Anadrol aromatization

[Gbunk]

I was thinking about trying anadrol but I’m not sure if it is a good idea since I am sensitive to estrogen or somewhat gyno prone. Any opinions or advice or anecdotal information?

It’s a DHT derivative, but it does have a progestagenic effect.

From Anabolics 11th Edition:
It is important to note that oxymetholone does not
directly convert to estrogen in the body. This steroid is a
derivative of dihydrotestosterone, and as such cannot be
aromatized. Anti-aromatase compounds such as Cytadren
and Arimidex® will, likewise, not effect the relative
estrogenicity of this steroid. Some have suggested that
the high level of estrogenic activity in oxymetholone is
actually due to the drug acting as a progestin, similar to
nandrolone. The side effects of both estrogens and
progestins can be very similar, which might have made
this explanation a plausible one. There was a medical
study examining the progestational activity of
oxymetholone, however, and it determined that there was
no such activity present.3 With such findings, it seems
most plausible that oxymetholone can activate the
estrogen receptor, similar to, but more profoundly than,
the estrogenic androgen methandriol.

@petefox I read that but unfortunately shit is all over the place with speculations. Some people also say that if you start getting signs of gyno from anadrol that because it’s anadrol is worse than normal. Just hard to form an opinion when everyone says something different.

I’ve dosed Drol to 100mg ED (didn’t want blood pressure redlining) and got no ‘estrogenic’ sides but had elevated progestin activity. Estrogen levels were in range just not high or low. I was using test prop at the time 100mg EOD. I was about 31yrs old at the time so it was a while ago. Dbol on the other hand blaoted me badly, raised BP and killed my appetite to the point I stopped less than a week in.

Some will gauge effects on what they think or what someone else felt, never what they witnessed first hand. I just believe we all respond to things differently, and that’s the fun in research.

@Gbunk
I never got any estro sides or gyro but absolutely destroys my appetite to the point where it is senseless to use something this harsh and not be able to fuel the synthesis…… Tbol works much better for a fairly dry oral.

@petefox I know that is the fun haha and I completely agree. I just like to ready or preventative rather than scrambling if something arises which is why I welcome and information that could be helpful.

@EpicFlash my next run I plan on using tbol next cycle. So I will see how that goes. I just want to look at all my options or know what I can use and what I should stay away from.
