Mrpumped,
The evangelists over on the AF board have you brainwashed that all AF products are superior, and anything not AF is garbage. Ive seen the trash talk on that board, and it is over-the-top ridiculous.
If the original poster had been using AIFM throughout the entire cycle then his estrogen would already be low from this. Continuing to suppress estrogen with an overly powerful aromatase inhibitor such as ATD (or aromasin) will NOT help recovery and will only desensitize his testes to lh - leutenizing hormone - . A little estrogen is a good thing. You will not find a single study which shows an aromatase inhibitor increasing LH when estrogen levels are already non-existent. Excuse me if I didn’t explain this in my original post.
The makers of AIFM would never admit that DHEA shouldn’t be used for PCT - post cycle therapy - since they’ve been pushing their AIFM for PCT for the last 2 years. DHEA will convert to testosterone and other androgens and this will slow recovery. We saw this problem, so we addressed it with a formula change (sustain). Ive said this many times before over the last several months. Look at the past threads.
