How is an AIs function different to SERM

[SidG]

Hi guys

Is anyone able to explain in Laymans terms how an AI works differently to a SERM? And how it's use in PCT is different.

I have Nolva already but assume something like 6 bromo not be an effective AI?

Thanks in advance.

Nolva will make your nuts work again after being suppressed / shutdown.

An AI lowers estrogen..

Pretty much sums it up.. More to it than that, but you asked lol

An (AI) Aromatase Inhibitor simply prevents the aromatase enzyme from acting with testosterone. So in a sense, it keeps the testosterone from turning into estrogen. While with a (SERM) Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator, it will have a direct effect on your estrogen receptors rather than the estrogen itself. Basically a SERM will just prevent estrogen from being able to act on its cellular effects in the body.

The SERM will block estrogen from acting in the body if it is produced and then an AI will prevent your body from producing estrogen, two very different actions. That is why an AI is often taken on cycle to prevent estrogen production. However, with cycles that cannot have an AI as part of the regime due to its effects on the cycle, the individual would take a SERM instead because estrogen was produced on cycle and now it needs to have its effects and actions brought to a hault during the post cycle.

Thanks for the replies.

So this is why an AI is not a necessity on say a Halo cycle because it is not highly aromatising?

Is something like 6 bromo any good at keeping estro in check?

I would say it is unnecessary with Halo due to it killing off your much higher aromatizing levels of test anyway. An AI would likely be a bit of an overkill and possibly counterproductive to your goals with the use of Halo.

As for 6-Bromo, it is great for the suppression of estrogen levels! Basically it works by inhibiting the process of aromatization. 6-Bromo attaches itself to the estrogen enzyme and prevents it from effecting the body. This in turn, gives a result of aromatization being inhibited and your estrogenic side effects will decrease and eventually stop over time.

Thanks for the advice.

You think 6bromo would be useful alongside Nolva as part of PCT or is even that overkill?

 

[WILL_I_AM]

Might be an overkill after a Halo cycle that doesn't aromatize as much, with that I'd probably just recommend Nolva. I have however used Nolva in tangent with 6 bromo after a cycle and it worked well for me. I recommend one of the following if you were to run them together. The doses are only suggestions, please adjust as you see fit.

nolva - 20/20/10/10
6bromo - 0/1/2/3/2/1
or
nolva - 20/20/10/10
6bromo - 0/0/3/2/1/1

Little better dosed cycle on the Nolva as it will be of most importance, then 6-bromo lighter and 1-2 weeks past Nolva as a standalone.

i would just use nolva or clomid for the pct IMO

This is probably the best option so I'm in agreement, like I had said both may be a bit of an overkill. Clomid or Nolva would be the best option and save the 6-bromo for a standalone perhaps down the road.

Thanks mate, that's really helpful.
