Anti E's Causing Hair Loss

[SteelWorker]

Has anyone heard of this!....On a personal note i have been saucing it up for 9 years, and only used ARIM & FEM the past 2 years. The first year i started is when i first experienced a fair amount of hair loss of any sort, the 2nd year it was a bit worse!...I just started my summer cycle, no Anti E's this time, and hair is finally growing in ( Im currently using MINOX/ Alz combo!. This can be attributed to MPB, but all males in my family have full heads of hair. Feedback please?

Well,you definitely have the MPB gene somewhere in your line,otherwise this would be a non-issue.That being said,yes,aromitase inhibitors can increase hairloss if predisposed,as they free up more receptor space to bind with 5-ar(due to aromitase being deactivated).Less binding of one enzyme free's up the possiblity of greater binding of another.If you run anti-A's in the future,concurrently run finasteride,or topical DHT blockers.

Thats some F**d up Shit.....9 years of juicing and absolutley no hair loss issues...Then i get turned on to the wonderfull world of Anti E's 2 years ago and i have to worry about may hair....I think i would rather be a bit bloated with a nice dew.......Oh Well, NO DEX this summer..

HUCK - Would Nolva have a similer impact to my hair?

 

[HUCKLEBERRY FINNaplex]

Probably not,as it is not PREVENTING estrogen creation,just blocking already created estrogen's activation of receptors.You will still have plenty of aromitase turnover going on.

Im going to bump this for everyone to see!....

Huck, I just asked this same question the other day :

http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=233551

but I guess you weren't around. I think I am going to get off the Anti-A. But I AM taking Xandox's 5%Minox/5%Azelaic combo at the same time. Do you think the latter will prevent accelerated hairloss while taking an Anti-A? Either way, can you tell me the advantage of continuing the Anti-A (Liq Letro) besides less bloat? I have Nolva but have only been taking 10mg/day. I never have any gyno issues on 20mg/day without an anti-A. This is my first time trying anti-As. I am bulking so I am going to look heavier in the face anyway, with or without an Anti-A. Thanks for any input.

BB - Im using the same Minox/5%Azelaic combo at the moment to replenish what i have lost, if thats possible. But, hairloss seems to have totally stopped. Good Luck

The topicals will DEFINITELY be helpful...But remember,aromitase deactivation is just a small piece of the puzzle.ANY androgen can accelerate follicular destruction/detachment,so your best bet(That you will not want to hear)is to not add any exogenous androgen into your system.That being said,you're following the right track,and you could try experimenting with nolvadex,which will be sufficient for gyno prevention.

HUCK - You love your Anti E's Bro. You either have your hair padlocked on to your head, or you polish your dome every morning...Tks for the good info

Well,oddly enough,I have started some serious shedding over the past 6 weeks,and I have been gear free for quite a while!I may run some proscar for a couple of weeks,as I think I might be in a state of naturally up-regulated 5-ar.Weird.
