Description
Anastrozole, also known as Arimidex, is an aromatase inhibitor used in bodybuilding to reduce estrogen levels during anabolic steroid cycles. It is commonly taken to prevent estrogenic side effects such as gynecomastia, water retention, and fat gain caused by the aromatization of anabolic steroids like testosterone.
Benefits of Anastrozole
- Prevents estrogenic side effects such as gynecomastia
- Reduces water retention and bloating
- Improves muscle definition and hardness
- Supports hormonal balance during steroid cycles
Common Dosage and Use
Anastrozole is typically taken at a dosage of 0.5-1mg every other day during a steroid cycle. It is most commonly used in conjunction with aromatizing steroids like testosterone or Dianabol.
Side Effects
Potential side effects include:
- Joint pain
- Lowered bone density
- Fatigue
Important: Anastrozole should be used under medical supervision to prevent over-suppression of estrogen, which can lead to long-term hormonal imbalances.
