When it comes to the use of Aromatase Inhibitors (AI) during the post cycle therapy, it is common to make our choice in favor of such AI as Arimidex (Anastrozole) or Femara (Letrozole). Aromasin (Exemestane pct), which has far better properties than any other drug in this category, is less popular since only 1 out of 6 steroid users will make Aromasin a part of their PCT.
First, Aromasin was created after Arimidex, so all attention was on this one when it entered the world of steroids. Secondly, Aromasin is more expensive than Arimidex and less affordable for large people.
While you may think you are great with Arimidex along with Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) or Clomid during your PCT, we will give reasons to rethink your opinion on Aromasin pct and see Aromasin in a more preferential light.
Aromasin, like Arimidex (Anastrozole) or Femara (Letrozole), is an aromatase inhibitor agent and aims to stop the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. Letrozole reduces the estrogen level to 98%, while Arimidex can do it at 50 %.
The general opinion is that the lower is the estrogen level. The faster is recovered endogenous Testosterone and HPTA (Hypothalamic Pituitary Testicular Axis) during PCT. It may seem that having such a powerful anti-aromatization drug is all you need, and there are no reasons to look further for other replacements.
What you miss is that you must always have your estrogen level within normal limits for good body functionality. Estrogen is the hormone responsible for the immune system and joint mobility. Also, its activity in the liver influences the level of “good” over “bad” cholesterol.
Getting your aromatase enzymes suppressed at all is not good. You need something that helps you keep your estrogen level in control. Taking Letrozole for a long time would have named this effect, as only 2% of estrogen will remain active in your body.
As long as you are prone to develop gyno or prepare for a competition, such an approach will not harm you as you do it for a short time. But in the long run, getting rid of almost all estrogen in your body is quite risky.

Arimidex is recommended during your steroid cycle to keep your estrogen level under control but not suppress it at all. As we said, it reduces estrogen levels by half, giving the body enough estrogen for normal function.

The true necessity of Aromasin use occurs once you come off steroid usage. At this stage, individuals choose between Nolvadex or Clomid and another aromatase inhibitor.
Why should you take Nolvadex with Clomid combined? Professionals should always stack Clomid with Tamoxifen for correct post-cycle steroid therapy. Search the forums to see if that is the right way to do PCT for steroids.
Compared to Arimidex and Letrozole, Aromasin does not do so since it is a steroid aromatization inhibitor, so Nolvadex's activity has no influence. Aside from this, Aromasin increases the testosterone level by 60%, speeding up the testosterone restoration.
Nolvadex does not alter Aromasin; its effectiveness is high in lowering estrogen levels and elevating testosterone. From this point, Aromasin is the king of aromatization inhibitors drugs. Even if it was overlooked for a long time, and it’s pricey, surely it will get the deserved place in the steroid world.

In a dosage of 20-25mgs/day, Aromasin can block the estrogen enzymes at 65 % and increase testosterone production substantially. Aromasin vs. Nolvadex in PCT Aromasin is used during the last 2 weeks, while Nolvadex is recommended to be taken for 4 weeks.
The alone use of Aromasin is not recommended, and it has always to be combined with a SERM like Nolvadex or Clomid. Studies show that Aromasin pct proves to have a good influence on bone mineral content and lipid profile. The other non-steroidal aromatization inhibitor lacks these traits.
Adding to this the fact that it is not altered by Nolvadex when concurred with it it becomes clear why you have to make room for it in your PCT schedule.

The more you take, the greater is suppressed estrogen level, which, as we said above, is bad for your health. However, in the short term, you can do it. If you are preparing for a competition and want a ripped, dry look, then you can take Aromasin in a higher dosage for 48 hours.
The estrogen level is very low within this time frame, and keeping it for another 24 hours can lead to serious health problems, beginning with your joints, immune system, cholesterol level, and others. The best would be to stick to a dosage of 20-25 mg daily and only in rare cases go over this limit and reach your goal.
The more careful you are with its use, the higher your chances of making Aromasin use beneficial for your body and keeping unwanted side effects far away.

Aromasin use is not limited to PCT only. It can be a part of your steroid cycle too. It outperforms Arimidex by about 12 % when it comes to estrogen inhibition. And it will even cause an increase in testosterone levels as well.
But Aromasin is a steroidal drug, which also carries on androgenic effects. That’s why it will be best to let it be for PCT when this trait would be even more beneficial. Over the steroid cycle, using Arimidex is more than enough as it will eliminate 50% of estrogen and have no androgenic or progestogenic side effects.
Maybe you could even use it during PCT if there is no Nolvadex to decrease its effectiveness. But since Nolvadex benefits your body to a high degree than Clomid. It’s wise to stop on it and mix it with Aromasin which, as we said, is not altered by it.
So, why run Aromasin with Nolvadex in PCT? Because it is the most effective and safe combination of an aromatization inhibitor agent and SERM drug.

This is one of the dumbest articles I've ever read. It's so full of misinformation it is laughable! I quote:
"In other words, 150mgs of Clomid equal 20mgs of Nolvadex."
This is such stupid information that it's actually dangerous. 1mg of substance A is not equal to 1mg of substance B, a child could understand that.
Ignore this bullshit.
12.5mg of Exemestane every other day with a low dose of Nolvadex should be perfect in most circumstances.
Exemestane destroy Aromatise.
Nolvadex prevents Oestrogen from binding
This double whammy is perfect. It protects you while your test levels may be low by killing aromatase (Exemestane binds to aromatase more readily than testosterone does, meaning less testosterone aromatises into Oestrogen) and letting your testosterone continue to be testosterone, and also prevents the Oestrogen that is there from having much of an effect on your hard earned gains.
This of course is the aim just while your natural testosterone production recovers. Long term use of Aromatase inhibitors and SERMs is definitely not advised!
Following any cycle, eat a lean diet including lots of greens, garlic and dark berries and supplement with a herbal T booster. Key ingredients are Zinc, Magnesium and potassium. These are key everyday minerals for hormonal balance. Also consider reservatrol, which come from blueberries and dark grapes in abundance. This, supplemented with Co-enzyme Q10 is great for general health at a cellular level.
