Differenes Between Formestane (Formex) and 6-Bromo

I see that Nutra has 6-Bromo in stock. I'm nt realy familiar with 6-Bromo; can somene tell e te dfference between 6-Bromo and Formestane. They are both suicidal aromatase inhibitors, right?

Is one superior to the other for certain applications?

I'm trying to decide whether I should invest in some of this while Nutra has it, considering I already have several bottle of Formesane (Formex)

Formestane is by far the better OTC A.I.
Just make sure to get the transdermal version, and not powder.
You can easily look it up on google any information on formestane...
 
Nunes...Yeah, that seems to be what I'm hearing a lot; but still I don't know the differences between these two substances.

formex is by IBE right whats the price?
 
6-Bromo on paper seems to be the superior AI. It is a mix of 6a and 6b isomers and one is a suicide inhibitor and the other is a competitive inhibitor. Competitive inhibitors don't destroy the enzyme, they bind and release.

Formestane is also quite potent, but not as potent as the 6-Bromo's. So, then it is just a matter of preference. I would say that either would do depending on the desired use.
 
So to a testosterone boosting effect, in order to achive more anabolic activity with the less sides possible from the estrogen lowering effects, wich is better?
And Legal Gear what do you mean with "desired use"? Are you talking about PCT and simple test boosting regimin or something else?
 
Not to thread jack, but is 6-Bromo effective on a cut....or is it better used during a bulk, with a test booster?
 
Form for bulk, Bromo for cut IMO. I prefer 6-Bromo over form, seems to be more predictable in it's effects and really dried out the chest fat.
 
Here is my comparison of OTC AIs

ATD - Strong drying effect, strong testicle swelling effect, strong libido lowering effect

6oxo - Low drying effect, medium testicle swelling effect, low libido enhancing effect

IBE Formex - Strong drying effect, low testicle swelling effect, medium libido enhancing effect.

6-Bromo - Medium drying effect, low testicle swelling effect, medium libido enhancing effect, oily skin and acne effect not noticed in others

The fact that ATD makes my balls swell up like golf balls leads me to believe it has some sort of additional HPTA enhancing effect other than being an AI.

I prefer 6oxo but its difficult to obtain these days.

I made my best gym gains using ALRI Restore, which is a 6-bromo product. I didnt care for the oily skin and acne though.

^^This

Formestane is a PH to 4-hydroxy-testosterone (a mild anabolic), and IMO is better to build mass than 6-bromo, but 6-br is a better AI.
 
And where does low dosed Androsterone (like the one used in Formadrol) enter in this list?
 
So what are the side effects of using a suicide inhibitor such as the analouge found in 6-bromo? Wouldn't that mess you up in the future?

just because on isomer is a "suicide inhibitor" does not mean permanent like forever. just while using and while in your system . Idk if thats what u were talking about by this question but ive seen a few people unsure as to what suicide inhibition actually means. so basically when u cease usage the inhibition of aromatase stops aswell. hopefully that helps idk
 
Great thread. Let's hope LG comes back to detail how these substances would be just as enhancement supplements rather than in PCT.

How can Formex have a better drying effect and still being a better mass builder as JBerto said, since the situation of conversion to another hormone is still possible with 6-bromo (to 6-bromo-testosterone, wich acording to some studies might have about 1-2.8 times the anabolic activity of testosterone)?:think:
 
Please, anyone? I'm about taking a 6-bromo product, that's why I do need such an urgent answer :D
 
Broly, you're not going to get a definitive answer. Just choose one and run it, I think you'll be OK with either one as long as you don't go overboard and lower your estrogen levels too far.

Thanks Crowbar!
That's realy my only issue with AI's, since my experience with Novedex I've become much more carefull about what to choose. But once again thanks:thumbsup:
 
I can only give you my opinion with the product iv taken and thats 6 bromo. I took hyperdrol x2 from ax and i really liked it as a test booster stacked with mass fx but to be honest i really think it was just a add in as mass fx is what really jacked up my libido. I noticed if i took one pill close too close to one another i got bad stomach aches kinda like i was gonna puke.

I guess you just have to try them for yourself because everybodys different in the aspects of how something affects the body.
 
I'm about to take Restore from ARLI, I don't know how much 6-bromo it contais (any guesses are welcomed) but I still like to know how does things work and what to expect from them ;)
 
restore was great in pct and had a great libido boost. All around a good test booster if the price is right.
 
I hope it will come this week to start my "cycle" sunday before bed. I'll be dosing it 1/2/2/2/1 to 5 weeks, if I feel I can bump a little on the 3rd week I'll do 1/2/3/2/1, but I'll let you know when I finish;)
Any suggestions to my "cycle"? (I guess it isn't right to call it a cycle, but...)
 
Broly - I've used Restore as a standalone several times and it's great but your not going to get anything out of only 1 a day. Get 2 bottles and run 3 a day for 6 weeks. You'll really notice a difference. If you can't get 2 bottles just run 3 a day for 30 days.

I got stronger and leaner using this by itself. This is hormonal just in case you didn't know.

Good luck!

Well, yes it is hormonal, yet i am of the impression that 6-bromo is very light in its effects and likewise in its side effects. Please, shine some light on this subject if you will. i have read so many contradictory articles that it's making my head spin. Some members on AM have told me i didn't need to run a pct for 6-bromo and it wouldn't have any side effects. The only time i used it was in May '09. It was decent and the only thing i have used that has been hormonal. There were some sides to it, but mostly just diarrhea. i didnt notice any gyno. But, i would like to know as much as possible(through ppl's experiences on it) before i decide to give it another chance.

Any help is appreciated.

Nice tip Dalto ;)
I admit, I'm starting with such a low dose due to my naturaly high testosterone levels (757,5 ng/dl in a scale that considers 800ng/dl as the maximum for an adult man) and also because of my previous experience with novedex XT at just one pill per day, wich made me sore joints, killed my libido but it also gave me good sides (strength, leaning and good mood). So with this in mind do you still think that 1 is just too low, or should I start with 2 then up to 3?
And yes, I know it is hormonal and the conversion of 6-bromoandrostenedione to 6-bromotestosterone, just don't know if it is high enough to be consider a "cycle" as we reffer to:D
 
The amount of 6 bromo in Restore is not listed. I would stick to 3 a day, but I know that is what works for me. You won't need to worry about sore joints, etc. It has other ingrediants to help modulate estrogen to keep it from going too low.

Also don't need to worry about PCT with this, just wouldn't use it for longer than 8 weeks with an equal break. The other hormonal in it is the mBeat, which is good at cortisol control to help you lean out.

I like this product. It's a nice medium between natty test boosters and the stronger PH/DS, which I've used many off. FYI- the straight 6 Bromo at Nutra has been good to me also as a standalone test booster at 3 a day for 6 weeks.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks alot Dalto:D
You've helped me before I do something stupid with it and wasting Restore away:thumbsup:
 
oops, i've never tried restore, but my experience was with Hyperdrol X2.. i have ordered the straight 6-bromo product from Nutra by performance design, it should be here next week. hoping it will be worth the money...

thank you for all the info you have given. all knowledge helps

Keep in mind that HX2 had 50mg per cap at a recommended dosage of 4 caps per day. NP 6 Bromo is 25mg per cap. Start with 1 cap 3 times a day and see how that works. If you don't see anything bump it up to 2 caps 3 times a day. At NP's price it's very affordable. I've stocked up on it. Love it so far!

Hope this helps - I know the original thread was asking for comparisons between 6 Bromo and Formestane. I've used both - biggest difference is I felt transdermal form worked a bit quicker and you could almost feel a rush from it. 6 Bromo takes a bit longer to "feel" in my opinion. I've used Formex also as part of PCT which was effective - but I can't comment on how it worked as a stand alone product.

2 different hormones - really two different methods of action. With NP's low prices pick up both and try them out over seperate occasions. Just make sure you get the bulk powder & Penetrate to make your form TD. In any case the straight 6 Bromo probably wont be around much longer.

Sorry for not responding before, didnt see this thread still getting activity.

Like I said, I had better gym gains with the 6-bromo product Restore than with Formex.

My guess is that 6-bromo directly stimulates the androgen receptor as well as being an AI. This would account for the oily skin and acne that I experienced, since when androgen receptors in the skin are activated, they produce oil.

My feeeling is that Formex might be better for PCT because you dont want to be stimulating AR's when you want to recover your balls, in fact it might be better to block them ( at least in the hypothalamus ) which ATD may infact do.

My guess is that you will NOT need a PCT for 6-bromo because the AI effect likely negates the AR stimulating, so its probably neither suppressive nor very stimulating on HPTA, sort of neutral.

I would run 3 a day like the bottle suggests. Like I said, I made above average strength and muscle gains while on it standalone ( well along with Primaforce Cissus which I always take ).

It also has an anti-cortisol which is good for your testicles, and may help keep fat down during a bulk.
 
Thanks FrnakJ;)
Btw, should I have any special kind of diet care with this substance, like higher protein or carbs intake or any supplements to enhace its effects?
 
I always run Cissus with any product that might dry out my joints or tendons. Primaforce or USPLabs both make a good version.

As far as diet goes, you would have to go into more detail about your goals.

In general I eat low fat, high protien, high complex carbs, low sugar and I simply eat more and do zero cardio when I want to gain weight. When I want to cut, I do cardio and I eat less, especially for dinner.

Edit, I just noticed you are 6'6 205lbs so I guess you want to gain.

You probably need 5000-6000 calories a day to gain weight at that height. Like I said, you are what you eat so your gains will be more solid if you eat clean.
 
Hum, ok. The dry joints is my main concern, but thanks for the tip;)
Yeah, my target is either keep this weight but dry out, since I've gained 5lbs between Christmas and New Year Holidays, or even go up to 210, but lean. Its like a clean bulk what I'm looking for. And belive me, it's hard to put some muscle with this size:(
 
Btw, shouldn't I worry about estrogen rebound from the 6-bromo in Restore? If it might happen, tappering down to two pills a day would be enough?
