When one takes a non-aromatizing prohormone or steroid, what happens at the beginning of the cycle when natural testosterone production has not decreased yet?
Since there is a higher amount of ANDROGEN, but not ESTROGEN from the target hormone of the prohormone or the steroid, does a higher percentage of free testosterone convert to estrogen? For instance, if there is more DHT than the body is used to, will free testosterone not convert to DHT as much and instead be more likely to aromatize? If this is true, then it would make a lot of sense to start out at low doses then increase as natural production of testosterone decreases.
I am thinking of trying 3-alpha, and I would like to get a better understanding before I try it. I want to use it for cutting. I have tried 1-test, and loved it's bulking power, but want something for cutting. Oral 1-test (SAN T-100 ether) actually increased estrogen significantly when I took really high doses (average 500mg/day). Thanks.
