ExemestaneAromasin, Exemestane, Exedrol 24 hoursExemestane, commonly referred to as Aromasin, is a steroidal Aromatase Inhibitor (AI) primarily utilized to treat breast cancer in post-menopausal women. Its popularity surged among anabolic steroid users due to its effectiveness in safeguarding against estrogen-related side effects. Additionally, it has become fairly well-known in Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) regimens for steroid users.

Active half-life:
In a clinical context, Aromasin works by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, thus preventing cancer cells from accessing the hormones they need to survive.For anabolic steroid users, Aromasin serves as an anti-estrogen. Understanding its mechanisms should help clarify its effects in this domain. Elevated estrogen levels can result in gynecomastia, water retention, and potentially increased blood pressure. Regardless of the anabolic steroid being used, Aromasin can provide defense against these estrogenic effects.It’s important to highlight that Aromasin does not impact anabolic steroids derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT) as they do not convert to estrogen. Such steroids cannot cause gynecomastia or excessive water retention; this is not possible. Anadrol (Oxymetholone) is an exception; although it is a DHT derivative, it possesses strong estrogenic properties. However, Anadrol does not aromatize, meaning Aromasin cannot inhibit its aromatization. Therefore, to mitigate the estrogenic effects of Anadrol, SERM’s should be used to inhibit the activation of the estrogenic pathway.The role of Aromasin in a PCT plan is crucial since the use of anabolic steroids suppresses natural testosterone production. The extent of this suppression varies depending on the steroids used and their dosages, but some degree of suppression is guaranteed. Most male steroid users are encouraged to supplement with exogenous testosterone during their cycles to meet their body’s requirements.After completing a steroid cycle, while exogenous testosterone protects the user during the cycle, natural testosterone production remains suppressed afterward. Natural production will resume once all exogenous hormones are eliminated from the body, but returning to pre-cycle levels can be a lengthy process. Implementing a PCT plan helps stimulate natural testosterone production, reduces recovery time, and ensures adequate testosterone levels for proper bodily functions. Although it may not restore total levels to their previous state, it accelerates recovery and minimizes time spent in a low testosterone state.Due to its potent ability to stimulate natural testosterone production, Aromasin is particularly appealing for PCT. It also has a slight androgenic nature and moderately promotes IGF-1, adding to its attractiveness. However, we must prioritize Aromasin’s main function as an anti-estrogen. While high estrogen levels can pose problems, estrogen is essential for overall health, including immune function and maintaining cholesterol levels. In PCT, which aims at stimulating natural testosterone production and achieving overall body normalization, low estrogen levels can hinder this process. Therefore, SERM’s should always be the first choice for a successful PCT that promotes both testosterone production and overall normalization.
