FEMARA is the commercial name of an active chemical component called Letrozole. This product is not an anabolic steroid. The principle of Letrozole action is based on blocking the enzyme called aromatase. This prevents conversion of testosterone to estrogen. This process in the body occurs constantly, but in the usual situation without exogenous testosterone, this process proceeds imperceptibly. However, when a large amount of exogenous (obtained from outside) testosterone appears, part of the free hormone binds to an aromatase.
There is a so-called process of aromatization. As a result, a large number of female sex hormones appear in the body and the body begins to be rearranged according to the female type. Accelerated fat deposition occurs in the waist and hip, there is also a disorder called Gynecomastia. This is a very undesirable effect for any user of anabolic steroids. The essence of this disorder is that a man begins to grow breast. Due to Letrozole action to the hormones balance it is not wildly spread among women bodybuilders.
At first this drug was synthetized in 1997 in USA, and was prescribed to patients with hormonally active type of breast cancer, but nowadays FEMARA is used by athletes all over the world.
It should be noted that these side effects of Letrozole practically do not lend themselves to therapeutic treatment, in course goes operative intervention. To avoid such a terrible symptom, most athletes take care of the proper reduction in the amount of estrogens in the body. This process can occur in two ways: Admission of antiestrogenic drugs or reception of aromatase inhibitors.
Both methods are effective, but they have a different principle of action. Antiestrogens allow you to fight with the already appeared female hormone. But inhibitors of the enzyme aromatase can prevent the process of aromatization, thus not allowing estrogen to appear at all.
Both methods are quite effective, but anti-estrogens help in situations with a small number of female hormones. Aromatase inhibitors such as FEMARA are preferably used in heavier courses of anabolic steroids because of its better biological realization.
It is necessary to understand that the presence of female hormones in the male body is a physical necessity, as well as the presence of testosterone in women body. It is not necessary to abuse aromatase inhibitors permanently as this can lead to unwanted processes. Which include a strong fall of sexual desire.
Applying
Expected effects of FEMARA administration are strengthening muscles, increasing the density of muscle tissue and maintaining the effect of anabolic steroids. The best results you can gain by alternating FEMARA administration with periods of intense training. Also FEMARA can be prescribed with the goal of activation of the body to produce its own, endogenous testosterone, which is necessary to maintain muscles growth.
The product is used both during the use of steroids and during post-course therapy. During the use of steroids, the dosage varies depending on the severity of the course and the conversion of testosterone to estrogens. For more detailed selection of dosage, you should take tests. Some of athletes also use a dosage of 0.5 mg every other day, throughout the entire course of steroids, but you should remember that administration of FEMARA during the course of anabolic steroids can decrease the anabolic effect.
Recommended to use FEMARA after course of steroids for prolongation and maintaining anabolic effect. Usually, you should start FEMARA from 2.5 mg per day for 5-6 weeks, slowly decreasing dose of Letrozole till it reaches 0.5 mg/day. Often athletes combine FEMARA with HGH drugs after the course of steroids to gain better muscles relief and faster water extraction from muscles tissue.
We should admit that the choice of the correct dosage of this drug is a fairly individual process, and this should be selected with medical personnel.
