difference between an AI and an anti-e???

[sabbracadabra74]

This may be a stupid question, but what is the difference between an aromatase inhibitor and an anti-estrogen? Is an AI used during an AAS cycle and an anti-e used during PCT? Can they be used together? Either during an AAS cycle and during PCT? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks!

One helps prevent estrogen conversion/the other prevents estrogen from binding to the receptors in your body.


Honestly, i dont know too terribly much about PCT at all and the intricate differences between the two, but I figured I would chime in with my "generic" thoughts on it.

Im sure someone else who is more knowledgable will chime in soon with more detailed info for ya

therefore if u prevent estrogen conversion u dont have 2 worry about it binding 2 ur receptors

aromatse inhinitor = prevention of compounds converting to estrogen
anti-e refers to the same thing

SERM (selective estrogen recpeptor modulator) = competitively inhibits estrogen's activity in tissues like nips and hypothalamus. nolva/clomid, etc
