Arimidex comes in 1 mg tablets, right; half a tablet would be 0.5 mg correct? But here is the question, and 0.25 mg of Arimidex ??
Half a tablet of Aromasin is 12.5 mg. Because an entire tablet is 25 mg
Administration of these aromatase inhibitors in the cycle. Should it be every other day, or only every 3 days?
Thats correct. And a quarter tablet is .25Quote:

Are these dosages effective? Is 1 mg anastrozole considered harmful in cycles?
.. So I would like to know how experienced steroid users have found that 0.5 to 0.25 mg of arimidex is a proper dose ... I hear a lot out there: -Don't take AI in your cycle that you will fuck your winnings !! Nowadays I run my cycle only with Nolvadex - but I confess that I am a little apprehensive ...
Technically you’re supposed to get your E2 checked during cycle to see if the adex/aromasin is working...you adjust your dose accordingly if your E is high on cycle and you’re taking .25 adex eod then bump it to .5 and so on....
CUZ
Thanks for answering warrior.
Do you think a mid-cycle test is required for (sensitive or ultrasensitive E2)? Hearing that the basic E2 exam is not so accurate for us men
As long as I think I'm within range of E2, I may be above range. Just over the limit is not too big for many people, but some are overly sensitive and "prone to gynecomastia"; so just as I am not super experienced, I would need to keep an eye on it - getting a sensitive E2 panel. ?
Wait for us to answer before writing more questions.
A lot of people here just won't run an adex or aromasin (spelling?) unless they start getting gyno symptoms (they block the conversion of test to estrogen). You were told earlier how to dose it. Due to their half lives adex is EOD and asin is ED. Sensitive estrogen is fine unless you're taking tren
Other people will run a SERM (such as tamoxifen) so the estrogen does get converted, but cant bind to the breast tissue and cause gyno regardless. Idk what the dosing is for that, it's ED, probably 10mg
Or what I do because I don't like dealing with this crap, don't want to pay money for the bloodwork, and get estrogen sides easily: just run TrT test, and run other compounds that don't aromatize so you don't have to deal w it
It would help next time to phrase your question more generally, such as "I dont want to risk estrogen side effects, how should I go about using an AI?" A series of questions like that will take a very long time to get to the answer you're looking for
Depends on the cycle IMO
I really changed my mind on needing an Ai on every cycle - I only use to use xTane(Aromasin) but, now on low dosed cycles I don't use shit
It never really gave me sides, but less is more is my new strategy
I don't use Exemestane, Tamoxifen or Anastrozole on cycle. To me it doesn't make sense to cycle and run gear that is purposefully raising your estrogen levels just to take a bunch of harsh chemicals to crash that estrogen that was purposefully raised. If you are very sensitive to estrogen sides then the answer is very simple - don't run compounds that aromatize! As far as the tren goes - the sides you are getting there are from elevated progesterone and prolactin levels - not from estrogen and therefore is treated with different compounds.

Quartering it is correct.Quote:

I am on the same page here, except I do believe there are natural options available for helping to combat the estrogen without reducing it too much. I have been taking grape seed extract due to some pretty intriguing studies and have found that I love it. Seems to be the right amount of AI reduction without getting rid of too much estrogen and its not harsh like the other AI's. I will link to one of the many studies out there on it and hopefully that's not against any rules.Quote:
