A lot of words for a simple question :-)

Are the alternatives proposed as good as Cytadren itself for this specific purpose taking the toxicity of Cytadren into consideration?
"toxicity" is a very relative and context dependent term. so many of the drugs that we take are considered 'toxic' , and thats why we alter the time frame and the dosage to help limit that negativity... to put it in context, Aspirin is very common drug, however its so toxic that if you accidentally take too much at once it leads to death. . very few AAS based compounds and hormone drugs that a bodybuilder uses has that level of toxicity and side effects as does Aspirin (leading to a quick over dose and death)

as for Cytadren-- in the example protocol I laid out, I have it being used for ONLY 14 days . thats it. and at a very reasonable dosage. I'm guessing at that short of a time frame its going to be less toxic then a Big Mac at mcdondalds


BUT , to answer your question about 'alternatives' ,, YES, I did specifically mention an alternative and gave an example. Running Letro and Winstrol together for a 14 day blast will also have similar results as running the Cytadren (the mechanisms of actions are very very different, but the end results are similar).

as for the direct alternatives to Cytadren used in the medical community to treat things like cushings syndrome, I'm unaware of those drugs being used in bodybuilding as a Safer alternative to it . and this is probably because a bodybuilders usage and time frame of Cytadren is so minimal that an alternative for toxicity sake is unwarranted (now 'price point' is a whole different subject)
