Description
Aromasin is a drug that belongs to a family known as aromatase inhibitors, or AIs. AIs are anti-estrogen drugs, which means that they help to prevent common estrogenic side effects. Aromasin is the brand name for a drug known as Exemestane and it too is an anti-estrogen drug. It binds to aromatase enzymes in the body and basically disables them permanently which ensures that there is no risk of an estrogen rebound from occurring.
Effects
Prevents Gynecomastia, No Bloating, Promotes Positive Testosterone Levels
Prevents Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia for men is a very nasty side effect associated with anabolic steroid use.
It isn’t considered to be life-threatening, but it can certainly make life miserable for those who happen to be afflicted by it.
Gynecomastia is a side effect of steroid use which causes a man to develop female breast tissue.
In extreme cases, he will develop breasts, but more often than not, he will simply develop puffy and swollen nipples that are sometimes tender to the touch.
This condition is caused when testosterone in the body interacts with aromatase enzymes and aromatizes, which means that it is converted into Estrogen.
Estrogen is basically the female equivalent of testosterone, and the less of this hormone a bodybuilder has in his system, the better.
Aromasin basically prevents aromatization from occurring, which means that it can prevent steroid users from suffering from gynecomastia.
This in itself is a very prominent benefit because gyno can only be treated and reversed with surgery.
No Bloating
Some steroid users also find themselves suffering from extreme bloating and water retention after ending a cycle.
This is again thanks partially to Estrogen.
Estrogen is a hormone that promotes severe water retention and bloating.
Some cycles can cause such extreme bloating and water retention in fact, that bodybuilders can look puffy and out of shape.
Imagine working your butt off in the gym for several months, eating bland and tasteless meals to try and build muscle and burn fat, only to find yourself looking out of shape because you’re carrying so much water and are feeling so bloated.
Promotes Positive Testosterone Levels
As mentioned, sometimes when men use steroids, they use dosages that are so high, that they literally shut down their natural testosterone production.
This is a massive problem as soon as they come off cycle.
Testosterone is not only important for muscle growth and repair, but it’s also essential for countless other physiological processes within the human body.
Testosterone boosts your sex drive, it increases the prominence of your erections, it promotes fertility, it boosts energy levels, it provides cognitive benefits, and much more besides.
Put simply, having a testosterone deficiency is a big problem.
When men use steroids, the drugs themselves mimic the effects of testosterone.
Some steroids are actually forms of testosterone.
The brain detects abnormally high levels of testosterone and thinks that something is wrong.
It tells the testes to stop producing testosterone immediately.
Unfortunately, what often happens is that the body then fails to produce the hormone naturally again.
A lot of steroid users have to receive testosterone injections from their doctors.
Aromasin not only helps to ensure that your testosterone production levels naturally recover, but it actually helps to boost testosterone levels too.
This is one reason why this drug helps you to hold onto your gains.
