question from a user
Is arimadex safe to take long term for estrogen management? I’ve seen a few comments on here hinting they are bad for you.
AlphaMD's Answer
It does depend on the context.
If you're talking about in conjuncture with Testosterone to maintain your natural balance, then it's perfectly fine for long term use because you have more estrogen in you due to your body transferring some Testosterone into Estrogen.
If used as a stand alone it will improve your ratio of Estrogen:Testosterone but at the cost of lowering your natural levels. Assuming you don't need that, then it's not good to bottom out your Estrogen. Estrogen is important for many functions in your body including mood, energy, metabolism, and libido.
