Hi Guys,
I would like to get some expert views on Adex v Aromasin, both during cycle and in PCT.
1. Which one is considered best on cycle? Sides aside, which one is considered best in controlling estrogen while not inhibiting muscle growth.
2. I’ve read conflicting views on the use of an AI during PCT. And would like some expert opinion on this.
3. What is viewed as the ideal doses for each of these AI’s, both on cycle and in PCT? For sake of argument, let’s assume a moderate ass dosage for a standard 12 week cycle.
I’d also like to state my opinions on the above, which can be confirmed or completely ripped to shreds by the vets…
1. Adex is preferable on cycle. Reasoning – Adex reduces estrogen but does not permanently disable aromatase enzyme. A degree of estrogen is required for effective muscle building and general well being. Adex would thus create a situation where the body’s estrogen production isn’t completely shut down, while still controlling the negative effects of heightened estrogen levels.
2. Aromasin is preferable during PCT. Reasoning – Adex will to some degree stop aromatization, but once you stop using it the enzymes can rebound and cause estrogen rebound. You obviously don’t want this to happen on or after PCT. Using Aromasin will prevent any potential estrogen effects during pct and rebound after pct by permanently disabling aromatase enzyme.
3. I’ve read multiple opinions and gotten the same mixed views from user that I’ve asked in person.
Adex on cycle can vary from 0.25mg EOD to 1mg ED. It seems the only way to get an exact required dosage is by having regular bloods done? My view is to start adex up to a week before cycle starts @0.25 ED and working my way up to 0.5mg ED towards end of cycle.
Aromasin appears to be dosed @12mg EOD to 20mg ED both on cycle and during PCT.
Will appreciate your opinions and personal experience guys.
