Gold ANASTRA-Dark 1mg@35tabs

Anastrozole is a medication that is also known by the brand name Arimidex. Anastrozole is a type of medication known as a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor. As an aromatase inhibitor, it blocks the enzyme aromatase that is an important catalyst for transforming testosterone into estradiol. This is very important when there is too much estrogen in the body as it can help to decrease estradiol and maintain testosterone levels.

Some other aromatase inhibitors are steroidal. However, anastrozole does not have any steroidal activity and therefore does not inhibit the adrenal glands from producing their own steroids such as cortisol.

Overall, anastrozole is a very helpful medication that blocks the aromatization process that converts testosterone to estrogen.
Why Would You Take Anastrozole?

When taking testosterone replacement therapy, you would think that your levels of estrogen would be very low since you are raising levels of testosterone. Testosterone and estrogen are very closely related and testosterone is converted into estradiol, a form of estrogen.

In testosterone hormone replacement therapy, you are taking medications in the form of testosterone to raise your natural levels. With an increase in testosterone in the body, there can be more of the aromatase enzyme. Aromatization leads to the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. The aromatase enzyme helps to initiate and support the aromatization process. With more aromatase enzymes present, there is an increase in estrogen in the body which can lead to the opposite of the desired effects.

Taking aromatase inhibitors like anastrozole in combination with testosterone replacement therapy can be used as a comprehensive treatment strategy for hormone replacement therapy. By combining an aromatase inhibitor with testosterone hormones you can make the most out of the testosterone injections and prevent side effects that come with excessive estrogen in the body.
What Are the Benefits of Anastrozole?

Anastrozole is an aromatase inhibitor that can have several benefits in the body. Many of the benefits in men are related to a boost in testosterone levels. Boosting testosterone, preventing man boobs, and supporting weight loss are some of the benefits that aromatase inhibitors can have for men.
Boost Testosterone Levels

Having the appropriate levels can truly impact your quality of life. Boosting testosterone levels is most appropriate when your levels of testosterone are actually in a deficit. This can be known if a blood test is done to determine your natural levels of testosterone.

If your doctor has confirmed your low testosterone, anastrozole’s benefit of boosting testosterone may be well welcomed.
Prevent Man Boobs

Testosterone replacement therapy can be very therapeutic, but there is a side effect that is well known: gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is also known as man boobs or an increase in breast tissue in men. This side effect can occur from the increased transformation of testosterone to estrogen. When this occurs, there may be increased fat production in the breasts.

Anastrozole can be used as a comprehensive treatment in conjunction with testosterone replacement therapy to help prevent this unwanted symptom. By blocking the aromatization of testosterone, it prevents an excess of estrogen and therefore gynecomastia.

Choosing a provider that understands the use of comprehensive testosterone replacement is important so that they can help to minimize unwanted side effects.

Elite HRT is up to date with conjunctive treatments that make the process easier and more comprehensive including aromatase inhibitors and human chorionic gonadotropin.
Support Weight Loss

High levels of testosterone are also associated with a decrease in body fat and water retention. Testosterone plays a role in increasing muscle mass.

When levels of testosterone begin to drop such as with aging you may notice more body fat accumulation around the body in areas such as the abdomen and chest area. Estrogen blockers can help to keep more testosterone in the body circulating so that the body can work more efficiently.

One of the many benefits of this is supporting a decrease in body fat and helping the body to let go of excess water that has been retained in the body. Losing weight or fat should never be the only goal of anastrozole therapy, but it may be an added benefit that may help you to look and feel more confident.
