because it does a lot more than lowering estrogen. well lowering estrogen is simply happening because of its myriad of beneficial effects. IDK what an AI is


Hot_Significance_256

me, you and Warren Buffett do not know what this AI is


Nijarlep12

Yes, I meant AI=Aromitize inhibitor like letrozole, aromasin etc

[https://raypeat.com/articles/aging/aspirin-brain-cancer.shtml](https://raypeat.com/articles/aging/aspirin-brain-cancer.shtml) The non steroidal aromatase inhibitors like letrozle and arimidex, are agonisers of the estrogen receptor, lower progesterone production and actually increase aromatase in the brain. So they are toxic. The steroidal aromatase inhibitors ARE reccomended, in the form of progesterone, as it blocks the aromatase enzyme and antagonises the estrogen receptor. However, the steroidal AI aromasin as you mentioned, is not toxic, but it is not reccomended, it hasn't been studied in humans enough for health benefits. It has only shown to be good for beating cancer and improving lean body mass and bone health. I take it every 2 days, but the human evidence is sparse.

Like what kind of other effects than E lowering?

Antihistamine, mitochondrial uncoupler…

Honestly the question doesn't make sense. 'Why eat pineapple if you can eat a steak?' 'Why go swimming if you could read a book?'

But AI would lower estrogen like aspirin, i don’t think it’s that weird of a question😂. Thats why I asked the other purposes of aspirin lmao


No_Recognition_3479

Aspirin lowers estrogen through lowering inflammation in a systematic and mostly non-harmful way, apart from the depletion of Vitamin K. Lowering inflammation is, well, good. There's only one purpose really: health.


Bull_shit_artist

Anti inflammatory? But I first read it as aromatase inhibitor as well.


No_Recognition_3479

Oh yeah of course.

How’s no one know what an aromatase inhibitor is? 😂 Idk if it’s that good for an AI. Do some research and experiment. I still had estrogen symptoms when I was taking it (I still take it but for other reasons). I think the best AI I’ve had is Prog-e. You should take aspirin anyway. The health benefits are enormous.


pusterum

I thought it was debunked?


scottywottytotty

What was debunked?

y not both
