letrozole dosage bodybuilding
Letrozole is one of a series of novel drugs targeting aromatase inhibitors. Male bodybuilders and athletes have found Letrozole to have the ability to mitigate anabolic/androgenic steroid-related estrogenic side effects such as gynecomastia, fat accumulation, and water retention among other side effects. It is the most effective estrogen-lowering drug developed to date and has a more potent effect than non-selective first-generation aromatase inhibitors such as Teslaq and Amiloride.
A dose of 2.5 mg of letrozole per tablet is sufficient to reduce estrogen levels by an average of 78% during clinical use, according to product information. The drug also typically maintains fairly effective properties at lower doses. The product insert states that at low doses of 0.1 and 0.5 mg, respectively, they produced 75 and 78% estrogen suppression, respectively, in many patients in clinical studies. The recommended doses also caused the desired level of suppression in almost all patients. Therefore many people may not need the 2.5mg dose and may only need half a tablet to get good results.
The medically recommended dose of 2.5mg per day reduces the problem of elevated estrogen in anabolism, with weekly intakes of up to 800mg of testosterone and body fat under 15% only 1.25mg is sufficient to suppress estrogen, with weekly intakes of 1000mg or more of testosterone usually 2.5mg of letrozole per day, the exact dosage is adjusted according to the body type, so please refer to the specific case for a more detailed analysis.
