did get some joint stiffness
Epi & SD “do not aromatise to estrogen” so more than likely you will experience “Estrogen deprivation” causing your joint stiffness and sore joints.
I believe the natural testosterone levels decrease and there is less to aromatase to estrogen leading to “Estrogen Deprivation” and the symptoms that come with it.
I got the below quote from a website about women and “Estrogen Deficiency Symptoms” but I believe it would still apply to people who dose PH/DS during straight cycles or pulse cycles.
Estrogen deprivation can also make the joints sore and inflamed. A condition known as menopausal arthritis may also develop due to fluctuating estrogen levels. Estrogen is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, so a decrease in its production is likely to cause inflammation of the joints.
I also experienced these symptoms, joints that go snap crackle pop and sore during pulse cycles.
To combat this I have dosed D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) Supplements during my entire pulse cycles, from start throughout pct.
In an attempt to keep my natural testosterone levels or possibly increase them so that some can be aromatase to estrogen and help my joints from going snap crackle pop and sore during pulse cycles.
The dosing of D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) Supplements during my pulse cycles seemed to help my joints.
Now I have no blood workups to backup my theory, but it has worked for me.
I have only done pulse cycles, so I don’t know how effective it would be for straight cycles.
The dosage of aromatase inhibitors such as erase I have read on this and other boards can cause estrogen deprivation symptoms.
Now I’m not saying not to take aromatase inhibitors such as erase if you’re trying to lower estrogen effects for increased muscle gains.
But I would think when dosing aromatase inhibitors. Dosing D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) Supplements during a pulse cycle would not help sore joints.
Dosing D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) Supplements is just something I have experimented with great success during my entire pulse cycles to combat my joints from going snap crackle pop and being sore.
BTW I also dose MSM & Vitamin C.
5 grams MSM(methylsulfonylmethane) {Joint support // Building Healthy Connective Tissues}
5 grams Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) {Joint support // Building Healthy Connective Tissues}
