Difference between DIM and Arimadex

[Guest guest]

I am not completely clear on the difference between these two " medications "

As I understand it, DIM is not an aromatase inhibitor. Instead it converts

estradiol into less potent estrogens that can be eliminated

and in doing so it improves the T/E2 ratio. T stays constant.

Arimadex, on the other hand, blocks conversion of T to E2 so the

T/E2 ratio is improved by both an increase in T and a decrease in E2.

Is this correct?

If it is correct it would seem that Arimadex would be the better choice if T is

low to begin with.

This sort of begs another question.

If E2 is high is it possible to get enough T using Arimadex so that one could

avoid the need Testosterone replacement?
