Can you give a brief report of your experience with the substance?

As 20mg pills you have to split them in 1/4 or 1/2 otherwise estrogen suppresion is too heavy. I would recommend this product to anyone who have trouble with high estrogen or someone who is on a steroid cycle. If your just plain healthy with normal estrogen i honestly would not recommend this product as its too strong of a anti estrogen. I took 1/4 so 5mg every other day. My experience was a dry body and increased muscle hardness but also it gave me headaches and fatigue as you can experience on estrogen blockers. Im prone to migraines while i know other people who can take exemestane without problems so this was unfortunantly not right for me. As 20mg and 27 pills that equalls to 540 mg exemestane. If you would take 5mg daily that would last you 3 1/2 month. But likely you can double that as exemestane half life is long and you only need to dose every other day imo.

Thank you for sharing. Did you notice any lingering effects after quitting? I'm considering running it for six weeks or so as an experiment. I'd like to see how anabolic it is since I've read it can increase testosterone production by a good bit.

I would not say it is that anabolic but i didnt use it for so long. It lowers estrogen extremly well which would result in higher testosterone. I already had high testosterone and no symptoms of estrogen like manboobs or excess fat. Im very skinny. So this was not right for me. I did not feel good on it. And if you read around the forum I feel the anabolic properties is overexaggerated but I didnt use much or for a long time since it just made me feel bad even at low doses. Like i said this product is only if you have high estrogen or take steroids and need to lower estrogen.

I'm very lean as well and don't have any estrogen symptoms. I'm just interested in trying exemestane since studies show it increases testosterone, FSH, and LH in young males. I've always been reluctant to try AAS since there's always a possibility that your body will not recover to its original testosterone level.

My main concern with exemestane is the potential for testosterone levels to crash post treatment. I haven't been able to find too many reports of people taking exemestane outside of steroid use and even less who had blood work done. If I can verify that it has no detrimental effect on hormones after quitting then I'll give it a 6 week trial. If not, I'll just stick with bulbine natalensis since I've had good success with that in the past.

Don't use exemestane. It's one of the most useless substances out there. Not good for breast cancer. Not good for estrogen suppression in men, whether on steroids or natural. Androgenic enough to make you lose hair, but not enough to help you gain muscle. Makes your joints and muscles feel dry and your skin look like ***t. What I learned from a few years of experimenting with AI's is that the natural endocrine system is ridiculously complicated and best not ****88 with beyond the modulation you get from normal dietary components.

What do you think low E high T will achieve for you? Low E is not a good feeling. And honestly I feel more androgenic, have more energy and gain muscle faster with high T normal E than High T low E. And libido is completely absent at low E. You can have a pornstar and take viagra and still not get it up i promis you this. @Aaron can probably attest to this.

Would really low dose exemestane tank E this much? Even at say 3-5mg every other day or something?

Yes try it out yourself. If you already have normal E within range any dose will likely cut your E in half or more. Besides exemestane lowers estrogen for 5-7 days. So everyother day will build up. I did try doses as low as 1-2mg once in awhile. It lowers estrogen but symptoms are managable. But you wont experience any androgenic anabolic effects. Theres more to muscle growth and libido than testosterone. I and many other bodybuilders have had T levels of 1000+ and even bodybuilders blasting above 2000 in T levels and if their Estrogen is too low still have libido problems, joint pain, headaches and fatigue. Fatigue means your weak so you cant work out and you will lose muscle. Estrogen is healthy to a certain level dont get tricked mate.

I really appreciate the feedback y'all. I'm scratching exemestane off my list. I'm at a good place hormonally speaking and I don't want to screw it up. The fact that reports of exemestane use without steroids and outside of pct/hypogonadism are scarce confirms that it isn't worth using as a T booster. I'll stick with the natural herbs until the day I need trt which I pray never comes.

You can get normal E and T labs. Or the more sensitive E test. But my best measure is how im feeling. If you got good T balance with E you feel great, good sex drive etc. the higher T you have the higher your E will get. That makes sense since you make E from T. But I would not worry about blocking E that much if you eat and live healthy you’ll likely not have E problems. I think PUFA control and keeping inflammation down is the best way to have good E levels. So an aspirin once in awhile should be good. For me the signs of my E getting too low is usually loss of morning wood, fatigue specifically in the morning trying to get out of bed gets hard. Then I get joint problems and back pain aswell. So look out for those symptoms

Eat as low PUFA as possible, low/moderate SFA and good amount of carbs and sugars, sleep and exercise you will likely never need TRT.
