3 things about Aromasin/Exemestane:
1. Administration- Aromasin should ALWAYS be taken with a meal that includes at least 30g of fat. Aromasin is fat soluble meaning it needs to be able to bind to dietary fat in the stomach in order for it to be metabolized in the body. If you take it on an empty stomach, or with a meal that includes little to no fat, it will not be metabolized fully and will be far less effective than it should be. It does NOT need to be taken preworkout, for any reason. I don’t know where that idea comes from, but it’s false.
2. Timing- it is not required to take Aromasin daily in order for it to be effective, or to “keep blood levels steady.” That’s a falsehood. Despite its 24 hr halflife, Aromasin actually produces its highest estrogen suppression 2-3 days after being administered. Taking it every other day is fine, and will produce just as good of a result as taking it daily.
3. There is actually one really good reason to prefer Aromasin over other AIs. After discontinuing use of Aromasin, it does not cause estrogen levels in the body to rise to supraphysiological levels, sometimes referred to as estrogen rebound. This estrogen rebound is common after stopping Arimidex and Letrozole, but does not happen after stopping Aromasin. This, IMHO, is the main reason to prefer Aromasin over other AIs.
Here’s a link to the info on suppression timing.
