    why are people recomended old pct ai's serms??

    Why do people on here recommend older pct products on the forums Q's and A's?, when theres a new generation of products out, i see it done all the time on this board example...

    Letrozole (Femara) is the chemical name of Novartis´ selective third generation Aromatase Inhibitor YET! people on here reccomend old stuff like it's predecessor Arimidex.


    why not recomend pct products that are newer and 3 times more effective?

    It seems like alot of new people to the boards are getting over whelmed with all the different pct products out. Every one that comments on pct has there own recomendations, i understand everyone is different, but why not recomend the best when it comes to pct?

    Letrozole (Femara) also does quite a few things which would be of interest to both bodybuilders and athletes. Firstly, it has been shown to reduce estrogen levels by 98% Yet once again people recomend In Arimidex were shown to decrease estrogen by roughly 50%.


    obviously letro is better yet arimidex is reccomended alot on the boards. That is info off steriod profiles On this website.

    I don't want to lower estrogen too much with a suicide inhibitor. You should have some estrogen still imo, and 98% reduction is a lot. I just use enough to not get gyno etc. Plus if it's not broke then why fix it.

    An effective dose of Letrozole (Femara) is .25-.5mg/day (I use .25mgs/day), but be forewarned, if you go over that amount, it can kill your sex drive.


    yeah if you stick to the right amout your safe.

    arimadex is for lighter cycles. letro for heavier. estrogen has nearomuscular benefits, as well as glut 4 receptor site enhancing ability. it also increases androgen receptors in muscles.

    Also worth noting is that there´s a rebound effect on your estrogen when you come off Letrozol.

    compared with Aromasin and Arimidex, it´s too other main rivals? Well, In non-cellular systems, Letrozole (Femara) is 2-5 times more potent than anastrozole

    Could you use Letro less often at lower doses and keep estrogen low but not too low. Would it cause a rollercoaster effect? Do the estrogen levels change too fast with letro to do this and cause unwanted side effects?

    its not all about potency mate.....
    Letro is hellish for some ppls sex drive at ANY dose, and can also make people feel lethargic as it works too well. There is a time and a place for letro but also for the other AIs. It ***ends on your goals.

    how much letro does it take to lower estrogen levels 98%? cause im guessing when someone is running letro at 2.5mg ed for gyno then estrogen levels are lowered 98%. but what about other doses? it has to ***-end on the dose. if not, someone please school me.

    You're oversimplifying the situation, sounding very naive and one-dimensional.

    I am not talking abt just Letro but generally:

    - many compounds effect different people differently
    - most people have not tried EVERY AI/SERM product out there. With an avg of 1-2 cycles a year, that is improbable for a majority of members
    - taking gear has a kind of superstition-mentality to it.... if it ain't broken, people tend not to want to fix it (even if there are better products out there)..."if so and so PCT has worked flawlessly in the past, why change it?", for one
    - The availability of newer compounds do not obviate the efficacy of its predecessors
    - Older compounds generally have more studies, research and experiences to back them up.

    Trust me. I've been around here for almost 5 yrs now and the number of "new" gear and ancillaries have increased exponentially... a lot of members are going crazy just keeping track...so they cling to what they know works for them

    cheers

    P.S. This is not a flame bro, just my .02

    i think it takes a while for people to catch on and u know what they say about old habits. as for letro it is strong stuff as u stated but its not always necesary and can hurt gains while on cycle but necesary for some who are very gyno prone.arimidex can be very effective for most while on cycle to prevent gyno and is less likely to affect gains as it leaves some estrogen around which makes for better gains. as for pct arimidex isnt really recommended as in that instance it can drive estrogen levels too low because there isnt all that extra test or other compounds aromatizing. i think it gets confusing as certain things are better while on and certain things are better while off so it can be a little overwhelming to say the least.
