So I am a long time user of Clomid and other SERMs for PCT. I've been told many time over that SERMs are not required to have a successful PCT and that the cons out weigh the PROs when using SERMs. Will a PCT of Formastanzol, and the PCT/Unleashed stack be strong enough after running Beastdrol for 4 weeks.....and how does that combination get the boys back in action and my test levels on the increase? I have all three products but am still on the fence about not running Clomid. :confused:

Of course it will work for pct and in fact I will go as far to say it will work far better then the "ancient historical" way would. Hate on it if you want but forma-stanzol works for pct!!!

Forma-stanzol has both suicide aromatase inhibitors and serms in it so yes you can replace the Clomid or nolva with it.. Its deff the much better choice of PCT after a tren or deca cycle for as nether clomid nor nolvadex will address High prolactin/ progesterone and in fact nolvadex will upregulate the progesterone receptor.

Some good threads to read my friend.
1. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/b...roid-best-pct-best-gyno-treatment-698487.html this will help explain forma-stanzol but let me go into it a little more ^^^

Many people first learn about steroids from their gym buddy and as we all know here in the land of real knowledge what ever your buddy in the gym has to say is complete useless utter crap. Ston age advice. It is a good assumption that he is doing nothing more then regurgitating the same old advice that started in the 1970's. Some people would call this tried and true. I call this Ignorant and lazy. As well as stone age and a stumbling block to the advancements in perfecting the art of chemical/muscle enhancement.

Then you have your people who do visit forums. Who go about there day re posting the same thing over and over again. And bashing anything they cant understand lol. Once you see some one making comments like " no supplement works" or "nothing natural can take the place of drugs" what you have is a consumer driven brain washed lemming following the crowds and conforming to bro'ology. Most often because they lack any Ability to understand The topic. O sure they will toss out some studies.

They will put up some good debate at times. After all they have plenty of regurgitated advice passed down to them from there equally ignorant gym friends and or mentors. If they had no agendas. If they had the ability to understand and think on there own. If they were any kind of person who opened up there mind and put a lot of thought, research, and time into the subjects we talk about on a daily bases. They would not make these kinds of comments.

But I really do not like saying bad things about anyone. So I have kept me statements general. I do apologize to anyone who thinks what I described above is them^^ do not wish to cause anyone to feel hurt or bad about them self. This is not my intentions and would never be. Just ask 95% of this forums membership.


Now you can read the link I posted above about forma-stanzol and then I will add to it.

Forma-stanzol's main active compound is formastane/lutheron tm.
Although "formastan" its self has nothing in common at all with nolva or clomid, forma-stanzol does. Nolva and clomid are serms and they block estrogen at the ER thus stopping it from having any effects on the ER.

However when on nolvadex or clomid the level of estrogen in your body does not go down but rather it goes up!!!!. You see, Nolvadex only blocks estrogen that's already in your body but it does not in anyway effect test from converting to estrogen. In fact by stopping the estrogen from entering the ER it causes your body to create both more testosterone AND ESTROGEN :biggrin::biggrin: let no one ever forget this. Your bodies level of estrogen goes up well taking nolvadex or clomid not down and anyone who has read a study or two and has been around a wile knows this. This is why it is very very very common for nolvadex and or clomid to cause what is known as "rebound gyno" if you use these product for pct with out a Ai or even better a "suicide aromatase inhibitor" (which is what forma-stanzol is)
Estrogen going up during pct is not a good thing .

Now as you can see formastane its self and nolvadex/clomid are worlds apart. From here on throughout my explanation I will be speaking only about forma-stanzol as I feel it is the far superior compound because it has both formastane (suicide aromatase inhibition as well as progesterone reducing effects) and phytoserms (Phytoserm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) effects. On top of this it also has many other necessary effects for any prospective steroids user.

One Forma-stanzol's many characteristics is whats know as a "suicide aromatase inhibitor" of aromatase. This means that Forma-stanzol 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 concurrent reduction in estrogen levels. A corresponding increase in testosterone production is usually experienced as well

It is important to note here that this deactivation of aromatase enzymes by forma-stanzol 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 Forma-stanzol your aromatase enzyme level will quickly catch up to normal and full estrogen production will resume.

Now Another important attribute to forma-stanzol is of course its phytoserm effects. Serm/phytoserm effects are important for pct because of there binding to the estrogen receptors, thus inhibiting estrogenic activity only at the ER. This causes a increase to LH & FSH levels, which in turn stimulates testosterone production. The important thing to remember here is although both nolvadex and clomid will do this they do it at a price! not only does the level of estrogen keep going up well taking them (unlike with forma-stanzol) but they can also be harmful in many other ways ( read post 6 in this thread to learn more about this. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/anabolic-steroids/taking-anabolic-steroids-101-a-642856.html). This is why phytoserm's "medically and clinically" excepted natural serms are better. Combined with other compounds like the ones in forma-stanzol they are a much more effect form of pct or on cycle estrogen and progesterone control.

Furthermore forma-stanzols 7,8 Benzoflavone a neuro-active flavone has the ability to pass the blood brain barrier and block the suppression of GnRH release through modulation of the GABAergic receptor complex.7,8 Benzoflavone also has a positive effects on libido due to its aphrodisiac and anxiolytic (anxiety-relieving) effect having natural anti-anxiety properties, 7,8-benzoflavone my help improve general self-confidence and well being. But Forma-stansols posative effects on libido dosn't end there. As any well versed steroid user knows lowering progesterone can also have a very positive and profound effects on sex drive.

Forma-stanzol unlike any other Ai or serm also has anabolic effects and coverts to a anabolic at a "dose dependent rate". In other words when used at the higher end of dosing ( 10 pumps twice a day) after a week it starts to covert somewhat to a anabolic compound and adds gains to your cycle. Still when used at the lower end or pct stile dosing protocol ( 5 pumps twice a day) there is no worries about suppression because its anabolic conversion is again " dose dependent" and only happens at higher doses taken for longer periods of time. How Amazing is that? I dont know any Ai's out there that can clam this nor do I know one single Ai that also lowers progesterone too!

Because of the formatane and now added compounds in forma-stanzol Its anabolic/androgen effects are similar to that of the steroid primobolan Depot ( but only when used at higher doses for longer periods of time).even at the lower dosing It increases IGF-1 levels by an amazing 26%,and increases HPTA activity and testicular activity similar to a combination of hcg and Clomid!

All of this is backed up by " human" studies. Yes Real human studies don by well known Universities and agencies. Because for the longest time Lentaron I.M. Depot® was a proscription drug . This was not a drug that got scrapped because it did not work or because other drugs worked better. No this drug lost favor because many years ago the only way to use the drug was through injections. But because of the advancements in Trans dermal delivery Lentaron I.M. Depot® is back. With the help of NTBM and MRsupps.com its more powerful then ever.

forma-stanzol is a synergistic blend of supporting components making forma-stanzol a Highbred on cycle estrogen/progesterone control and pct drug.


Aromatase inhibition: 4-hydroxyandrostenedione (4-OHA, CGP 32349) in advanced prostatic cancer.
Comparison of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodyn... [Cancer Chemother Pharmacol. 1990] - PubMed result
Biochemistry and function of sterols - Google Books
Pharmacokinetics of 4-hydroxyandrostenedione in ma... [J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 1993] - PubMed result

In each of these studies we can see that despite that fact that 4-hydroxyandrostenedione has also ( in some studies) shown to be a "very weak prohormone" to the anabolic steroid 4-hydroxytestosterone, as an aromatase inhibitor it also possesses notable testosterone stimulating properties. The use of 4-hydroxy 4-androstenedione gradually increase androgen levels while simultaneously decreasing estrogen and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Natural androgen production is increased by the stimulation of the hypothalamic pituitary axis via an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH) levels coupled by the direct stimulation of testosterone by 4-hydroxy 4-androstenedione. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for the production of total serum testosterone and testicular function. Formastane gives a gradual decrease in estrogen blood concentration which produces a signal of the hypothalamic pituitary ( again despite its very weak conversion to 4-hydroxytestosterone).

Whatever "weak conversion activity" it may have is more than compensated for by its ability to drop estrogen levels. This action of course reduces the suppressive signal estrogen sends to your brain.

In all of these studies Formastane was shown to suppress estrogen concentrations yet dos not suppress gonadotropins .


Let me further help you understand the difference and why one is good for pct (suicide aromatase inhibitors) and the other is not.

To understand why forma-stanzol may be useful while regular ai's (like Letro and A-dex) are not we'll need to first understand the differences between
the two. suicide aromatase inhibitors are actually steroidal compounds, while regular Ai's (like Letro and A-dex) are non-steroidal drugs ( no I don't mean STEROID LIKE YOU ARE HOPING LMOA)

Of course, there are some similarities between the two types of AIs...both
suicidal and non suicidal AIs mimic normal substrates (essentially androgens), allowing them to compete with the substrate for access to the binding site on the aromatase enzyme. After this binding, the next step is where things differ greatly for the two different types of AI's. In the case of a suicide aromatase inhibitors the noncompetitive inhibitor will bind, and the enzyme initiates a sequence of hydroxylation ( hence the name 4-hydroxy given to formastane) ; this hydroxylation produces an unbreakable covalent bond between the inhibitor and the enzyme protein. Now, enzyme activity is permanently blocked; even if all unattached inhibitor is removed. Aromatase enzyme activity can only be restored by new enzyme synthesis.


Now, on the other hand, most all other Ai are competitive inhibitors, reversibly bind to the active enzyme site, and one of two things can happen: 1.) either no enzyme activity is triggered or 2.) the enzyme is somehow triggered without effect. Thus essentially they can actually disassociate from the binding site, eventually allowing renewed competition between the inhibitor and the substrate for binding to the site. This means that the effectiveness of competitive aromatase inhibitors depends on the relative concentrations and affinities of both the inhibitor and the substrate, while this is not so for noncompetitive inhibitors. Forma-stanzol is a suicide aromatase inhibitor meaning that once it has done its job, and deactivated the aromatase enzyme, we don't need it anymore! Starting to understand now bro? Other Ai's need to remain present to continue their effects and this is why they are not the best choice for use during pct but forma-stanzol is..


Now another great post to readis post 33 in this thread.
http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/a...hroughout-end-cycle-732709-4.html#post9892399

in the above thread Neanderthal comments were of course made that supplements can not take the place of drugs and again although a ok case was made on behalf of drugs like hcg ( I live HCG so don't get me wrong again ok!) you can see where the conversation has been going.



The hypothalamus, upon realizing that blood levels of androgens are low releases Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH). GnRH goes to the pituitary which takes this hormone as the stimulus to release Lutenising Hormone (LH). LH then goes to the testes and stimulates T production. HCG mimics LH however it is not LH!!!!!!!

The HCG would stimulate more T to be released. but during a cycle the hypothalamus would still "recognise" the increased level of androgens and still stop releasing GnRH which in turn would lead to the pituitary stopping your own natural production of LH.

This wouldn't matter so much whilst you were taking the HCG as this replaces the LH and so T production would continue whilst you kept taking the HCG. So although Hcg may prevent degeneration of the ladeg cells (remember that your own body isnt producing any LH or GnRH anymore!!! regardless ) As the hypothalamus recognizes outside sources of both androgens and LH now it will feather suppress its own production of LH and GnRH :biggrin: The problem is that whilst the pituitary has been lying dormant due to not receiving any GnRH from the Hypothalamus it atrophies (just like the testes do when not used).

Get it?


In a normal healthy male luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) are sent from the brain (the pituitary) to stimulate the testes to make testosterone and sperm.

The release of LH & FSH from the pituitary is stimulated by Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is stimulated to produce GnRH when it senses low levels of testosterone and estrogen.

(hypothalamus [GnRH] --- > pituitary [LH & FSH]--- >(hcg would be placed here if we placed it anywhere)---> testes [testosterone])


So although hcg may cause there to be less atrophie of the ladeg cells it in turn causes more atrophie of the pituitary.

7,8-Benzoflavone -- increases testosterone production by preventing the negative feedback of testosterone and estrogen on the hypothalamus through GABAergic modulation though. And although researchers are just beginning to understand how the GABAergic system regulates the hypothalamus and GnRH secretion its important to know that a lot more studies have been done and are getting done then you think.. On Natural ingredients!!! Like 7,8-Benzoflavone and other phytoserms one can find in products like forma-stanzol.


Now I am not saying that preventing the desensitization of the ladeg cells during a cycle is not a good thing. Because as we know No matter how much LH & FSH the brain secretes, the testes won't secrete testosterone if they are desensitized to LH & FSH. (remember, this can happen from too much, or not enough LH & FSH stimulation)


hCG’s effect is centralized at the Leydig cells of the testicles and stimulates hormone function at the testicular level but does not reverse hypothalamic-pituitary suppression. Adequate stimulation from pituitary gonadotropins is required for the Leydig cells of the testicles to function independently in the body’s normal hormone axis.

of course during a cycle there are natural compounds and products that work through different mechanisms to prevent complete shutdown with out feather suppressing pituitary some through GABAergic modulation and some through others like with hcgenerate.


Hcg is a synthetic "out side source" of a hormone. So for the sake of argument and layman's terms ( so that your self and everyone can grasp/wrap head around subject) I will brake things down and give them a names.

steroids,Hcg,drug serms, and just about anything manufactured by a pharmaceutical company that we have commonly used= Synthetic "out side source of the target hormone"

Now we will give things like hcgenerate,bridge,unleashed/post cycle a name. Natural "bio-identical hormone" or "Homeopathic hormones" but in reality they have many names and even medically excepted ones like Phyto-SERMs, phytochemicals, phytonutrients , phenolic compounds ,phytotherapy, blah blah blah and a whole slew of other terms..
But for now will use the terms Synthetic and bio-identical hormones.


See I am explaining it like this because this has a lot to do with the parts you are not understanding. Although this is not everything and many of the natural and or even OTC hormones in the products mentioned work through other mechanisms and ways of action. Not just in a bio-identical/Homeopathic hormone manner of action.

Bio-identical/Homeopathic hormones are plant-derived and identical to the body's hormones. They are naturally the exact same thing and or they cause "natural" production/suppression of the target hormone.

Synthetic hormones such as hcg or a drug like serm are similar but not identical to the body's hormones. Fethermore they are "always" a outside source of the parent/target hormone. Moreover through manipulation of the hormone cascade they can also be used to suppress the production of a target hormone in the hopes to facilitate the production of another. We use compounds like Hcg and or clomid often notwithstanding the fact These slight chemical shift create a mismatches between the body's receptors ,Parent hormones,sister hormones, and or governing hormone cascade.

Now don't pull out your pitch forks and torches just yet:qt:
I love my steroids,drugs,chemical enhancement just as much as the next guy and in fact IMO more bwahahahahaaaa . So lets not try and act like I am downing there use. On the contrary I just happen to be more of a nonconformist who believes that Both Natural and synthetic coexist synergisticly in many concomitant circumstances.

Now at times I think you are confusing Bio-Identical with Homeopathic . One naturally augments or reduces and the other Naturally replaces. Although all things considered Naturally replacing is often (but not always) the superior. This creates less of a problem in the way of mismatching, adverse reactions, or suppression then the chemical counterparts.

Weather Fadogia agrestis method of action is more of a Bio-Identical or a Homeopathic Is somewhat unfounded however its actions through what ever Natural Mechanisms is founded. Through both scientific and real world results/feed back.

Title: Aphrodisiac potentials of the aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis (Schweinf. Ex Hiern) stem in male albino rats.
Author: Yakubu MT , Akanji MA , Oladiji AT
Source: Asian J Androl, 7(4): 399-404 2005


Abstract: AIM: To evaluate the phytochemical constituents and the aphrodisiac potential of the aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis (Rubiaceae) stem in male albino rats. METHODS: The aqueous stem extract of the plant was screened for phytochemical constituents. Male rats were orally dosed with 18 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg body weight, respectively, of the extract at 24 h intervals and their sexual behavior parameters and serum testosterone concentration were evaluated at days 1, 3 and 5. RESULTS: Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids and saponins while anthraquinones and flavonoids are weakly present. All the doses resulted in significant increase in mount frequency, intromission frequency and significantly prolonged the ejaculatory latency (P 0.05) and reduced mount and intromission latency (P 0.05). There was also a significant increase in serum testosterone concentrations in all the groups in a manner suggestive of dose-dependence (P 0.05). CONCLUSION: The aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis stem increased the blood testosterone concentrations and this may be the mechanism responsible for its aphrodisiac effects and various masculine behaviors. It may be used to modify impaired sexual functions in animals, especially those arising from hypotestosteronemia

Unleashed and post cycle combo is a great addative so any pct. Be it nolva or clomid combined with the unleashed/post cycle or forma-stanzol/unleashed/post cycle
or
Transdermal sustain alpha/unleashed and post cycle combo.
Regardless I dont thnk anyone can make the argument that the addition of unleashed and post cycle is not going to help your recovery along and assist you in keeping your gains.

When it comes to pct the first thing addressed is always recovery of the HPTA and I think it is clear that the above mentioned products can ( and if you want thousand of thread links more proving it has. And well work!!! However As I have always stated over and over again this is not the only aspect of pct and many other factors should be addressed. Pct Is the most important part of the cycle. Even if you are on HRT proper pct to save gains is still needed because again there is a lot more to pct then just recovering hormone levels.

What you lose when coming off steroids should also be addressed and maybe you cant afford or do not wish to address them all at least a few should be. Keep in mind if you gain 90lb what does it matter if you lose 87 of them and end up feeling like shit for months on end on top of that. Nothing is more crucial then the first 4-8 weeks following a cycle and this is why it has been such a widely debated topic for years. Now if you are foolish enough to trust your entire cycle, the future of you bodiez hormones, all of your gains, the ability to have kids later in life. the way you are going to feel for the next few months maybe even year (which in turn can effect every other aspect of your life from family to work), and everything else to the use of just a simple hcg on cycle and clomid or nolva pct. Well then I feel sorry for you. Although you may have a story to tell about how you got away with it this one time, or have been getting away with it for a long time now. Some day That story is going to change and I hate to be you when it does.

1.Will clomid or nolvadex help with Nitrogen retention and protein+carbohydrate synthesis. Not a chance!!!
It is a well known fact steroids promote nitrogen retention in the muscles. The more nitrogen the muscles holds the more protein the muscle stores, and the bigger the muscle gets. Steroids also increase carbohydrate synthesis. More of what you eat is used as muscle fuel and energy.

2. Will clomid or nolvadex help with a Euphoria,heightened self-esteem and aggression. Fucking please we all know more then half the people taking them feel like shit
and the lucky ones might feel just ok!
This ones some what self explanatory. You feel like king of the world and life just seems great no matter what happens. Yet the moment you step into the gym you turn into a beast and kill everything in site! steroids give you this and you lose when you come off cycle. No way in hell nolva and clomids helping you get that back.

3. Will clomid or nolvadex help with Blood quality,blood volume, and muscle gorging pumps? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAHAA LMAO you wish!!!!
Ever notice how quickly the muscle gets full when training on steroids and designer supplements? How you feel like your muscles are going to rip out of your shirt and your veins are going to pop out of your skin? That's enriched blood and blood volume. not getting that back using clomid or nolva sorry guys!!!

4. Will clomid or nolvadex help with maassive Libido,extreme sexual urges, rock hard erections? HMM some say there sex drive is "OK" or "JUST FINE" when taking them
but more people say its in the shitter. Again clomid and nolva pretty much lose on this one too. Yet another boo hoo for them!!

5. Will clomid or nolvadex help with Strength,stamina, and muscle recovery. AAAH if you think so your a meat head.
Oh yes the pounds keep adding up on the bar and we keep pushing out the extra reps. Over and over we kill it in the gym and wake up the next day ready to kill it again. <---not on clomid ya want, Not on nolva ether. You are lucky if you get to keep some of your gains and thats it.

WOW look at everything one loses when they come off a steroids or designer supplements cycle. It seems crazy to ever thing that clomid or nolvadex could cover all of this. That's because they don't. In fact they don't do anything on this list. They are old drugs once used to help recover the hpta and these days there is far better for this. The point is even if your HPTA is recovered, you're missing these vital aspects of steroid and designer supplement use.
And this is why "until now" it has been almost impossible to maintain all your gains from one cycle to the next(because retards kept pushing clomid and nolva "only"). This is why people who take steroids and designer supplements have always taken 10 steps forward only to end up taking 5 steps back and at times losing even more then that(because retards keep pushing clomid and nolva) . Until now!!! Finally years later people are starting to see the light. Even if clomid and nolva did the job of recovering the hpta flawlessly with out causing any other problems ( we all know they do cause tuns of problems for a lot of users) they still dont do one single thing on this list. Not a single one of them.


And truthfully there is not one "single" compound or drug that can cover them all ether. Save for maybe Bridge which Partially covers all of them but masters in non of them.

The point of all of this is this.

Can you have a outstanding pct, feel good, keep most if not all of your gains ,and suffer from minimal side effects using a "ALL OTC PCT"? You bet your ass you can.



Can you have a outstanding pct, feel good, keep most if not all of your gains ,and suffer from minimal side effects using a A combination of drugs "and" OTC products? Yes more then likely you can of course.


Can you have a outstanding pct, feel good, keep most if not all of your gains ,and suffer from minimal side effects using just drugs? HMMM chances of this "GREATLY REDUCED". It has happened before but its not likely.


Thank you I will be here all day. :D
 
Formastanzol works wonders on the progestin sides from ghrp 6 at higher doses... Also kept tren sides at bay while running 100mg ed..

I am a believer brotha!
 
Yes it does!!!!

I think the site blocked my link to another site lol But it should have been a link to ABM. Now that I know its a blocked site I know not to be a dink and try and go around the block. LOLOL


Yes GHRP-6 has been known to cause a slight rise progesterone at the higher dosing. Forma at even a light dose would counteract this and even add to the gains in many ways. OpResource wholesale melanotan peptides public, MT1, mt I, mt2, mtII, pt141 <-- its the bomb for peptides in case you did not know already :D

All I have to say is....WOW! Thank you for the VERY informative and in depth answer...really appreciate that. I think I'll run it like this:
Weeks 1-4 30mgs Beastdrol
Weeks 1-8 Formastanzol
Weeks 4-8 PCT/Unleashed Combo

Sounds good?
 
Are people running forma stenz as the only AI with longer injectable cycles? If so what dose? How about if your gyno pron,? Strong enough?

so need2 for a simple beastrol only cycle at 30mg for 4 weeks what would PCT be? hcgenerate and forma?

That cycle and pct is so standard for me now I got that shit sitting in a note pad file ready for the cut and past action.

1-4 Beastdrol 1 cap 3 times a day
1-4 n2guard 7 caps a day
1-4 hcgenerate 5 caps ed spread out.
4-8 unleashed/post cycle 3 caps of each every day spread out is always best
4-8 FORMA-STANOZOLOL 5 pumps am and 5 pumps pm.

Maybe not for beastdrol but for other compounds of lighter nature like a kanadrol cycle or a epi-strong or even a newbs helladrol cycle you can replace the forma-stanzol with sustain alpha if you liked that product.

Now adding Dermacrine in place of the hcgenerate "only for the beastdrol cycle" has been gaining popularity and I didn't even start that one I think it was Gammer but he's right. People love it because the dermacrine kills the lythargy caused by beastdrol, it takes the place of test in the cycle for all them "got to have test" kind of peeps. Makes you feel great and it increases hunger ( another common problem when running beastdrol). So Dermacrien does seem to be the perfect fit for a beastdrol cycle.
 
So Formastanzol is effectively a sufficient alternative to a SERM? I have to say an OTC alternative to a SERM is something that has been a long time coming (and it makes sense that if you can manufacture OTC steroids then why not sufficient OTC PCT drugs), so this is a massive development. Get the word out!
 
I will actually be starting my Superdrol and Dermacrine cycle this Sunday. Cant wait to finally try Superdrol. And to be able to take it without feeling run down like a lot of people describe is going to be great.
 
ok so instead of hcgenerate 1-4 use derm, also whats the n2guard for? liver? cuz i have milk thistle and a bunch of liver supps, also where do u find derma?
That cycle and pct is so standard for me now I got that shit sitting in a note pad file ready for the cut and past action.

Yes you can run it as a on cycle Ai bro. Need a light Ai use it at 5 pumps am and pm. Need a higher dose go with 10 pumps am and pm. Honestly if you were to run it starting a week before any cycle at a dose of 5 am and 5 pm and run it all the way through this should be enough to prevent any problems. It takes a week for Formastane/lutheron to reach peak levels.

When it comes to High estrogen and progesterone prevention. Gyno prevention This is the perfect on cycle product for this. It does not rob you of any of your gains. does Not lower IGF-1 like most other Ai's will and Helps to create conversion to healthy good estrogen and prevent any conversion to bad estrogen. Because of the added dim in the product.


Note really because the we placed Dim in the product my friend. We knew what we were doing. DIM converts most estrogen to good estrogen...
Safer Estrogen with Phytonutrition
by Michael A. Zeligs, M.D.

Abstract
Phytonutrition encompasses the dietary use of micronutrients found in plants. Adequate intake of specific phytochemicals can increase adaptive responses regulating hormone metabolism and cell behavior. Cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli, posses unique phytochemical constituents able to modify the metabolism of estrogen. The most active of these phytochemicals with regard to estrogen is the dietary indole, diindolylmethane. Supplemental use of diindolylmethane provides the basis for nutritional support to enhance the beneficial action and safety of estrogen. An optimal "estrogen balance" has implications for cancer prevention and successful aging in both women and men.

Introduction: Dietary Ingredients Improve Estrogen Metabolis
Though discovered over ten years ago, the connection between plant-derived dietary ingredients and estrogen is just beginning to be appreciated. This connection has the power to explain much of the mystery of why people living in developed nations, but lacking dietary "phytonutrients", suffer disproportionately from the major hormone dependent cancers, colon cancer, and coronary heart disease.1 H. Leon Bradlow, Ph.D. and his group at the Strang Cancer Prevention Laboratory in New York were the first to establish the link between phytonutrients from cruciferous vegetables and estrogen metabolism. 2 They showed that supplemental use of a single cruciferous phytochemical can act to promote a dramatic and beneficial change in the metabolism of estrogen.3 This change in metabolism has the power to greatly reduce estrogen exposure as a risk for cancer.

This discovery proved that the metabolism and growth promoting activity of estrogen is modified by the intake of milligram amounts of dietary indoles from crucifers. When these cruciferous phytochemicals are added to the diet, estrogen action is regulated and its metabolism is shifted. This produces a predominance of 2-hydroxy and 2-methoxyestrogens. 4 These active metabolites have been called "good estrogens" 5, function as antioxidants 6, and have the power to eliminate damaged or cancerous cells throughout the body 7. Without these phytochemicals in the diet, there is increased production of a different, undesirable group of estrogen metabolites. These so-called "bad estrogens" act negatively to allow oxidation, to damage DNA, and to promote cancer 8.

A diet-derived imbalance in estrogen metabolism explains epidemiology showing a high prevalence of estrogen related disease, especially breast cancer, in societies consuming a diet low in total vegetable content.9 Supplemental use of diindolylmethane (DIM), the most active cruciferous indole, can restore and maintain a favorable balance of estrogen metabolites. Supplementation with DIM provides an innovative approach to reducing the estrogen-related risk of breast cancer. Therefore, DIM supplementation can increase the safety of estrogen replacement therapy in post menopausal women. In addition, aging-related alteration in estrogen metabolism is an under appreciated factor in men's health. DIM use by men promotes the same beneficial estrogen metabolism as seen in women. Improving estrogen balance in men may serve as a basis for enhancing prostate health.10

Diindolylmethane (DIM) and Estrogen Balance
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is the most active cruciferous substance for promoting beneficial estrogen metabolism in women and men.11 DIM is found in cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts.12 DIM is formed from its precursor indole, Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), after the enzymatic release of I3C from parent glucosinolates found in all cruciferous vegetables. The supplemental use of DIM began with early experiments which demonstrated that animal diets with added DIM, like diets with added cruciferous vegetables 13, prevented chemically induced cancer.14 Pure DIM was first used in 1987 as a dietary supplement in animals, shown to be non-toxic, and to prevent breast cancer caused by the carcinogen, dimethylbenz(a)anthracene.15 Similarly, the initiation pathway to chemically induced colon cancer was inhibited with the DIM precursor, I3C.16 The mechanisms by which DIM prevents cancer in animals has subsequently been shown to involve a reduction in activity of the estrogen receptor system17, promotion of beneficial estrogen metabolism18, and support for selective apoptosis, or "programmed cell death" which removes damaged cells.19

Supplemental use of DIM in humans is effective in adjusting the pathways of estrogen metabolism to favor the production of 2-hydroxy estrogen metabolites.4 These shifts in estrogen metabolites were significant and showed an approximate 75% increase in production of 2-hydroxyestrone and a 50% decrease in 16-hydroxyestrone (See Figure 1.). An increased proportion of 2-hydroxy metabolites is correlated to protection from breast cancer. This relationship has been documented in several case-control studies. 20,21,22 Case-control studies have also documented that low levels of 2-hydroxy metabolites are associated with breast cancer in women 23, breast cancer in men 24, familial risk of breast cancer 25, uterine cancer 26, cervical cancer 27, and systemic lupus erythematosis 28. An increase in the rate of breast cancer has now been associated with lupus 29. Many established risk factors for breast cancer including obesity, high fat diets, and diets deficient in Omega 3 fatty acids have also been correlated with low 2-hydroxy estrone production.30 DIM is unique among all phytonutritionals with regard to its ability to favorably modify estrogen metabolism in the direction of greater 2-hydroxy estrogen production.

Extensive epidemiology has shown that consumption of crucifers in the human diet consistently reduces the occurrence of various cancers.31 With generous cruciferous intake the human diet provides up to 0.3 mg/kg of DIM. A recent human study was able to show that a daily intake of 500 grams of broccoli by volunteers slightly shifted the ratio of urinary estrogen metabolites, increasing urinary 2-hydroxyestrones in some of the subjects.32 Safe supplemental use of I3C was demonstrated in humans in 1992 33 , and confirmed in 199736. However, since I3C is highly unstable, its long term use in dietary supplements is of questionable value. I3C has been shown to be a precursor dietary indole, without activity until converted to DIM in the acid environment of the stomach. This process is inefficient, especially in the elderly, with diminished gastric acid production. Therefore, in addition to lacking shelf life, I3C has no biologic activity until converted to DIM. In contrast to I3C, DIM is highly stable, requires no conversion in the stomach, and is the most active cruciferous indole in promoting beneficial estrogen metabolism.34

Though stable, the extreme water insolubility of DIM in its pure crystalline form requires an absorption enhancing delivery system for use in dietary supplements. "IndolplexTM" is such a formulation containing microparticles of DIM associated with a soluble matrix which improves absorption. IndolplexTM demonstrates predictable and enhanced absorption of DIM in dietary supplements.35 IndolplexTM, containing standardized DIM, provides the phytochemical in a consistent, absorbable form which mimics the intake of DIM from the diet. These amounts of DIM relate to that found in large portions of Brussels sprouts or broccoli but exceed amounts conveniently reached from diet alone.35

Unlike soy isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, DIM is not an estrogen mimic or "phytoestrogen" and has no inherent estrogenic activity. DIM acts to balance the natural response to estrogen by adjusting the activity of metabolic cytochrome enzymes and specialized estrogen receptor molecules. In dividing cells this limits the growth promoting signal from estrogen by reducing the level of activity of the estrogen receptor system. In a complementary way, DIM also promotes the pathways of metabolism of estrogen within cells to favor the cancer preventive metabolites, 2-hydroxy and 2-methoxy estrogen.7,39 These metabolites further limit cell division and growth through influence on the cell cycle which determines growth and replication. 2-methoxy estrogen inhibits cell division by slowing the organization of tubulin, the subcellular cytoskeleton necessary for division of chromosomes.40 DIM's support for the protective mechanism of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, promotes beneficial elimination of damaged cells.41 The combination of these effects on cell behavior sets DIM apart from all other dietary substances and gives DIM a unique capability to promote beneficial actions of estrogen. Active apoptosis is central to preventing the initiation and promotion of breast, colon, and other cancers.42 Since these effects are specific to rapidly dividing cells, DIM does not prevent the beneficial effects of estrogen in supporting the health of the central nervous and skeletal systems. In essence, DIM creates a safer cellular environment for estrogen.

The Importance of DIM Supplementation in Pre and Postmenopausal Women
In premenopausal women, the first age-related hormonal imbalance involves a decreased production of progesterone. This reduction in progesterone output during the second half or luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, can cause irregular periods and contribute to premenstrual mood disorders. The "good estrogen" metabolites, 2-hydroxy and 2-methoxy estrogen are notable in that they stimulate increased progesterone production from ovarian cells 37,38. By promoting 2-hydroxy production, DIM supplementation can help support progesterone production and maintain progesterone levels through the peri-menopausal years. This balancing effect can benefit disorders associated with estrogen-progesterone imbalance including chronic, recurring breast pain, fibrocystic disease, and endometriosis.

In postmenopausal women, only about 20-30% of eligible women participate in long term use of supplemental estrogen. 43 This occurs despite compelling evidence as to the benefits of estrogen replacement, and relates to studies showing increased risk for breast and uterine cancer associated with prolonged HRT. 44 Even though this increase in risk is slight, the fearful nature of breast cancer makes hormonal replacement unacceptable to many women.45 Adding to this dilemma is the current wider availability of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a precursor adrenal steroid and the natural source of estrogen in post menopausal women.46 DHEA, sold as an over the counter dietary supplement in the USA, has been shown in long term clinical studies to promote bone mineralization without uterine stimulation47, and has demonstrated protection to breast tissue from cancer initiation and growth48. The importance of supplementation with DIM is that this approach can decrease estrogen-related breast cancer risk in the majority of women. This includes women taking estrogen, DHEA, phytoestrogen supplements, or no hormonal replacement at all.

DIM supplementation reduces undesirable metabolites of estrogen now known to be responsible for the cancer initiating and cancer promoting effects of estrogen.8 Supplemental DIM acts positively to support the pathways of estrogen metabolism which produce desirable metabolites associated with lower risk status for breast cancer and other estrogen-related disorders. The increased risk of breast cancer from postmenopausal estrogen administration can be eliminated by the complementary steps of adding cruciferous based supplements like DIM and reducing alcohol consumption to below 5 grams daily (equivalent to about 3 ounces of wine).49 The action of alcohol predictably raises circulating levels of estrogen from all sources by as much as 200% by interfering with its metabolism.50 If coupled with an unfavorable pathway of estrogen metabolism away from 2-hydroxy metabolites, alcohol can promote cancer whether or not supplemental estrogen is used. DIM supplementation is an effective and established means to assure a favorable pathway for estrogen metabolism. With its estrogen balancing effects, DIM provides a margin of safety and acts to reduce the negative consequences of estrogen elevation associated with moderate alcohol use.

Recent research clearly supports the benefits of maintaining estrogen levels in women as natural production declines with age. Post menopausal replacement of estrogen either through HRT or derived from DHEA is associated with a list of confirmed benefits.51 In addition to a decrease in overall mortality 52, estrogen replacement confers better memory and a lower risk of Alzheimer's dementia 53, stronger bones with fewer fractures54, and most importantly a 50% reduction in cardiovascular disease55, the number one threat to women's longevity. In addition, estrogen may be important in preventing osteoarthritis56, the most common cause of disability in women, and also may be important in reducing the occurrence of colon cancer57, the third most common cancer in women. There are also the benefits of more youthful skin, less vaginal dryness, increased libido, and less urinary incontinence. Following a long history of postmenopausal use in Europe, the addition of DHEA to regimens of hormonal supplementation is now advocated as one of the most advantageous source of estrogen for women.46
Use of phytonutritional supplements alone or in combination with hormonal replacement provides a new option for women which can minimize risks of breast and uterine cancer. This is based on strong evidence that DIM has cancer preventive activity.17 Dietary recommendations and applications of phytonutrition can now be combined to provide protection from estrogen risk while still taking advantage of estrogen's many benefits. Cruciferous intake has been shown to be protective against cancer in large population studies.31 These case-control studies support the importance of supplementation with specific dietary phytochemicals, like DIM.

The Importance of Healthy Estrogen Metabolism in Men's Health
In men, there is a new appreciation of the effects of changing estrogen metabolism with aging, now identified as "andropause". German researchers have clearly documented a dramatic, aging-related accumulation of estrogen in human prostate glands.58 This work correlated age, estrogen accumulation, and the presence of benign prostatic hypertrophy. This underscores the role of estrogen as a growth promoting hormone in men as well as women. Tissue accumulation of estrogen is a unique hallmark of andropause, distinct from estrogen deficiency which characterizes menopause. Recent work shows that estradiol, the active form of estrogen, provokes increases in prostate specific antigen (PSA) production in human prostate tissue.59 This increase in PSA is as great as that seen with testosterone. Increased PSA production was specifically inhibited by 2-methoxyestradiol, the beneficial estrogen metabolite whose production is promoted by DIM. 59

Accumulation of estrogen during andropause is amplified by obesity60 since fat tissue is the site of conversion of both testosterone and DHEA into estrogen. In case control studies, higher levels of circulating estrogen predict the degree of prostate enlargement. More importantly, increased estrogen levels have been repeatedly noted as a risk factor for early atherosclerosis and heart attack.61,62,63 The risks of elevated estrogen in men further correlate to decreased ability to dissolve blood clots.64 The specific deficiency in men of an active, beneficial metabolism of estrogen leading to 2-methoxy estrogens would explain many, if not all, of these observations.

Recent experimental work supports this connection between healthy estrogen metabolism and men's health. In studies culturing human vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC), it has been shown that 2-methoxy estradiol is a primary regulator of cell growth and apoptosis.65 Active and regulated apoptosis may contribute to the prevention of atherosclerotic plaque formation. At the basic level of lipoprotein status, 2-hydroxy and 2-methoxy estrogens are powerful antioxidants. In recent experiments, these metabolites, whose production is promoted by DIM, have been shown to prevent the oxidation of human lipoproteins.66 Lipoprotein oxidation is now accepted as an early, initiating event in atherosclerosis.
While it remains to be demonstrated through intervention studies that DIM supplementation can slow the progression of prostate disease and atherosclerosis, it is clear that DIM supplementation in men can beneficially shift estrogen metabolism. The supplemental use of DHEA has been advocated in men to replace dramatically decreased DHEA production with aging. A primary concern regarding this use of DHEA has been its partial conversion into estrogen. By promoting a healthy estrogen metabolism, use of DIM by men will increase the safety and benefits of long term supplementation with DHEA.

DIM and Environmental Estrogens
High fat diets and pesticide residues in food serve as additional sources of elevated estrogen exposure.75 This inadvertent estrogen exposure is increasing in both men and women throughout the world. In addition, high fat diets, especially those rich in animal fats or Omega 6 fatty acids can shift the metabolic pathways of estrogen towards 16-hydroxy metabolites. These "bad estrogens" are associated with higher rates of benign breast disease 67, and cancer in both women and men 24,26. A recent report of a large study of European women confirmed that dietary exposure to the estrogenic pesticide, Dieldren, was associated with increased risk of subsequent breast cancer.68 Exposure of breast cells in culture to organochlorine pesticides like Dieldrin increases the production of 16-hydroxy estrogen metabolites.69, 70 Alternatively, diets rich in Omega-3 fatty acids from fish 71 or supplemented with DIM produce more of the "good estrogens" identified as the 2-hydroxy metabolites of estradiol and estrone. Supplemental use of DIM promotes higher levels of 2-hydroxy estrogens. This use in animals has been shown to be associated with the prevention of spontaneous, estrogen related cancers of the breast and uterus 72,73 When tested in animals, DIM is unique in its effectiveness to favorably shift estrogen metabolism and decrease the activity of the estrogen receptor system.34 This activity of DIM relates to a blocking function toward the aryl hydrocarbon receptor which is then resistant to activation by pesticides.74 When made bioavailable with a delivery system such as IndolplexTM, DIM has been demonstrated to be effective in doses as low as 0.5 mg/kg/day of body weight as a means of increasing production of 2-hydroxy estrogen metabolites in men and women.35

Conclusion: Phytonutrition for Hormonal Support
Dietary supplementation with diindolylmethane (DIM) from cruciferous vegetables has established an important and effective nutritional approach to increasing the safety of estrogen. The availability of dietary supplements containing DIM provide an important new alternative in preventive nutrition and offer a source of support for the hormonal systems of men and women. To be effective, phytochemical supplements containing highly insoluble substances like DIM require absorption enhancing formulations. DIM supplementation can be combined with reduced alcohol intake to provide a dietary means of reducing the risk of breast and uterine cancer associated with HRT.49 The supplemental use of DIM allows women to promote and maintain a safer metabolism of estrogen. This expands the opportunities for women to derive the full preventive health benefits from long term hormonal replacement. DIM also increases the safety of exposure to estrogen derived from DHEA. This supports the rationale for long term supplementation with DHEA by both men and women. Documented, aging-related changes in men support their need for an improved metabolism of estrogen. 10 DIM use by men provides a promising dietary means to minimize the impact of increased estrogen on atherosclerosis and prostate disorders characteristic of andropause.58, These important benefits for successful aging in men and women all relate to an optimal and safer "estrogen balance".

Thanks for the informative post need2, do you know anyone on TRT using forma stanza as thier AI? I'll probably save the forma for my TRT crusie dose since 3 bottles will last me a long time and it's chepaer then exemestane. I will be running exemestane for my on Cycle AI and pramipexole as my anti prolactin.

Yes it works great for this. Lowers cholesterol and helps covert any left over estrogen to good estrogen not bad. A level of good estrogen is needed.
 
Of course it will work for pct and in fact I will go as far to say it will work far better then the "ancient historical" way would. Hate on it if you want but forma-stanzol works for pct!!!

Forma-stanzol has both suicide aromatase inhibitors and serms in it so yes you can replace the Clomid or nolva with it.. Its deff the much better choice of PCT after a tren or deca cycle for as nether clomid nor nolvadex will address High prolactin/ progesterone and in fact nolvadex will upregulate the progesterone receptor.

Some good threads to read my friend.
1. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/b...roid-best-pct-best-gyno-treatment-698487.html this will help explain forma-stanzol but let me go into it a little more ^^^

Many people first learn about steroids from their gym buddy and as we all know here in the land of real knowledge what ever your buddy in the gym has to say is complete useless utter crap. Ston age advice. It is a good assumption that he is doing nothing more then regurgitating the same old advice that started in the 1970's. Some people would call this tried and true. I call this Ignorant and lazy. As well as stone age and a stumbling block to the advancements in perfecting the art of chemical/muscle enhancement.

Then you have your people who do visit forums. Who go about there day re posting the same thing over and over again. And bashing anything they cant understand lol. Once you see some one making comments like " no supplement works" or "nothing natural can take the place of drugs" what you have is a consumer driven brain washed lemming following the crowds and conforming to bro'ology. Most often because they lack any Ability to understand The topic. O sure they will toss out some studies.

They will put up some good debate at times. After all they have plenty of regurgitated advice passed down to them from there equally ignorant gym friends and or mentors. If they had no agendas. If they had the ability to understand and think on there own. If they were any kind of person who opened up there mind and put a lot of thought, research, and time into the subjects we talk about on a daily bases. They would not make these kinds of comments.

But I really do not like saying bad things about anyone. So I have kept me statements general. I do apologize to anyone who thinks what I described above is them^^ do not wish to cause anyone to feel hurt or bad about them self. This is not my intentions and would never be. Just ask 95% of this forums membership.


Now you can read the link I posted above about forma-stanzol and then I will add to it.

Forma-stanzol's main active compound is formastane/lutheron tm.
Although "formastan" its self has nothing in common at all with nolva or clomid, forma-stanzol does. Nolva and clomid are serms and they block estrogen at the ER thus stopping it from having any effects on the ER.

However when on nolvadex or clomid the level of estrogen in your body does not go down but rather it goes up!!!!. You see, Nolvadex only blocks estrogen that's already in your body but it does not in anyway effect test from converting to estrogen. In fact by stopping the estrogen from entering the ER it causes your body to create both more testosterone AND ESTROGEN :biggrin::biggrin: let no one ever forget this. Your bodies level of estrogen goes up well taking nolvadex or clomid not down and anyone who has read a study or two and has been around a wile knows this. This is why it is very very very common for nolvadex and or clomid to cause what is known as "rebound gyno" if you use these product for pct with out a Ai or even better a "suicide aromatase inhibitor" (which is what forma-stanzol is)
Estrogen going up during pct is not a good thing .

Now as you can see formastane its self and nolvadex/clomid are worlds apart. From here on throughout my explanation I will be speaking only about forma-stanzol as I feel it is the far superior compound because it has both formastane (suicide aromatase inhibition as well as progesterone reducing effects) and phytoserms (Phytoserm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) effects. On top of this it also has many other necessary effects for any prospective steroids user.

One Forma-stanzol's many characteristics is whats know as a "suicide aromatase inhibitor" of aromatase. This means that Forma-stanzol 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 concurrent reduction in estrogen levels. A corresponding increase in testosterone production is usually experienced as well

It is important to note here that this deactivation of aromatase enzymes by forma-stanzol 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 Forma-stanzol your aromatase enzyme level will quickly catch up to normal and full estrogen production will resume.

Now Another important attribute to forma-stanzol is of course its phytoserm effects. Serm/phytoserm effects are important for pct because of there binding to the estrogen receptors, thus inhibiting estrogenic activity only at the ER. This causes a increase to LH & FSH levels, which in turn stimulates testosterone production. The important thing to remember here is although both nolvadex and clomid will do this they do it at a price! not only does the level of estrogen keep going up well taking them (unlike with forma-stanzol) but they can also be harmful in many other ways ( read post 6 in this thread to learn more about this. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/anabolic-steroids/taking-anabolic-steroids-101-a-642856.html). This is why phytoserm's "medically and clinically" excepted natural serms are better. Combined with other compounds like the ones in forma-stanzol they are a much more effect form of pct or on cycle estrogen and progesterone control.

Furthermore forma-stanzols 7,8 Benzoflavone a neuro-active flavone has the ability to pass the blood brain barrier and block the suppression of GnRH release through modulation of the GABAergic receptor complex.7,8 Benzoflavone also has a positive effects on libido due to its aphrodisiac and anxiolytic (anxiety-relieving) effect having natural anti-anxiety properties, 7,8-benzoflavone my help improve general self-confidence and well being. But Forma-stansols posative effects on libido dosn't end there. As any well versed steroid user knows lowering progesterone can also have a very positive and profound effects on sex drive.

Forma-stanzol unlike any other Ai or serm also has anabolic effects and coverts to a anabolic at a "dose dependent rate". In other words when used at the higher end of dosing ( 10 pumps twice a day) after a week it starts to covert somewhat to a anabolic compound and adds gains to your cycle. Still when used at the lower end or pct stile dosing protocol ( 5 pumps twice a day) there is no worries about suppression because its anabolic conversion is again " dose dependent" and only happens at higher doses taken for longer periods of time. How Amazing is that? I dont know any Ai's out there that can clam this nor do I know one single Ai that also lowers progesterone too!

Because of the formatane and now added compounds in forma-stanzol Its anabolic/androgen effects are similar to that of the steroid primobolan Depot ( but only when used at higher doses for longer periods of time).even at the lower dosing It increases IGF-1 levels by an amazing 26%,and increases HPTA activity and testicular activity similar to a combination of hcg and Clomid!

All of this is backed up by " human" studies. Yes Real human studies don by well known Universities and agencies. Because for the longest time Lentaron I.M. Depot® was a proscription drug . This was not a drug that got scrapped because it did not work or because other drugs worked better. No this drug lost favor because many years ago the only way to use the drug was through injections. But because of the advancements in Trans dermal delivery Lentaron I.M. Depot® is back. With the help of NTBM and MRsupps.com its more powerful then ever.

forma-stanzol is a synergistic blend of supporting components making forma-stanzol a Highbred on cycle estrogen/progesterone control and pct drug.


Aromatase inhibition: 4-hydroxyandrostenedione (4-OHA, CGP 32349) in advanced prostatic cancer.
Comparison of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodyn... [Cancer Chemother Pharmacol. 1990] - PubMed result
Biochemistry and function of sterols - Google Books
Pharmacokinetics of 4-hydroxyandrostenedione in ma... [J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 1993] - PubMed result

In each of these studies we can see that despite that fact that 4-hydroxyandrostenedione has also ( in some studies) shown to be a "very weak prohormone" to the anabolic steroid 4-hydroxytestosterone, as an aromatase inhibitor it also possesses notable testosterone stimulating properties. The use of 4-hydroxy 4-androstenedione gradually increase androgen levels while simultaneously decreasing estrogen and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Natural androgen production is increased by the stimulation of the hypothalamic pituitary axis via an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH) levels coupled by the direct stimulation of testosterone by 4-hydroxy 4-androstenedione. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for the production of total serum testosterone and testicular function. Formastane gives a gradual decrease in estrogen blood concentration which produces a signal of the hypothalamic pituitary ( again despite its very weak conversion to 4-hydroxytestosterone).

Whatever "weak conversion activity" it may have is more than compensated for by its ability to drop estrogen levels. This action of course reduces the suppressive signal estrogen sends to your brain.

In all of these studies Formastane was shown to suppress estrogen concentrations yet dos not suppress gonadotropins .


Let me further help you understand the difference and why one is good for pct (suicide aromatase inhibitors) and the other is not.

To understand why forma-stanzol may be useful while regular ai's (like Letro and A-dex) are not we'll need to first understand the differences between
the two. suicide aromatase inhibitors are actually steroidal compounds, while regular Ai's (like Letro and A-dex) are non-steroidal drugs ( no I don't mean STEROID LIKE YOU ARE HOPING LMOA)

Of course, there are some similarities between the two types of AIs...both
suicidal and non suicidal AIs mimic normal substrates (essentially androgens), allowing them to compete with the substrate for access to the binding site on the aromatase enzyme. After this binding, the next step is where things differ greatly for the two different types of AI's. In the case of a suicide aromatase inhibitors the noncompetitive inhibitor will bind, and the enzyme initiates a sequence of hydroxylation ( hence the name 4-hydroxy given to formastane) ; this hydroxylation produces an unbreakable covalent bond between the inhibitor and the enzyme protein. Now, enzyme activity is permanently blocked; even if all unattached inhibitor is removed. Aromatase enzyme activity can only be restored by new enzyme synthesis.


Now, on the other hand, most all other Ai are competitive inhibitors, reversibly bind to the active enzyme site, and one of two things can happen: 1.) either no enzyme activity is triggered or 2.) the enzyme is somehow triggered without effect. Thus essentially they can actually disassociate from the binding site, eventually allowing renewed competition between the inhibitor and the substrate for binding to the site. This means that the effectiveness of competitive aromatase inhibitors depends on the relative concentrations and affinities of both the inhibitor and the substrate, while this is not so for noncompetitive inhibitors. Forma-stanzol is a suicide aromatase inhibitor meaning that once it has done its job, and deactivated the aromatase enzyme, we don't need it anymore! Starting to understand now bro? Other Ai's need to remain present to continue their effects and this is why they are not the best choice for use during pct but forma-stanzol is..


Now another great post to readis post 33 in this thread.
http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/a...hroughout-end-cycle-732709-4.html#post9892399

in the above thread Neanderthal comments were of course made that supplements can not take the place of drugs and again although a ok case was made on behalf of drugs like hcg ( I live HCG so don't get me wrong again ok!) you can see where the conversation has been going.



The hypothalamus, upon realizing that blood levels of androgens are low releases Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH). GnRH goes to the pituitary which takes this hormone as the stimulus to release Lutenising Hormone (LH). LH then goes to the testes and stimulates T production. HCG mimics LH however it is not LH!!!!!!!

The HCG would stimulate more T to be released. but during a cycle the hypothalamus would still "recognise" the increased level of androgens and still stop releasing GnRH which in turn would lead to the pituitary stopping your own natural production of LH.

This wouldn't matter so much whilst you were taking the HCG as this replaces the LH and so T production would continue whilst you kept taking the HCG. So although Hcg may prevent degeneration of the ladeg cells (remember that your own body isnt producing any LH or GnRH anymore!!! regardless ) As the hypothalamus recognizes outside sources of both androgens and LH now it will feather suppress its own production of LH and GnRH :biggrin: The problem is that whilst the pituitary has been lying dormant due to not receiving any GnRH from the Hypothalamus it atrophies (just like the testes do when not used).

Get it?


In a normal healthy male luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) are sent from the brain (the pituitary) to stimulate the testes to make testosterone and sperm.

The release of LH & FSH from the pituitary is stimulated by Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is stimulated to produce GnRH when it senses low levels of testosterone and estrogen.

(hypothalamus [GnRH] --- > pituitary [LH & FSH]--- >(hcg would be placed here if we placed it anywhere)---> testes [testosterone])


So although hcg may cause there to be less atrophie of the ladeg cells it in turn causes more atrophie of the pituitary.

7,8-Benzoflavone -- increases testosterone production by preventing the negative feedback of testosterone and estrogen on the hypothalamus through GABAergic modulation though. And although researchers are just beginning to understand how the GABAergic system regulates the hypothalamus and GnRH secretion its important to know that a lot more studies have been done and are getting done then you think.. On Natural ingredients!!! Like 7,8-Benzoflavone and other phytoserms one can find in products like forma-stanzol.


Now I am not saying that preventing the desensitization of the ladeg cells during a cycle is not a good thing. Because as we know No matter how much LH & FSH the brain secretes, the testes won't secrete testosterone if they are desensitized to LH & FSH. (remember, this can happen from too much, or not enough LH & FSH stimulation)


hCG’s effect is centralized at the Leydig cells of the testicles and stimulates hormone function at the testicular level but does not reverse hypothalamic-pituitary suppression. Adequate stimulation from pituitary gonadotropins is required for the Leydig cells of the testicles to function independently in the body’s normal hormone axis.

of course during a cycle there are natural compounds and products that work through different mechanisms to prevent complete shutdown with out feather suppressing pituitary some through GABAergic modulation and some through others like with hcgenerate.


Hcg is a synthetic "out side source" of a hormone. So for the sake of argument and layman's terms ( so that your self and everyone can grasp/wrap head around subject) I will brake things down and give them a names.

steroids,Hcg,drug serms, and just about anything manufactured by a pharmaceutical company that we have commonly used= Synthetic "out side source of the target hormone"

Now we will give things like hcgenerate,bridge,unleashed/post cycle a name. Natural "bio-identical hormone" or "Homeopathic hormones" but in reality they have many names and even medically excepted ones like Phyto-SERMs, phytochemicals, phytonutrients , phenolic compounds ,phytotherapy, blah blah blah and a whole slew of other terms..
But for now will use the terms Synthetic and bio-identical hormones.


See I am explaining it like this because this has a lot to do with the parts you are not understanding. Although this is not everything and many of the natural and or even OTC hormones in the products mentioned work through other mechanisms and ways of action. Not just in a bio-identical/Homeopathic hormone manner of action.

Bio-identical/Homeopathic hormones are plant-derived and identical to the body's hormones. They are naturally the exact same thing and or they cause "natural" production/suppression of the target hormone.

Synthetic hormones such as hcg or a drug like serm are similar but not identical to the body's hormones. Fethermore they are "always" a outside source of the parent/target hormone. Moreover through manipulation of the hormone cascade they can also be used to suppress the production of a target hormone in the hopes to facilitate the production of another. We use compounds like Hcg and or clomid often notwithstanding the fact These slight chemical shift create a mismatches between the body's receptors ,Parent hormones,sister hormones, and or governing hormone cascade.

Now don't pull out your pitch forks and torches just yet:qt:
I love my steroids,drugs,chemical enhancement just as much as the next guy and in fact IMO more bwahahahahaaaa . So lets not try and act like I am downing there use. On the contrary I just happen to be more of a nonconformist who believes that Both Natural and synthetic coexist synergisticly in many concomitant circumstances.

Now at times I think you are confusing Bio-Identical with Homeopathic . One naturally augments or reduces and the other Naturally replaces. Although all things considered Naturally replacing is often (but not always) the superior. This creates less of a problem in the way of mismatching, adverse reactions, or suppression then the chemical counterparts.

Weather Fadogia agrestis method of action is more of a Bio-Identical or a Homeopathic Is somewhat unfounded however its actions through what ever Natural Mechanisms is founded. Through both scientific and real world results/feed back.

Title: Aphrodisiac potentials of the aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis (Schweinf. Ex Hiern) stem in male albino rats.
Author: Yakubu MT , Akanji MA , Oladiji AT
Source: Asian J Androl, 7(4): 399-404 2005


Abstract: AIM: To evaluate the phytochemical constituents and the aphrodisiac potential of the aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis (Rubiaceae) stem in male albino rats. METHODS: The aqueous stem extract of the plant was screened for phytochemical constituents. Male rats were orally dosed with 18 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg body weight, respectively, of the extract at 24 h intervals and their sexual behavior parameters and serum testosterone concentration were evaluated at days 1, 3 and 5. RESULTS: Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids and saponins while anthraquinones and flavonoids are weakly present. All the doses resulted in significant increase in mount frequency, intromission frequency and significantly prolonged the ejaculatory latency (P 0.05) and reduced mount and intromission latency (P 0.05). There was also a significant increase in serum testosterone concentrations in all the groups in a manner suggestive of dose-dependence (P 0.05). CONCLUSION: The aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis stem increased the blood testosterone concentrations and this may be the mechanism responsible for its aphrodisiac effects and various masculine behaviors. It may be used to modify impaired sexual functions in animals, especially those arising from hypotestosteronemia

Unleashed and post cycle combo is a great addative so any pct. Be it nolva or clomid combined with the unleashed/post cycle or forma-stanzol/unleashed/post cycle
or
Transdermal sustain alpha/unleashed and post cycle combo.
Regardless I dont thnk anyone can make the argument that the addition of unleashed and post cycle is not going to help your recovery along and assist you in keeping your gains.

When it comes to pct the first thing addressed is always recovery of the HPTA and I think it is clear that the above mentioned products can ( and if you want thousand of thread links more proving it has. And well work!!! However As I have always stated over and over again this is not the only aspect of pct and many other factors should be addressed. Pct Is the most important part of the cycle. Even if you are on HRT proper pct to save gains is still needed because again there is a lot more to pct then just recovering hormone levels.

What you lose when coming off steroids should also be addressed and maybe you cant afford or do not wish to address them all at least a few should be. Keep in mind if you gain 90lb what does it matter if you lose 87 of them and end up feeling like shit for months on end on top of that. Nothing is more crucial then the first 4-8 weeks following a cycle and this is why it has been such a widely debated topic for years. Now if you are foolish enough to trust your entire cycle, the future of you bodiez hormones, all of your gains, the ability to have kids later in life. the way you are going to feel for the next few months maybe even year (which in turn can effect every other aspect of your life from family to work), and everything else to the use of just a simple hcg on cycle and clomid or nolva pct. Well then I feel sorry for you. Although you may have a story to tell about how you got away with it this one time, or have been getting away with it for a long time now. Some day That story is going to change and I hate to be you when it does.

1.Will clomid or nolvadex help with Nitrogen retention and protein+carbohydrate synthesis. Not a chance!!!
It is a well known fact steroids promote nitrogen retention in the muscles. The more nitrogen the muscles holds the more protein the muscle stores, and the bigger the muscle gets. Steroids also increase carbohydrate synthesis. More of what you eat is used as muscle fuel and energy.

2. Will clomid or nolvadex help with a Euphoria,heightened self-esteem and aggression. Fucking please we all know more then half the people taking them feel like shit
and the lucky ones might feel just ok!
This ones some what self explanatory. You feel like king of the world and life just seems great no matter what happens. Yet the moment you step into the gym you turn into a beast and kill everything in site! steroids give you this and you lose when you come off cycle. No way in hell nolva and clomids helping you get that back.

3. Will clomid or nolvadex help with Blood quality,blood volume, and muscle gorging pumps? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAHAA LMAO you wish!!!!
Ever notice how quickly the muscle gets full when training on steroids and designer supplements? How you feel like your muscles are going to rip out of your shirt and your veins are going to pop out of your skin? That's enriched blood and blood volume. not getting that back using clomid or nolva sorry guys!!!

4. Will clomid or nolvadex help with maassive Libido,extreme sexual urges, rock hard erections? HMM some say there sex drive is "OK" or "JUST FINE" when taking them
but more people say its in the shitter. Again clomid and nolva pretty much lose on this one too. Yet another boo hoo for them!!

5. Will clomid or nolvadex help with Strength,stamina, and muscle recovery. AAAH if you think so your a meat head.
Oh yes the pounds keep adding up on the bar and we keep pushing out the extra reps. Over and over we kill it in the gym and wake up the next day ready to kill it again. <---not on clomid ya want, Not on nolva ether. You are lucky if you get to keep some of your gains and thats it.

WOW look at everything one loses when they come off a steroids or designer supplements cycle. It seems crazy to ever thing that clomid or nolvadex could cover all of this. That's because they don't. In fact they don't do anything on this list. They are old drugs once used to help recover the hpta and these days there is far better for this. The point is even if your HPTA is recovered, you're missing these vital aspects of steroid and designer supplement use.
And this is why "until now" it has been almost impossible to maintain all your gains from one cycle to the next(because retards kept pushing clomid and nolva "only"). This is why people who take steroids and designer supplements have always taken 10 steps forward only to end up taking 5 steps back and at times losing even more then that(because retards keep pushing clomid and nolva) . Until now!!! Finally years later people are starting to see the light. Even if clomid and nolva did the job of recovering the hpta flawlessly with out causing any other problems ( we all know they do cause tuns of problems for a lot of users) they still dont do one single thing on this list. Not a single one of them.


And truthfully there is not one "single" compound or drug that can cover them all ether. Save for maybe Bridge which Partially covers all of them but masters in non of them.

The point of all of this is this.

Can you have a outstanding pct, feel good, keep most if not all of your gains ,and suffer from minimal side effects using a "ALL OTC PCT"? You bet your ass you can.



Can you have a outstanding pct, feel good, keep most if not all of your gains ,and suffer from minimal side effects using a A combination of drugs "and" OTC products? Yes more then likely you can of course.


Can you have a outstanding pct, feel good, keep most if not all of your gains ,and suffer from minimal side effects using just drugs? HMMM chances of this "GREATLY REDUCED". It has happened before but its not likely.


Thank you I will be here all day. :D

Going to be using mrsupps forma on cycle to increase free test. Could i run it thruout PCT also - so 10 week cycle and pct all with 6 pumps forma. or will this decrease its effects? Rather recover of this monstrosity of a cycle than have a little more free test while on, so if itll reduce its effectiveness in PCT by using it for so long then ill just use for post cycle.
:theshadow

If you are going to use it throughout the whole cycle I would say not to use it during pct as well. You see after it reaches high peak levels in the body it starts to convert to a anabolic. See formastan is a very complex and versatile drug. At higher dosing or prolonged dosing it will start to convert to a anabolic but at lower dosing and shorter time it does not covert at all. A better Idea would be to use E-Control Rx during the cycle at 1 cap a day. This is yet another suicide aromatase inhibitor. 1 cap a day is all you need and the bottle has 90 caps so it will last throughout a 3 month cycle. Then switch to the forma-stanzol for pct.

Again I must stress the fact that the conversion to the anabolic 4-hydroxytestosterone is extremely " dose and length dependent" Doses higher then 100mg a day or longer then 6 weeks is when conversion starts to take place. Dosing the forma-stanzol at 5 pumps am and pm will give you 50mg a day.

Yeah I was considering ATD, E-control X looks good, I think i prefer the dosing of econtrol in comparison to novedex xt and inhibit e. Pretty pricey on the rls site though, I was looking at getting the Phytoserm thing to run post PCT to document its effects, but 66 dollars to try it is a bit much. I wont even buy sustain alpha off PP unless they have one of their sales.
Anyway, definitely going with the ATD on and forma in pct, thanks alot for the quick reply

Beofr eyou buy anything from any sotre on the net get with me first because its likely that I have a discount code for them too.
 
I'm just coming up to my winter cycle, and I was thinking of running Sust and Tren E with a Dbol kicker.
Could you give me some advice on dosages as ive not run Tren before and I dont want to mess with that bad boy. Any help you could give me would be fantastic mate.

I was thinking:

1-12 TEST E 500mg p/w
1-12 TREN E 250mg p/w
1-4 DBOL 40mg p/d

How does that sound?
Obviously I have Clomid, HCG and Arimadex for PCT which i will be running 1 month after last pin.

Look forward to hearing from you :)

My advice to you and everyone else is stop wasting your time with anything other then tren ace. If you are going to do tren you mite as well get the best results you can get from it and IMO tren ace gives better faster results, more stable levels when done right and less sides when done right. Not to mention if you do get sides you can drop it and the sides will subside so much faster.. My other peace of advice would be forget running the dbal kick start god what a sloppy cycle with a crap load of potential side effects. Anyone who has been around a wile knows if you want to add anykind of oral to a tren cycle or anything it should be a DHT. They work perfect with progestrins so this is how I will set rhe cycle up for you... You want to go back to dbals that is your choice. I only set cycles up the best way or no way.

1-10 Test prop 100mg every other day
1-8 Tren ace 100mg every other day
1-8 add in a DHT ether 100mg masterone every other day, 50mg winny every day or Provirone 25mg twice a day.(see not 1)
6-12 Need2slin 1 cap 3 times a day 30 mins before meals. (see note 2)
6-10 hcgenerate 3 caps am 2 caps pm ( see note 3)
10-16 forma-stanzol 5 pumps am and 5 pumps pm (see not 4)
10-14 phytoserm-347 1 cap am and 1 cap pm

12-14 forged post cycle 2 caps am and 2 caps pm. (see note 4 for the pct lay out)


Note 1. You want to add a DHT derivative steroid to the cycle because they work synergistic with nandro's and or progestrines like tren. THey lower both estrogen and progesterone yet at the same time add extra aggression to the cycle. They clean up the cycle , lesson bloat and chances of deca/tren dick.. Going into pct your progesterone and estrogen levels will be a lot closer to normal thus making pct a lot more easy..


Note 2. Tren lowers thyroid function and T-3 output. Something highly overlooked because
people do lose body fat when on the product and its effects in this Area go largely un noticed till after the cycle when you start to quickly gain fat. Need2slin will help recover this as well as give you a better insulin response to food and give you the ability to add more carbs to your diet and not get fat from them. you can read about it by doing a google search or on the product page. The science is there my man.



Note 3.
Hcgenerate prevents major shut down and keeps the brain signalling to your nuts to keep producing their on test. It also counteracts the bodies homeostasis mechanism like SHBG which is what the body uses to render androgens useless in the body. This is why you noticed the closer to the end of a cycle you get the more the gains taper off. This somewhat prevents this... Hcgenerate also raises sex drive through the rough and no one wants to lose this. It also adds gains to the cycle and if you take one look around you will know this product is the real mother fucking deal

just a tip ^^^^^) ...

Note 4.
first off nolvadex is not a option after a cycle of tren as nolvadex up regulates the progesterone receptors compounding any problems with this during pct. I suspect clomid mite do the same but only have literature proving nolva does.

Forma-stanzol is a Ai, A serm, And more. It lowers both estrogen and progesterone which is what you will need and it also blocks estrogen too. The 78-benzo in the product is able to brake the blood brain barer and cause the brain to release gNRH which singles the brain to release lh which causes the balls to create more test. Plus the chestnut seed extract has a cool effect in that what ever place it is applied to it pulls the water out of the skin and pushes it into the muscles giving you thiner skin and fuller muscles.

The phytoserm-347 is both clinically and user tested proven to raise test and lower estrogen. In combo with the forma it makes the perfect pct to get them balls nice and big and test above normal not just back to normal. This goes a long ass way in helping you to keep the gains.

Forged post cycle does a little bit of everything that all the other products do and I like to toss it in there for the extra insurance but it is optional I will be honest.



If you decide that you want to run a low does or even a cycle of T3 with the tren les me know I will set this up for you and then adjust the pct to reflect the change. If you or anyone wants a discount for the phytoserm-347 or any product send me a pm I got all the discounts anyone could ever need.
 
Cheers Nathan,

This is what I wanted to happen. It's good to have a more experienced eye to pick the flaws with my cycle. I think I will follow what you have recommended, it sounds like an awesome course with reduced sides and potential for massive growth. I will be contacting you on the 30th when I get paid to sort out some stuff. Cheers again man I really appreciate it.
 
Been on trt for about three yrs, I'm currently cycling epi@ 3 caps a day with 250 test cyp/week. Would forma/Stan provide any benefits? I'll be done with my first epi cycle by mid oct( 6 wk cyc) and am thinking about stopping trt until my next cycle in feb sometime. I want to use Hcgen/ unleashed/ and post cyc just not sure of dosage. Worried about losing gains if I come of the test all together.

45 yrs
190lb

Been working out for years

FYI.. Trt was prescribed more as a mood enhancer than a hormone replacement. Test levels were on normal low side, ask doc to put in normal high and he agreed...three yrs ago..lol!

It would prevent any bloat and add some fat lose effects at 5 pumps twice a day. 10 pumps twice a day it would have a anabolic effect much like primo adding some solid strength and size gains regardless of diet and training just like primo would.. I still like forma-stanzol best for pct but so may love running it on cycle its hard to ignore.
 
Newer study by the same author in regards to Fadogia Agrestis states that it can negatively(adversely) affect testicular function. Need2 have you seen this article??

Effects of oral administration of aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis (Schweinf. Ex Hiern) stem on some testicular function indices of male rats.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY:

The effects of administration of aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis (Schweinf. Ex Hiern) stem on some testicular function indices of male rats (Rattus norvegicus) and their recovery potentials for 10 days were investigated.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Rats were grouped into four: A, B, C and D where A (the control) received orally 1 ml of distilled water (the vehicle), B, C and D (the test groups) received orally on daily basis graded doses of 18, 50 and 100mg/kg body weight of the plant extract, respectively, for 28 days.
RESULTS:

Compared with the control, extract administration for 28 days at all the doses resulted in significant increase (P<0.05) in percentage testes-body weight ratio, testicular cholesterol, sialic acid, glycogen, acid phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transferase activities while there was significant decrease (P<0.05) in the activities of testicular alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, glutamate dehydrogenase and concentrations of protein. Recoveries were made by the animals on some of the testicular function indices mainly at 18 mg/kg body weight.
CONCLUSIONS:

The alterations brought about by the aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis stem are indications of adverse effects on the male rat testicular function and this may adversely affect the functional capacities of the testes. The recovery made at the dose of 18 mg/kg body weight as used in folklore medicine suggests that it does not exhibit permanent toxicity at this dose.

I am a "46 yr old" Mr nobody who took one supervised test cycle 15yrs back to celebrate my 30 birthday in style with a newb BB competition and i am in TOTAL MOTIVATION MODE to do my second cycle....:evil:
I have been training regularly since my 40th after a fantastic weekend in Amersterdam with my best friend and training buddy from my college days where it was decided that "letting it all hang out" weight wise was after 40 was not on the cards !
I signed up on this forum therefore to get up to speed on training dieting and whats new and certainly not to waste your valuable time.

anyways my stats

6ft 2 205lbs around 14%bf

i have lost 16lb since the beginning of juin mostly diet and cardio (400miles running)
for the last 3 months i have split 4 ways 25mins of weights one body part and then 30-45mins of running.

i have now changed up to 40mins *4 four way split + 20mins cardio after weights
...using a calorie deficiency of about 300cals a day (2600cal a day 300 long carbs 200g protein split over 6 meals)

I think honestly you should be on some light anabolic during the time you are on the T3 and clen imo. Something like provirone 25mg am and pm every day. lowers estrogen and prolactin. Locks onto the androgen receptors in fat cells better then any steroid on the market, Its not highly suppressive,and a quick recovery after. you should have plenty of time to recovery. Wait a week or two after that and then start the next cycle. I would just stay on till the end of the next cycle but that is me and I really don't feel like outlining everything it would take and you would need to do so. After the provirone T03 and clen run is over stop and run this.
weeks
1-6 forma-stanzol 5 pumps am and pm every day for the first 4 weeks then drop down to 3 and 3 pumps for the last 2 weeks.
1-4 hcgenerate 3 cap am 2 caps pm..

Wait a week or two after this pct is over then roll into the next cycle.

Next cycle outline as below.

1-12 400mg test Cyprionate 1 inj/wk
1-4 30mg dianabol ( try to split this up 10mg tabs would make this easy.
2-12 12.5mg aromasin/Liqui-Aromas every other day... Always use a suicidal aromatase inhibitor for long turn use and or on cycle use. - Need To Build Muscle Inc. Official Blog <<<------read here
12-18 forma-stanzol 5 pumps am and pm first 4 weeks 3/3 the last 2 weeks.
12-16 phytoserm-347 1 cam am and pm
16-21 bridge 1 cap 3 times a day
16-21 Ostarine 25mg ED (never use sarms during pct only during cycle or after pct..


Hope I have been of some help my friend. You can skip the provirone if you like and just follow the above cycle plan when ever you feel you are ready for it.. Have a great day
 
Hi Need2,

Thanks for your corrections, so i am just missing the aromasin great i am almost there then ,

no arimidex ...ok replaced with aromasin

i will therefore not use the sarms during PCT but after understood,

do i need liver supp ?

regarding threads i hope i can post my log to the board and give a detailed account of my progress as testimonial to the interesting next 4 months for me in the gym and hopfully fun to read !
Thank you for your time
catch you another time on the board no doubt keep up the stalwart work for the community

...information is empowerment !

At the very least always run forged liver support when you are running orals like Dbal. I highly recommend using N2gaurd during this time and most would Tell you to use the N2guard the entire cycle.. :biggrin:
 
Evening Need2,
Thks for you reply
I finally started my thread and i even recieved my" bits and pieces" in the post today so apart from aromasin i got all i need for some quality gains, i shall now ramp my training and strength to a peak before going into "HULK" mode ;-)

i am currently researching the nutrition part as i am at 2500 cals 180g of protein and 300carbs a day split 6 during my t3/clen period. what calorie base would you point me to and is there a good guide on the site that you could link me to ?? i see soo many posts with guys on 400g of protein and 5000cals this is not for me i feel ! maybe +300 over maintenance(3000) a day ?

Cheers

Hey there Needto!! I live in Australia (Bondi to be exact lol) and have a few questions to know EXACTLY what I really should be doing..

I want to shred/cut-up/lose lots of body fat.

My goal is sports modelling and to lean out for long, slender shapely legs :) (for dancing, and wearing short-shorts lol)

I am blood type O, I eat only green veggies, turkey, chicken and tuna, and natural yoghurt, I execrise regularly at a good intensity, (have had to back off high impact a little due to knee surgery)

I want a supplement stack that won't cause detrimental health issues (especially as a woman, I still want children later on) and supps I can get in Aus ^_^

I have researched multitudes of journals, blogs and reports.. I just need advice from a professional who knows what they're on about and well, the perfect stack to get the perfect body!!

Your advice and time is greatly appreciated and valued :)
