50mg DHEA // 3mg Exemestane

How dangerous would this be?

@wester130 Not sure why it would be dangerous. I may be mistaking Exemestane for a different compound (anastrozole) - but it may lower IGF-1 levels which is probably not ideal if you're in the normal range already.

AFAIK DHEA's main/only concern is aromatization, which Exe does a good job at keeping at bay.

It would be best if you knew what your estrogen levels were prior to doing this or at least testing after you're through this to see if you're too high. Odds are you likely won't crash it with 3mg exe.

You may consider the whole cycle is "pointless" if you don't have an end goal and reason in mind to take these. I don't expect an already healthy person to see a large upside to this protocol.

Maybe I'm wrong and someone else knows better though

@hawk1 Exemestane raises IGF-1.

@wester130 You'll start feeling bad before it becomes dangerous.

lobotomize

@wester130 give or take 20 seconds before your heart stops beating

@hawk1 in contrast to other arom inhibs exem is much cleaner/less harmful.

But dhea-s conversion of dhea may still be a worry. Never had many issues with exem

JWayne

@lobotomize exemestane monotherapy is essentially the only effective testosterone booster. All the supplements on the market that claim to raise testosterone do almost nothing.

@JWayne why is it an effective test booster? does this apply to a healthy male or is the effect only significant in hypogonadal men? what about potential side effects of low estrogen such as joint pain, irritability, etc.?

Would like to hear more about this

wester130

@hawk1 for the record i am not doing 3mg of exemestane and 50mg dhea

i do
2 drops of progesterone in vitamin e
4 drops of dhea in vitamin e
4 drops test base in vitamin e

@wester130 oral test? any hepatic concern - or even one for bioavailability?

wester130

@hawk1 it's not hepatoxic, actually testosterone base and testosterone undecanoate help the liver

lobotomize

@JWayne well exem isnt a sup it is a drug and that catagory includes testo provi maestro etc which would be more appropriate for such goal

JWayne

@lobotomize AAS will suppress endogenous production unlike exemestane supplementation

wester130

this person actually tried this

As for the side effects, you will feel those and you can stop exemestane for a couple days until you feel better again. I would not take exemestane everyday as even bodybuilders use it every other day at most. I would keep it e/o or even every two or three days.

With regard to being a healthy male, I would not suggest any pharmacological interventions. But, if you're low-T in some way then this can be an experiment for you.

@JWayne

8 mg pregnenolone
4mg progesterone
8mg dhea
2mg exemestane

would this be ideal?

How are you measuring your doses that exactly?

wester130

@JWayne liquid bottles,

my pregnenolone/dhea is 4mg per drop

my prog bottle is about 2mg per drop

my exemestane bottle is 1.25mg per drop
