Arimistane Overview
Arimistane is a steroidal aromatase inhibitor, designed to increase testosterone levels by blocking the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. It is commonly used alongside anabolic steroids to mitigate side effects such as gynecomastia, which can occur when excess testosterone is converted to estrogen. Regulatory agencies, including the U.S. FDA, warn against using dietary supplements containing aromatase inhibitors, citing potential adverse effects such as aggressive behavior, adrenal insufficiency, decreased bone maturation and growth, decreased sperm production, infertility, kidney failure, and liver dysfunction.
