Are you asking as far as coming off a cycle or just as a stand alone product?
I have used both. Novedex xt was good but i would only use 1or 2 caps a day seeing as how anymore than 3 caps completely dried out my joints.
I got a bottle off a buddy that is 3/4 full and the active in it is: 6-alpha-methyl-etiocholene-3, 17-dione
I believe formestane is: androst-4-ene-4-hydroxy-3,17-dione
They dont appear to be the same
Yeah I heard the new stuff doesn't work as well as the old stuff. I wouldn't know, I've only tried the new.
What are your thoughts on the new??
i have been really wanting to try novedex xt how is it on the sex drive.how does it compare to the other test booster hpertest,disel test,alpha drive,etc
Many people report lowered libido due to the ATD in Novedex.

In recent years products containing 6alpha-methylandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione have appeared on the sport supplement market. Scientific studies have proven aromatase inhibition and anabolic and mild androgenic properties; however, no preparation has been approved for medical use up to now. In sports 6alpha-methylandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione has to be classified as a prohibited substance according to the regulations of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). For the detection of its misuse the metabolism was studied following the administration of two preparations obtained from the Internet (Formadrol and Methyl-1-Pro). Several metabolites as well as the parent compounds were synthesized and the structures of 3alpha-hydroxy-6alpha-methyl-5beta-androstan-17-one, 6alpha-methylandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione, and 5beta-dihydromedroxyprogesterone were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The main metabolite, 3alpha-hydroxy-6alpha-methyl-5beta-androstan-17-one, was found to be excreted as glucuronide and was still detectable in microg/mL amounts until urine collection was terminated (after 25 h). Additionally, samples from routine human sports doping control had already tested positive for the presence of metabolites of 6alpha-methylandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione. Screening analysis can be easily performed by the existing screening procedure for anabolic steroids using 3alpha-hydroxy-6alpha-methyl-5beta-androstan-17-one as target substance (limit of detection <10 ng/mL). Its discrimination from the closely eluting drostanolone metabolite, 3alpha-hydroxy-2alpha-methyl-5alpha-androstan-17-one, is possible as the mono-TMS derivative.

Both products from the sport supplement market (Formadrol and Methyl-1-Pro) were found to contain 6a-methylandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione (3) by GC/MS comparison with the synthesized reference material. Additionally, both products contained remarkable amounts of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione.
Are there any Formestane products for oral ingestion avail anymore?
Novedex was more effective, gave me strength increases and libido while formadrol just made me horny. but, with the Gaspari any more than 2 pills a night and I get real pissy and aggravated, 2 pills is the sweet spot for me in dosage.Between these 2, which has been a more effective test booster/anti E for you?

I have had good success with GN's Novedex XT but I strongly recommend tapering it down from 3 caps to 2, 1, and finally 1 cap every other day.
With XT, I was able to boost my test to 1187 ng/dl and I'm almost 37 years old.
just be careful taking that much novedex, i've heard people getting dry joints from taking 4 novedex a day
