3,6,17-ANDROSTENETRIONE ?

quote:

It is important to note here that this deactivation of aromatase enzymes by 6-OXO™ does not mean that your body becomes permanently deficient in the ability to synthesize estrogen. Your body will react to the deficiency of enzyme by producing more enzyme to replace that which has been deactivated. Therefore, when you stop taking 6-OXO™ your aromatase enzyme level will quickly catch up to normal and full estrogen production will resume.

-from healthnutwarehouse.com

6-OXO™ is what is known as a suicide inhibitor of aromatase. This means that 6-OXO™ binds to the aromatase enzyme in a permanent and irreversible manner, rendering it inactive. The result of this is an eventual diminishment of aromatase enzyme in the body and a concomitant reduction in estrogen levels.  A corresponding increase in testosterone production is usually experienced as well.

I'm no endocrine expert, but I would think anytime you can have test floating around doing it's thing uninhibited by aromatizing enzymes, that would be a good thing.  Their point is that 6-OXO destroys the aromatizing enzymes during cycle, but your body will manufacture more when you stop taking it.

Theoretically, that makes it worth a shot; HOWEVER... (always a caveat with me ) I would be interested to know how much more agressively your body rebounds from an aromatizing enzyme suppression like that.  Nature has this nasty way of overcompensating when something "breaks" (not counting muscle growth itself, in which overcompensation is a good thing) -I wouldn't want to come off this stuff producing twice as much aromatizing compounds as I was before using it.

Yes, that's me in my avatar, and NO, I don't look like that today. That was taken back in Jan '07, and I lost most of that progress when I slacked off last year. I'm on my way back, tho, and I'm using that photo for inspiration.

Good question.  The paragraph immediately before that reads:
