Exemestane year round... possible?

[XxAndreaxX]

Hi, did not find anything on the net about this so I’m asking. I’m not speaking of taking exemestane with TRT year round. I say to take Exemestane for boosting natural test production and lower a little bit estro. I know exemestane if taken at low doses, lowers estro but is not so agressive. And if test gets higher, estro will also get higher so result could be only less estro but much higher test. Are there any side effects someone should consider?? Does stane affect somehow HPTA in a negative way??
I’m obviously not planning to do that, its more like an educational quiestion.
Thanks!!

Interested on this too ^^^^

I'm on exemestane year round for TRT. 12.5mg a day. No side effects , but long term effects, who knows. Many guys on this board are on year round

Same here - #'s were perfect last BW

This time I am trying out 12.5mg EOD due to cost mainly and I dropped my test dose a tad.

yeah but you're both on TRT right??
how would this affect to someone that's not on TRT? any sides to the HPTA??

Why would you need to run a Ai year round while not on TRT?


If your e2 is naturally high there has to be a better way of managing it then just running a Ai, right?

Funny you mention that because that seems to be the million dollar question and the standard answer seems to be to get your bloods drawn and talk to you doctor. Ok......... So if I cut out e2 related foods/beverages and it is still out of whack what then? A serm or AI protocol for life? I would like to hear of a better way to mange e2 as well.....good point

You could lower your test dose for TRT, use DIM copper and zinc, change your injection protocol to help E2 spikes

There are many studies and articles on it, just google AI and testosterone.

Basically taking AI improves testosterone levels in adult men - in those with functioning HPTA (by inhibiting conversion of test to e2, e2 being much more inhibitory on HPTA than test)

Plausible side effect is lower estrogen, for details feel free to google that as well.

Those are good suggestions( I am on 125 mgs a week and if my e2 were an issue would split the dose) but some guys just have naturally high e2 and it seems like there options are sorta limited. There are a ton of good protocols to follow on the site for dealing with gyno symptoms on and off cycle just don't see a whole lot for e2 control when it isn't cycle related. Lowering your bodyfat and a solid diet/vitamins can only help but then what?

Ehhh, get sauced & keep your #'s in check < Works for me @ least

It would depend on just how high above normal the E2 levels were. Some people may be slightly out of range but feel perfect. If that's the case I wouldn't see a reason to jump on an AI or lower it just bc.

Agreed!

Ok guys thanks for the answers, but you all focus on E2 and TRT patients... My goal by doing AI, is not to lower E2, but tu raise natural test.
Obviously, E2 will fall too as secondary effect, and that might be a good thing.
So the purpose, is generic well being, and slight more power.
The question is, will it have some negative effect on HPTA?
Once I stop doing AI, will there be any rebound efect??
My mental process is this: AI kills estro, HPTA will raise test to restore estro levels. Once stopped AI supply, Test will be higher than normal, so estro will get higher too. HPTA might suppress test production, to restore E2 balance.
I read about AIFM treatment, that’s basically 6 OXO with DHEA, and basically Exemestane.

E2 dropping as a result of AI use would be a primary effect not secondary. The increase in test levels would be secondary and no it's not worth it.

yeah of course haha, sorry, my order was like, primary goal to raise test, secondary goal to lower E2. Why do you say, its not worth it? any further sides??

Bc the slight increase in test levels won't do anything for you.

Using an AI for performance enhancement isn't a good idea. You disturb your endocrine system and get little to no results. A prohormone like MSTEN would be a much better idea for 4-6 weeks if orals are the way you want to go. Then clomid for 3-4 weeks to jumpstsrt

No bro, thanks, no oral cycle for me. I intended this for overall well being, I know it won’t give any considerable strenght gains, if not even 250mg of test do hehe.
