notice his total Test went up over 700%..
But his Free test went up 3400%.....so much that its 87 points outside the reference range......thats high enough to illicit abnormal anabolism.
Re: Taking an Aromatase Inhibitor Off Cycle
Wow, now I really need to get some formeron! I noticed formeron is also considered a "prohormone" (via their website). Will this eventually shut down the HPTA axis if used off cycle?
Re: Taking an Aromatase Inhibitor Off Cycle
as for arimidex, it can mess with your cholesterol if you drop your estrogen too low. Short term PCT should be fine.

THere is no actual medical research indicating suppression so its only assumed. WHat is proven is Formeron actually Helps the HPTA by elevating test and lowering estro.
I would assume that eventually, at a high enough dose the PH would begin to inhibit HPTA, however, bloodwork I have seen indicates that as doses up to 5 pumps per day (7.5ml)
OR 357MG daily there is no suppresssion.

Thanks, so as far as dosage, 3 pumps daily while on cycle, and one pump daily during PCT or off cycle dosing?
Oh, and can I ditch the exemestane while on cycle if using formeron? Is this safe?
