Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Arimidex blocks the conversion it dose nothing to Aromatase. DIM converts Estradiol into good E's so your liver can was them out. Here read this link. http://www.dimfaq.com/index.htm But now that all the Vit. Co.'s know about how good DIM is for women and men there is a lot of junk for sale out there that dose not work well. I tell men to get Indolplex/DIM if it dose not have Indolplex in it it dose not work very well.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Some people that are under methylators respond negatively to dim because they have a plug in the metabolic pathways that does not allow to make it beneficial. Even though 2/16 ratio is proper one has to methylate in order to be beneficial to the body. > > > From: greg vitiello <cupid1017@...> > > Subject: DIM vs. Arimidex > > > > Date: Thursday, January 20, 2011, 4:22 PM > > If I understand it correctly, Does > > Arimidex prevent the conversion of T to E2 by > > inhibiting aromatase, while DIM gets rid of the E2 instead > > of inhibiting the > > conversion. > > > > > > If this is correct, IS Arimidex is the better solution, as > > it will leave more T > > in the system. > > > > Do I have this right and what do others think about the > > best solution to high > > E2? > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think I get what you're asking. You're wanting to know if the mechanism for how Arimidex works makes it superior to DIM, right? As in, blocking testosterone from converting to estradiol in the first place (Arimidex or other AIs) versus just promoting healthier estrogen metabolites to help wash out estrogens by taking DIM, which would NOT address excessive aromatase activity that's stealing your testosterone. Interesting question. I would want to know if the amount of testosterone being lost through too much aromatase is of much significance when estradiol is such a potent hormone that only a tiny bit causes havoc. I thought too much estradiol was the main problem and that if DIM worked for your symptoms, you're good. After all, too much estradiol inhibits what testosterone production you are capable of, so ones can have testosterone levels improve on either approach. -Nigel On 20 January 2011 15:22, greg vitiello <cupid1017@...> wrote: > > > If I understand it correctly, Does Arimidex prevent the conversion of T to > E2 by > inhibiting aromatase, while DIM gets rid of the E2 instead of inhibiting > the > conversion. > > If this is correct, IS Arimidex is the better solution, as it will leave > more T > in the system. > > Do I have this right and what do others think about the best solution to > high > E2? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 The way I understand it is your body naturally makes E2 & testosterone converts into E2. Arimidex stops most of the conversion from T to E2 and DIM helps get rid of the any existing E2 natural or converted. > > > > > > > If I understand it correctly, Does Arimidex prevent the conversion of T to > > E2 by > > inhibiting aromatase, while DIM gets rid of the E2 instead of inhibiting > > the > > conversion. > > > > If this is correct, IS Arimidex is the better solution, as it will leave > > more T > > in the system. > > > > Do I have this right and what do others think about the best solution to > > high > > E2? > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 with low e2 body will shift to higher estrone levels to mantain balance for these go back and forth. > > > > > > > > > > > If I understand it correctly, Does Arimidex prevent the conversion of T to > > > E2 by > > > inhibiting aromatase, while DIM gets rid of the E2 instead of inhibiting > > > the > > > conversion. > > > > > > If this is correct, IS Arimidex is the better solution, as it will leave > > > more T > > > in the system. > > > > > > Do I have this right and what do others think about the best solution to > > > high > > > E2? > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
