Finasteride? Need help

**brad1986** · 06-05-2010, 01:17 PM

IS this compound only beneficial for prostate reasons or does it help prevent shutdown of hpta? Im wondering if running finasteride along side with my next cycle would be a good idea for maintaining gains? Is there any negatives with it? less gains, liver toxic, etc? Thanks. I dont have hcg but was reading that in a way they are simalar.

Less strength, less hardness, less boners, more estrogen and bloat. Unless you have prostate issues or care more about your hair than your body (and sex life), don't worry about the stuff. It won't reduce HPTA suppression. And it isn't anything like hcg .

??????????????
What gave you that idea?
Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, meaning that it prevents the conversion of test to DHT.
Torem is a SERM. They have nothing in common.

For what purpose? HMB is a worthless leucine metabolite (at a cost-effective dose).
BTW, I think you meant HMG, which is a mixture of FSH, LH and hCG .
