    Mick you should add in the benefit of taking Stane with dietary fats. 40% increased absorption.

    Funny you point that out. Ive come across that a couple of times as well, but i have yet to locate any clinical data supporting it. Im not suggestion it doesn't exist, just that i haven't yet found anything - I wish i could.

    Do you have anything i can read Jimmy? If i can dig something up concrete i will definitely include it along with a link to support the claim.

    Thanks for taking the time to outline these details Mick. Based on this data I actually find Aromasin to be more attractive than Arimidex , although it appears to be important to begin administering Aromasin earlier to avoid an initial spike in estrogen early in the cycle. One thing I wanted to inquire about, though, are these two statements;

    "Aromasin not only increases testosterone and lowers estrogen, but it also increases levels of insulin -like growth Factor (IGF)"

    "The following observations were made:
    1. Plasma lipids and IGF-I concentrations were unaffected by treatment."


    Which is true, or did two separate studies come to two different conclusions regarding Aromasin?

    Mickey, you make my time on this forum much easier. For the past few days I've been reading up on both---and for some GD reason, I never came across this thread until this morning. You have a knack for posting info that is easily discernible, backed with facts. I work with the human body everyday and its nice to have a source to find legit info on areas I know nothing about. Just wanted to let you know its appreciated. I have browsed a few other sites and i'm telling you.....some of the guys/gals here almost have a PhD compared to the garbage they go off of.

    The first study concluded that it increased IGF. But noted "...there have been some additional researches related to Aromasin in men in pharmacokinetics."

    The second study IS the PK study that was referenced. Its from the University Of Florida. Re: Pharmacokinetics and Dose Finding of a Potent Aromatase Inhibitor, Aromasin (Exemestane), in Young Males.

    I was attempting illustrate that the increase in IGF is not conclusive. Perhaps i should, have attached a note. My apologies for the confusion Brian.

    Thanks Synergy.

    And i have to agree, this site is packed with knowledgeable members who's primary concern is the health and well being of its membership. It is, without a doubt, the Premiere of all the AAS sites and im proud to play a small role.

    Eh the main point - which you did convey is that there is not an adverse impact on igf. Based on the relationship between estrogen and igf and igf an er upregulation the simple fact that we can manage estrogen without an adverse impact on igf is huge and the main consideration. Any increase I have seen in studies with ai's where one is claimed is really clinically insignificant. You nailed the important part.

    and a study
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3201097/ This study was performed on women and Aromasin has been shown through clinical data to behave differently in Men.
    I just got around to taking a look at these Jimmy. Thanks!

    And Mickey. Excellent read. I saw this post a few days ago and just finally had a chance to go through it.

    Did you find any info on the dose of adex that caused the estrogen rebound? do you think tapering may be helpful to negate that affect? Or are the doses used by the aas community to low to see significant estrogen rebound while on adex.

    No i haven't but i think tapering is necessary. Tapering only prolongs the inevitable or the end game. I dont taper at all. I DO however titrate doses up or down as a necessary evil to control E2, but that's where i draw the line.
