Arimidex increases testosterone levelsArimidex lowers estrogen levels, slowing the growth of breast cancer and increasing testosterone levels in men Arimidex is a first-line treatment for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It slows the growth of advanced cancer within the breast and cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Arimidex is also used to treat advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women whose disease has spread to other parts of the body following treatment with tamoxifen (Nolvadex), another anti-cancer drug. Arimidex can also be prescribed along with other drugs to treat the early stages of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Arimidex combats the kind of breast cancer that thrives on estrogen. One of the hormones produced by the adrenal gland is converted to a form of estrogen by an enzyme called aromatase. Arimidex suppresses this enzyme and thereby reduces the level of estrogen circulating in the body. It is quite common for a 59-year old man to have more estrogen circulating in his body (primarily as estradiol) than a 54-year old woman! Arimidex can therefore be used by men wishing to reduce their conversion of testosterone and adrenal hormones to estrogens. It is believed that skewed estrogen ratios, possibly caused by toxins, environmental factors and aging, play a major role in the formation of cancers in both men and women (particularly prostate, cervical and breast) and also lead to other disturbances such as increased fat deposits. Dosage: In postmenopausal women the dose is often 1mg. daily by mouth. Although it's an ‘unofficial’ use, an average of 0.25mg to 0.50mg Arimidex per week is used by men who wish to see their estrogen levels decline, and their free testosterone levels increase. Note: Estradiol, estrone and testosterone levels can be monitored using the hormone test kit.
We also currently offer an additional drug aromatase inhibitor called Femara, plus we provide natural Estrogen Detox. Both can be seen by clicking on their respective names.
