question from a user

What are your thoughts on using Primobolan as an AI instead of Arimidex or Aromasin? I have been told that there have been recent studies which shows that one of Primo's metabolites is Atamestane, which is a suicide AI like Aromasin. My situation is that I am in India atm and the doctor who prescribed me TRT gave me a very poor protocol of Sustanon 250 every third week. If I had argued any further I would have lost my TRT prescription. So I wasn't able to get an AI prescribed and I ended up with severe high E2 symptoms. I have since then been managing my own TRT and was only able to get access to Primobolan. I am having to add high dose of Primo atm(IM injection every 3rd day). So, in terms of health impacts to nuro toxicity, lipids(HDL LDL) and E2 crashing capability(compared to Primo's half life) etc, which is better Primo or AI? In countries like Turkey where Primo is still legal, would it make sense to prescribe Primobolan for AI purposes? Bonus question, I am going back to Australia, do you guys operate in Australia or have any partners in Australia? Third bonus question :-) Does Sub q Testosterone increase the half life of the same ester?

AlphaMD's Answer

In general, low doses of Primobolan have been used as a part of TRT protocols in countries where it is legal. It does help manage estradiol levels and is known to free up more free testosterone from SHBG, making the TRT itself more effective. It also has a very strong libido boost for many.

Head to head, low to moderate dosages of Primobolan are probably as safe as an AI in regards to health markers. Primo wins out in the additional benefits that a traditional AI does not provide (libido, strength, etc).

We don’t currently have any Australian partners, though we are always looking.

SubQ does slow the uptake of testosterone, but also delays the breakdown. It is preferred by many because the peaks and troughs are not as severe as with IM.
