Aromasin (Exemestane uses)
works as a steroidal aromatase inhibitor, functioning to reduce
estrogen production by blocking the enzyme responsible. It was developed
for postmenopausal women battling cancer and in particular need of
aggressive therapy, where first-line medications have not worked
successfully. On the average, Aromasin (exemestane) has an 85% rate for
estrogen suppression, which makes it effective for treating cancer since
certain cancers grow due to the body’s estrogen supply. Cut the
estrogen and you help slow down the cancer. As for steroids use,
Aromasin is a good option because male bodybuilders don’t have to worry
about aromatization, the conversion of estrogen in the body, which is
then responsible for side effects like acne, water retention, and
gynecomastia. It is also not too harsh on blood lipids which make it
great for long cycles. Since it also raises testosterone levels, it also
makes fAromasinor a great component of a Post-Cycle-Therapy.
