:wtf:



so, i may be completely wrong about the active ingredient in erase, but is it 7 keto dhea? or a metabolite of that? either way, this study shows a decrease in testosterone AND estrogen....

heres what i found....(someone else found this, i copy and pasted)

1) 7-keto lowers testosterone 15% and estroidal 60%.
2) 7-keto increase thyroid output to NORMAL RANGE ONLY, so if you have healthy thyroid it dosent have any significant on your fat loss program.
3) Many product claims that 7-keto increase thermogenisis, well i found many studies that counter that, and supports BIG CATs theory that 7-keto has no significant thermogenic effects (DHEA dose however).


I also read people saying it reduces cortisol, i searches all studies on it, and find that its only pure speculation. study shows transdermal administration of 25 mg 7-oxo-DHEA for five days, and circulating cortisol levels decreased by 7.4%, but the effect was not statistically significant, although it was close Also, in the results reported by Davidson et al., cortisol levels decreased by 7.7% over eight weeks, but again this was not statistically significant. Thus, the present research suggests that 7-oxo-DHEA functionally reduces cortisol levels, but further research should be conducted to confirm this.

Effects of transdermal application of 7-oxo-DHEA on the levels of steroid hormones, gonadotropins and lipids in healthy men.

Institute of Endocrinology, Prague, Czech Republic. [email protected]

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 7-oxo-DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) on the serum levels of steroid sexual hormones, gonadotropins, lipids and lipoproteins in men. 7-oxo-DHEA was applied onto the skin as a gel to 10 volunteers aged 27 to 72 years for 5 consecutive days. The single dose contained 25 mg 7-oxo-DHEA. Serum concentrations of testosterone, estradiol, cortisol, androstenedione, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), total cholesterol, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein A-I and B and lipoprotein(a) were measured before the beginning and shortly after the end of the steroid application. After the treatment, we noted the following significant changes: a decline of testosterone and estradiol levels, increase of LH, HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I levels. The decrease of total cholesterol levels was of the borderline significance. A slight but significant increase was found in apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein(a). The most expressive was the fall of the atherogenic index. We suggest that the gel containing 7-oxo-DHEA might be a suitable drug for improving the composition of the steroid and lipid parameters in elderly men.

Delayed effects of short-term transdermal application of 7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone on its metabolites, some hormonal steroids and relevant proteohormones in healthy male volunteers.Sulcov? J, Hampl R, Hill M, St?rka L, Nov?cek A.
Institute of Endocrinology, Prague, Czech Republic. [email protected]

Twenty-one healthy male volunteers aged 20-70 years were given transdermally 25 mg of 7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone daily in the form of an emulgel for 8 consecutive days. Morning blood was collected as follows: before application, and after the first, fourth and eighth doses (days 0, 2, 5 and 9), and then at different time intervals after termination of the treatment (days 16, 23, 37, 51, 72 and 100). Cortisol, testosterone, epitestosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulfate, 7alpha- and 7beta-hydroxy-dehydroepiandrosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and sex hormone-binding globulin were measured in blood sera. In the course of treatment 7beta-hydroxy-dehydroepiandrosterone was significantly increased; testosterone and gonadotropins were lowered, but only after the first dose. All other significant changes were observed during the period after termination of the application:7beta-hydroxy-dehydroepiandrosterone remained increased for 28 days, 7alpha-hydroxy-dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, estradiol and sex hormone-binding globulin were decreased as late as day 63 and 91, respectively. On the other hand, epitestosterone was significantly increased between days 23 and 100. The levels of all other parameters studied were not significantly changed (including cortisol). The study points to an immediate as well as delayed effect of the short-term transdermal application of 7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone on relevant hormonal parameters.

Molecular differences caused by differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in the presence of either dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or 7-oxo-DHEA.

Gomez FE, Miyazaki M, Kim YC, Marwah P, Lardy HA, Ntambi JM, Fox BG.

Department of Biochemistry, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, USA.

The effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and 7-oxo-DHEA on the cell size, adiposity, and fatty acid composition of differentiating 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells are correlated with stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) expression (mRNA and protein levels) and enzyme activity. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting shows that preadipocyte cells treated with methylisobutylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin (MDI) plus DHEA comprise a population distribution of predominantly large cells with reduced adiposity. In contrast, cells treated with MDI plus 7-oxo-DHEA comprise a population distribution of almost equal proportions of small and large cells that have an adiposity equivalent to cells differentiated with MDI alone. The cells treated with MDI plus DHEA have significantly reduced levels of total fatty acid, mainly due to a dramatic reduction in the level of palmitoleic (Delta(9)-16:1) acid. The cells treated with MDI plus 7-oxo-DHEA have a significantly increased level of total fat, primarily due to increased levels of Delta(9)-16:1 and palmitic (16:0) acids. At the molecular level, the DHEA-treated cells contain lowered amounts of SCD1 mRNA and antibody-detectable desaturase protein, while 7-oxo-DHEA-treated cells contained elevated levels of SCD1 mRNA and protein. Inhibition of differentiation in DHEA-treated cells was also suggested by a reduction in the mRNA level of the adipogenic gene aP2. At the level of microsomal enzymatic activity, SCD activity was decreased in DHEA-treated cells while the SCD activity was increased in 7-oxo-DHEA-treated cells. The changes in mRNA levels and enzyme activity were concentration-dependent and appeared as early as day 3 of the differentiation protocol. The results show that DHEA and 7-oxo-DHEA have distinct modes of action with respect to the complex transcriptional cascade required for differentiation. Furthermore, differences in the insulin-stimulated uptake of 2-deoxyglucose and in the activity of carnitine palmitoyl transferase observed from either DHEA- or 7-oxo-DHEA-treated cells support the ability of DHEA to produce a thermogenic effect in differentiating preadipocytes, while 7-oxo-DHEA promotes differentiation without other changes typical of thermogenesis


its all copy and pasted.... whatever.... someone please tell me if this would include erase? ... (i have 2 bottles in my room..... i hope i didnt waste money)

You are completely wrong - Erase is not 7-keto DHEA; it is 3,7-keto DHEA (it pays to actually read the product label and write-up).

Erase INcreases Testosterone and DEcreases Estrogen (again, in the product write-up).

Some information on 3,7-keto DHEA (the active in Erase) from the FREE TEST write-up:
Regulating Estrogen and Increasing Testosterone via Suicide Aromatase Inhibition: The Role of 3, 7-Keto DHEA:

* 3, 7-Keto DHEA is a naturally-occurring metabolite of dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA), and is a potent aromatase inhibitor with some very unique qualities. Aromatase is an enzyme that transforms testosterone into estrogen, and the more active aromatase is, the more estrogen will ultimately be present. Therefore, aromatase inhibitors significantly decrease the level of estrogen in the body. This is important as increased estrogen in men can signal the hypothalamic pituitary testicular axis (HPTA) to shut down the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH signals the production of luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals the production of testosterone. Therefore, increased estrogen levels can lower endogenous testosterone production (21,29,31).

* 3, 7-Keto DHEA has demonstrated strong ability to lower estrogen, thus mitigating this effect. It has a high binding affinity (Ki value = 0.22 mM) to the aromatase enzyme, and binds in an irreversible manner, making it a suicide inhibitor of aromatase. Ki Values measure how efficiently a compound binds to its associated receptor. The lower the Ki value; the higher the binding affinity. This inhibition allows for the production of less estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) and allows the user of the compound to maintain a higher level of testosterone; hence improving the Testosterone: Estrogen (T:E) ratio. The mechanism through which aromatase inhibitors raise testosterone is fairly simple; the HPTA senses low levels of estrogen, and because the body seeks to maintain homeostasis (it likes to maintain at least some estrogen, even in men), there is a concurrent increase in the amount of testosterone that is being produced, as a way to compensate for the low estrogen levels. The increased testosterone levels normally will result in increased estrogen since there is no estrogen being produced. Essentially, the brain is tricked into trying to produce more estrogen, so it releases more luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) and subsequently more LH, leading to even higher testosterone levels (20,21-23).

* All aromatase inhibitors share this characteristic of positively altering the T:E ratio, and all will raise serum testosterone levels in men, which has been referenced in numerous studies. 3,7-Keto DHEA is comparable in potency to several other commonly available aromatase inhibitors. As explained above, a lower Ki value means higher potency, making it more potent than both Formestane and Exemestane, and very similar to androstentrione (ATD) (31,55).

* 3,7-Keto DHEA is unique from other commonly used aromatase inhibitors in sports supplements in that it is a natural metabolite of 7-Keto DHEA and it cannot directly bind to the androgen receptor. 3,7-Keto DHEA (like 7-Keto DHEA) also cannot convert to testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone via any type of enzymatic reaction, so by strict definition it cannot in any way be considered a prohormone. This clearly differentiates it from other recently banned products that allow for the direct conversion to a controlled substance in the body (in either in trace amounts or full-scale conversion). This can not occur with 3,7-Keto DHEA, as it is formed naturally in humans from 7-Keto DHEA and can be readily found in humans in the amount of 5-7 ug/day (23-24).

rosie, i have a difficult time reading product write ups because i dont believe them!

there are so many products out there that have outrageous claims like "increases testosterone 930%" ...

what is the difference between 3,7 keto dhea and 7 keto dhea? from what i just read my understanding is that 3,7 is a metabolite of 7 keto .......

either way im just trying to find some more information about this stuff before i start using it...

i KNOW the company will tell me "its great" and all... but look at ATD, howcome the labels didnt say its not only a potent ai, but acts as an anti-androgen... (and that you will fail a drug test for bold metabolites) < they have since added the last part

look at all these other BS supplements with their ridiculous product claims.... its very hard for me to differentiate the garbage from a potentially decent supplement, because EVERY company makes their product "sound" good....

do you happen to know of any decent studies about the 3,7 keto?>

thanks for your help

the 3 and 7 in 3,7 Keto DHEA aren't just random asss numbers bro. They relate to the specific arangement of the actives on the basic hormonal structure. So while 3,7 keto dhea may seem similar to 7keto dhea it really is not.

Just searching this site in particular isn't going to give anyone a good idea of how well a particular supplement works. Especially when the company that manufactures the product is a sponsor.

heres the thing tho, how do i know who is actually loving it because they got sent a free bottle from a rep? (i have actually been pmed by reps here to post something positive about their product)

is there any "non-sponsored" reputable bloodwork for erase?

or is it just a bunch of people saying "i can tell its working, because i feel it"

do you happen to know of any studies or pre-post bloodwork ??

If we sent out a bottle of Erase to every good review here on AM, PES would not be in business.

I hope you are not including PES in your statement about being PMed by reps. As we never ask for positive feedback, look in the beta stim thread, we obviously want brutal truth.

There has been people post up blood work on their own accord here somewhere.

Studies have been posted showing the most absolutely lowest Ki value of any available product. I am not on my home computer, so I do not have it on hand, but it shouldn't be hard to find on here.

If there is any reason that PES has been less than honest or trustworthy toward you or anyone, please raise the problem with myself or Natty as we bend our ass over backwards to make sure business with PES is a pleasant experience.

because i got bloodwork done 2 weeks ago, and im not about to spend the money it costs to get MORE bloodwork over a 20 dollar bottle of who knows what.....

did u not comprehend the point of this thread? Im trying to find out if the product is worth using, if it is, i will likely use it, if not ill sell it for more than u will buy it for.

i dont need your additude bro, if u wanna be sarcastic take that sh*t somewhere else please....

No PES reps asked... but other company(s) have.... can you post up any of these studies and where they came from? i cant find much about the active ingredient...

i havent had any issues with PES, i am just having difficulty finding any information that i can go by.......

You see I don't see it as attacking any certain company. It is just someone being skeptical of a new supplement. That is certainly understandable. A lot of people don't want to post anything negative about a sponsored companies product because of backlash like this. Twisting the skeptical persons opinion into something completely different than what was meant. What people can't have opinions and maybe not like every supplement company that is a sponsor on this board?.

....Let me guess, that makes them "Haters"?

Nope not haters but usually after people respond to the concerns that people have it doesn't keep going and get worse.
Research is good. Lord knows I read tons about everything but usually after my questions or concerns have been answered I make a decision. To buy or not to buy.

I see. Well, not all companies are the same and some actually do thoroughly research every ingredient used in their products - Dirk is one of them, and i know this personally - so please do not make a blanket assumption about technical product write-ups produced by supplement companies.

As the abstract mentioned, "3, 7-Keto DHEA is a naturally-occurring metabolite of dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA)."

Go ahead and do some more research - definitely doesn't hurt and you should anyways. Plus I will echo T-Bone's sentiment on it not being sensible about purchasing something you didn't know or were sure about, regardless of why you got it.

Browse through the references in the abstract I provided you with. Otherwise, Josh may have some he can refer you to.

1, why do u like erase, because you FEEL like its working? if this is the case... youre crazy
2. did u get bloodwork?
3. did you take this without doing research and just going on the words of reps and reviews?


i generally try not to take suggestions by word of mouth..

come on guys, im not trying to make this something negative at all... i am simply trying to find some information about this.... im sure between all of us and some google, we might be able to find some bloods or something....

I'm ordering my buddy a bottle along with some DAA. He's trying to cut down a weight class for his MMA fighting before he makes his pro debut.
If you'd like, I can add you to my contacts and you can hold onto that bottle for the next month. After he is done with his bottle, I can PM you his results or link you to a thread post.

He has moved up and down weight classes numerous times, so he should have a pretty good feel on how this supplement will aide him in his goals.

i aint gonna be mad at ya for doubting the product, when it 1st came out we all had our doubts it would live up to it's claims. now that it's been out for awhile there are quite a few of us who really believe in the product.

i use it as my ai on trt, and it has worked very well for me. haven't had blood drawn for awhile, but i do know it dried up a lot of the water weight i was holding from the test cyp.

heres my issue... i am having a hard time finding information/bloodwork about the active ingredient in erase, i am not doubting you or your company, and i am certainly not trying to prevent you from making your money.... the question is, what information about this active ingredient made you use it for this product.... i have had reps from other companies make ridiculous claims about their products doing ridiculous things (had to delete this part to post it) ... im not trying to flame your company, im just having a problem finding any reputable information that isnt "hype"...

do you have any good studies about 3,7?

here is nattydisaster's response

We discovered the compound based on studies on various DHEA derived aromatase inhibitors. The studies can be found only if you have subscribed journal access such as through a school or institution, or if you pay for them.

We cannot give the studies out because they are not available to the public therefore if we give them to the public it is copywrite infringement on the journal



i guess my ?s have been answered thanks to those of u who attempted to help....

On paper and anecdotal reports back up the fact that the active in Erase is an AI. Just because there isnt as much blood work floating around doesnt mean it wont work, how many negative things have you even heard?

A quote from Patrick Arnold when asked about a 6-oxo alternative - "the androsta-3,5-diene7,17-dione appears to have substantial AI properties on paper. i believe its in free test by AN and other products like erase by whoever"

right, i get that.... it is a metabolite of 7 keto dhea... kind of like i said in my first post.... (i am far from a chemist) ...... still searching
Bro, estradiol is a metabolite of testosterone, and they're completely different. Likewise, 3,7-keto is likely much different from 3-keto (but I dont know for sure, but just saying no reason to immediately doubt this from the reading).

i havent heard, or said anything negative about erase, i am just questioning/researching its effectiveness as an ai.... since when did this become a bad thing?


on the same forum you got that quote, i remember reading patrick arnold saying something along the lines of " PCT is overrated" and that "back in the day they didnt have it"

the only way to know for sure if this ingredient is a decent AI... is to wait until people start bashing it for their raised estrogen levels on their bloodwork, or praising it for doing a good job regulating them....

thebigt stated that he is on trt using test cyp and erase as an ai , i figure a good idea would be for him to post/relay his next blood test results for us to see... he agreed

Everything solved?

I linked you to 2 studies. I cannot actually give you the studies themselves. You would have to buy them from the journal


thank you for your help, wish i had that journal lol..........

Who ever said this was a bad thing? Im all for challenging some of the new things that are being touted as ergogenics, but in this case im just playing devils advocate.

Im sure if PA did state that in regards to PCT, youre taking it out of context. Theres threads on people asking him about pct, heres a response to one - "basically start with a serm and then go to an aromatase inhibitor." And there was a point in time when PCT didnt exist, but people didnt know as much back then.

Id be curious to see bigTs blood tests as well if Erase is the only form of e-control in the mix.

absolutely, i wouldn't have it any other way-if i can pass on usefull info to this forum not only would it be my honor to do so but i would consider it my obligation-with that being said it might be awhile in coming, since being on trt for awhile now my bloods are only scheduled for every 6 months

heres the thing tho, how do i know who is actually loving it because they got sent a free bottle from a rep? (i have actually been pmed by reps here to post something positive about their product)

is there any "non-sponsored" reputable bloodwork for erase?

or is it just a bunch of people saying "i can tell its working, because i feel it"

do you happen to know of any studies or pre-post bloodwork ??
I pmed you to see if you could give a review of a supplement. Nowhere sid I say "good" or ask you to be dishonest or offer you compensation. Just wanted an honest review.

I have used 4 bottles of erase and it worked great. I don't rep for PES.

I should add I saw a reduction in pubertal gyno while using it similiar to when using other ais like letro and
exemestane

i didnt mention your name or pp in this thread.... and maybe i wasnt referring to you when i said rep(S).... and while you may not have asked me for a dishonest review you asked for a shoutout, (generally a shoutout means something positive)

you asked me to give a "shoutout/review".... and then gave me a promotion code to get 15% off my next bottle of liverjuice

i had no problem posting something up about liverjuice, because i have used the product, and had bloodwork done ... i like the product, and so does my liver... (not because i can feel my liver) but because i had bloodwork done after a 6 week dzine cycle and my liver was in good shape...

but you are not the rep that i was referring to, just to make it clear.... and im not about to go throwing people under the bus, im not about that.... my point was...

As a rep, you promote the products your company produces.... PERIOD....

one thing to remember when buying supplements,

most companies wouldnt let the truth get in the way of a good sale....

Not to Hijack, but how was that?

Also the the OP: There are plenty of people on here digging Erase. Reps, reps from other companies and regular members.

i really liked it alot-my new favorite formestane product. since it is hormonal i will only run it maybe twice a year. i you are looking for a formestane product it is the one i would recommend. if looking for an oral formestane, i would go with pp's formestane lv-not nearly as strong but much more convenient, imo.

holy fing cow this same BS I see all the dam time oh is this product good just try it write your review good or bad.. for all you folks who want to buy supps do the following

1.research
2. have your training and diet in check
3 write a review... if you want too...

why is that so hard!
Where do you reccomend he research? Let's be realistic here. Alot of these supplements have little to no specific research with clear outcome. Since the majority of the science community is NOT interested in studying supplements solely from a bodybuilder's point of view, it can be hard to find studies that are not carried out or at least sponsored by an organization that will benifit from the outcome. While single studies on some supplements can be found, basing a final conclusion on ONE study is quite naive. Allowing a study to move you in a certain direction towards further clarifying a supplement's effect (perhaps by further research, personal trial, or communication with others who have experience) seems like an intelligent approach IMO.
I don't think there is anything wrong with someone looking for affirmation before using a product, and I think it would nothing less than silly to get that from a product's write up. I read write ups too, but few products ever live up to a manufacturer's claim at the level suggested on the label.
I have never received a PM from a rep in regards to my reveiw of a product that I can remember. I do think 90% of supplement reveiws are done by people who want to beleive the product works, and as a result the reveiws often fall victum to placebo effect, or even the reveiwer's want to be liked by forum members or companies. How often do you see reveiws that state "this product didnt work at all"? Seldom do products get all negative reveiws. Compare that to the number of products that have been proven to be useless or even harmless over the past few years... There were obviously people who beleived a product helped them, when it (in some cases) most likely didnt.

I'm not sure if the OP is going to find the confirmation he's looking for here. He may just have to make a descision based on the info he already has, but I certainly wouldn't fault him for trying to further his knowledge as much as possible. "Just try it" is an attitude that is likely to put you in a bad situation down the road.
