A curious Winstrol Q

[HawaiianPride.]

I believe it doesn't have estrogen blocking properties on it's own but I've read from a few sources it may be able to block estrogen from other steroids it's stacked with, due to the 5-alpha reduction process. As far as anti-progestagenic effects, it's theory goes that Win can bind and compete for a position at the progesterone receptor similar to Clomid and Nolvadex would at the estrogen receptor, thus inhibiting progestagenic effects. BUT, as a few of us know, progesterone can aggravate estrogenic side-effects by agonizing estrogen and it does play a role in gyno..

I have read some theories stating that progesterone can further compound estrogen induced gyno BUT can not form gyno on its own.
I've read no concrete evidence...just theories.

Winstrol, since it is not 5-alpha reduced, blocks either production or utilization of progesterone. This is how it can reduce or even shut down collagen synthesis, as this is progesterone modulated. By lowering SHGB it increase free test in the body. Test converts to DHT, which I believe is what causes the issue with progesterone. However, test also aromatizes to estrogen, so in this respect it may be possible for Winstrol to influence gyno. As with all things the dosage would determine how much free test increases, thus how much aromatizes, and thus how much it could contribute.

The real reason guys stack in Winstrol is cutting, pure and simple. That's been a truth since the dawn of steroids. It's not great for bulking, but if you stack it with test, etc. you can build bulk while still staying lean/hard. Thinking that Winstrol is going to protect you from gyno when using other steroids that are known to cause it is foolhardy. Only AIs are going to do that.
