How does an AI work to get rid of water retention?

[gmaury]

Hello everyone,

We all know AI's work well to get rid of water retention caused by excess estrogen in our bodies. But how does this work exactly? I mean does it release the water through urine or sweat? Does it pass through the endocrine system or does it use the sweat glands in our bodies to release this excess water? I ask because I've been using liquid exemestane (aromasin) and I've been getting these sweats from time to time which I find odd. My weight has gone down about 6 lbs in one week but I look ripped as hell, more than ever. Some belly fat has also gone down since I started using this AI as well. If anyone has any insight or just related knowledge please do share folks. Thanks for reading everyone. Have a great weekend guys.

Regards,

G Maury.

excess estrogen is what causes some to retain extra water. An AI reduces estrogen and therefor the water retained by some. The AI itself doesnt cause the water to leave your body it effects your hormones which is what effects water.

Thanks for the reply Zyg. It makes sense that your hormones are the ones causing the water retention and thus the water reduction; but how do the hormones then secrete this excess water? Through urine or sweat? or both? I just want to rule out that it's this AI that's causing these random sweats I'm getting. If it's not then something else is causing it and I have to look for the reason, being it's not normal to have these sweats like if I was a premenopausal elderly woman. Could be some reaction to something else i'm taking. Any thoughts?

excess water is removed typically through urination. The sweating and hot flashes are a common side effect of exemestane.

In its pure ability to stop aromatization, aromasin is better BUT our goal isnt the obliteration of estrogen. When we cycle its all about estrogen CONTROL!

Having said the above for the control of estrogen both aromasin and adex have proven equally effective, which you chose to use will be based on how you feel and respond to them. SOme people get no sides from one but sides from the other etc. Availability and price may affect decision as well.

CONTROL estrogen, dont wipe it out! Also just because one person can run 500mg test a week and not use an AI doesnt mean you can get away with it. almost daily someone posts here they are getting gyno symptoms on moderate test doses and when questioned they opted not to use an AI....dont be that guy!

So far Aromasin has been great to me bro. It's been a week and I'm dried out completely and at this dose my joints feel fins so far so my E isn't that low; you don't want that either. I'm dosing at 10mg ED; try yourself which dose is better for you. If your using compounds that aromatize more then you should maybe up the dose a bit. Aromasin is a suicidal inhibitor which means you are not going to suffer from rebound gyno which is more likely to occur with Arimidex which is not suicidal (it's a competitive inhibitor) in regards to estrogen. Taken from wikipedia:

"...Anastrozole binds reversibly to the aromatase enzyme through competitive inhibition, inhibits the conversion of androgens to estrogens in peripheral tissues (extra-gonadal).[8][9]..."

Estrogen is necessary for good cholesterol levels and libido levels. Dont wipe it out with a suicide AI.
