Armidex/letrozole

When is the use of femara better than dex, or vise versa?

[almostgone]

Femera is supposed to do better at minimizing water retention

femara blocks like 98% of all estrogen but needs to be taken 4-6 weeks prior to cycle to build up in the body. Also, i asked in another post because i had a question about it, but i had been told that femara lowers the androgenic effects of the juice, therefore, lowering your gains.........i am not for sure on this and would like to know cause if it duz i would steer clear of it.

does femara really need to be taken that long before a cycle to build up i men 4-6 weeks sound like a long time?

No it doesn't take that long.

Or so it seems
Below is a caption from a study on Letrozole 's effect towards gonatrophin concentrations

Aromatase inhibitors in men

The effect of aromatase inhibition on male gonadotrophin and sex steroid concentrations is illustrated in the paper by Trunet et al. (1993): 2.5 mg letrozole suppressed plasma oestradiol concentrations to less than 50% of pretreatment after 2 days, with recovery to approximately pretreatment values after 6 days. These decreases were accompanied by increased gonadotrophin concentrations, with resultant increases of approximately 50% in plasma testosterone. These results, and those previously published (Bhatnagar et al. 1992) on the effects of fadrozole in men, indicate that the aromatization pathway is of major importance in the regulation of gonodotrophin secretion by aromatically androgens
