Arimidex over Aromasin (Heightmaxxers GTIFIH)

[RoadtoCurryChad]

First and foremost Letrozole seems to be to strong of an aromatase inhibitor which leads us to Arimidex vs Aromasin.

I still don't understand why people would consider Aromasin over Arimidex. Yes, Arimidex can cause LDL to be higher and HDL to lower but that is because estrogen plays a role in your cholesterol levs so lowering them would have an effect, and once you hope off your AI you should be fine. However, Aromasin can cause permanent changes in your estrogen levels ( if you take it then hope off you will produce less estrogen) because it is a suicide inhibitor. I think Arimidex should be fine as long as you get proper blood work done and ensure you're careful about it. If you have a different take please let me know.

i'm ngl i'm pretty sure that's not even how asin works, i don't think it permanently lowers production but even if it did getting your estrogen to good levels post puberty wouldn't even be that hard since there are literally so many ways to testosteronemaxx and that obviously aromatises into estrogen anyway

well, I could be misinterpreting the literature but from what I found it says that Aromasin binds to the activation site of estrogen and then that is what stops your estrogen production but it is supposed to be irreversible.

So if you take Aromasin and then hope off you could blast 5000 ng/dl and you would still convert the same amount of estrogen because the receptors are perma turned off.

damn fr? i didn't know that tbh

regardless it still shouldn't be a huge issue since it wouldn't be a legal medication if it turned off all receptors permanently as that would be too dangerous, i imagine unless you took excessive amounts for too long you could probably be fine overall. plus there are likely ways to increase the amount of estrogen receptors, i'll probably look into that

I've taken Asin, Adex, And letro over the last 2 years. Asin is by far the best, easiest to dose, easiest to tolerate and not destroy your mental health and sex drive with.

What person of actual legitmate age to heightmax would be easily able to regularly get blood work done? I understand your perspective, but it's not feasible for 99%

if anything permanently lowering your Aromatase enzyme is more beneficial for heightmaxxing, because your litterally lowering the precursor for estrogen creation is ideal to keep est low enough for heightmaxxing purposes. Also Adex will turn your dick and attraction to girls off FAST if you are not careful with dosing it, Asin is more forgiving imo

ok, thanks for the advice. Did you take the AI for height maxxing and if so what would you say is a good starting amount?

Aromasin being a suicide inhibitor doesn't mean it permanently reduces estrogen production, it simply increases the recovery period, which is amazing because you can afford to stop for like a week or two if you run out and your e2 will remain low, whilst Arimidex does not give you that.

If you miss a single dose of Arimidex (depending on regimen), your levels return to mostly normal immediately.

Do you know what is a good amount of mg to run so your E levels will be low enough?

depends on baseline.

my base was ~40pg so I take 12.5mg eod. Used to take everyday but I became literally asexual and was extremely depressed (levels were at 5pg which is horrible).

maybe it's different for you, just get a blood test 2 weeks after starting, ideal is the 10-20pg range

How has your height growth been? I've seen you've been heightmaxxing for awhile on here now

I'm also a little bit confused about this part. I've been using Arimidex for like 6 months and the only thing that got destroyed (like the side effect I still experience now) was my mental health, but normally, the majority of your symptoms should normalize on Arimidex from what I've read in the literature. Maybe I'm taking bunk adex but in around 3 months, most Arimidex sides should be gone on 1mg a day ( I take 2-3)

This single-dose stuff about non-suicidal aromatase inhibitors has been an untrue myth for a long time on this forum. One Google search reveals that Arimidex's half-life is two days while Letrozole's half-life is three days.

And you're an over responder to AI's omg, it usually only reduces E2 levels by 38% at max in men.

Link source. I have the impression you are misinterpreting it, for that makes no sense:

I went back to back Adex to letro (and Asin in the mix at times) and have experimented with using them simultaneously in different combos when I hard nuked my est at the start of heightmaxxing, probably due to paranoia of growth plate closure tbh it wasn't smart

Yeah after a while I could tolerate the sides I think recovering from nuked est took longer than expected, I was on 2.5mgs letro 2-4 times a week for about 2 years before switching to Asin after my 18th bday. heightmaxxing is no longer a priority for me but I still prefer very low Est

What was your heightmaxxing progress? I know it isn't a priority now but did you feel like the nuked E2 levels helped or no?
