Most hormonemaxxers use Aromasin to increase androgens, lower estradiol and SHBG. Aromasin is extremely useful in this context though it has some drawbacks which I will outline now.
Firstly, low estradiol leads to low Cortisol Binding Protein, which binds up around 70% of the cortisol in your system, now more of this previously bound up and unusable cortisol is free to circulate the system and can then Aldosterone Synthase into aldosterone which will cause extreme bloating. After around 4 months your free cortisol will reach normal levels though being exposed to high cortisol for months might be shitty as fuck. This is what someone with chronically elevated cortisol looks like (due to cushing syndrome)
Secondly are the low estradiol symptoms. From lowered muscle growth to problems with fat lipolysis (releasing energy from fat) estradiol is extremely important in regulating body functions. Probably the most scary problem is loss of intelligence due to Excitotoxicity in neurons, this will cause permanent intelligence loss because of neuron death. Estradiol is a regulator of several cognition pathways including the Calcium Ion channels which will get pretty fucked up when estradiol is low.
Thirdly, this could cause permanent aromatase damage, though rare it is linked to a polymorphism in the CYP19A1 gene leading to chronically low estradiol which is extremely annoying to treat because things like estrogel lead to a much higher estriol level than if you had aromatized it (probably because of the enzyme density differences).
In conclusion aromasin is dangerous and should be taken with consideration of the facts layed out above.
