Proviron - is it effective enough?

[tadpoleboyy]

I have seen too many varying oppinions about proviron and its effectiveness as an AI. so my question is, based on your experience, is proviron really a good AI to use on its own for lets say a standard 500/wk test cycle, or is it too weak to warrant proper use? Would it prevent gyno, or is it better to use something else? And does its SHBG binding abilities really do that much, has anyone noticed a large difference in a test cycle when on and not on proviron?

Personal experience... I've used 25mg Prov. with 10 mg Nolva ED while on 500 mg Sustanon EOD and got no gyno nor bloat... that's me!!

id like to know the answer to this too

I've never noticed enough difference to warrant wasting the money. It's a very weak AI - other standard AIs are cheaper. Plus once you suppress SHBG for a little bit, the body makes more. So then what?

I just hope that if you're worrying about something as minor as Proviron, you must already have your nutrition and rest down perfect, since they'll make a MUCH bigger difference than any difference little old Proviron would make.

On 500mg os test/week, Proviron is usually enough to prevent estrogenic sices. But if you are running a 19nor or are prone to estrogenic sides I would have a more effective AI in hand. As for the difference about cycling with or without it I would not know because I never cycled without it.

I'll bet $500 that some dildo has recently written an article suggesting that people use Proviron for every cycle, talking it up as if it's way more effective than what the rest of us who have been around already know it is. Seems to be all the rage on the popular "follow the fad" message boards, but the hardcore users don't even waste their time on it unless it falls in their lap.

im just curious because i havent really seen much about it, and i can get it at prices = that of letro and adex. If i could take an AI that would prevent gyno and have a androgenic component that would harden me up, i so no reason to use something else.

Proviron is not an Aromatase Inhibitor and should not be thought of as such. It is not a good substitute for a real AI such as Arimidex, Letro and Exemestane.

I have used it during cycle and pct before but not as an AI. Mainly used it to help increase the effectiveness of the testosterone I was using. To be honest I never really felt anything that I would attribute to the proviron. If I could get it really cheap, I might run it again at a higher dose.

I ran proviron and no anti-e with a test/EQ cycle and found out that it clearly isn't enough estro protection for me - I got serious gyno towards the end of my cycle which abated but didn't reverse with letro

there is debate about the affect of signficantly decreasing estrogen on gains so it might be worth a try if you're not gyno prone - but have some letro ON HAND and take it immediately if those nips start to tingle

good luck

that sucks man, but thanks that exactly the kinda answer im looking for - based on experience, not what a website says. guess ill be avoiding that stuff then

on 500mg a week, i doubt you will need anything to control estrogen. Hell, you need the estrogen anyway to protect the joints and build muscle.
