Proviron is not an aromatase blocker to the same degree of something like arimidex or letrozole. IMO and personal experience, it does a very poor job of reducing estrogen unless you're taking at least 100mg's/day. Contrast the effectiveness of that with something like arimidex which needs only .25mg/day to be effective.

Also, remember proviron is an oral alkylated steroid. Actually it's DHT with a 1-methyl. So while not as bad as taking 2 17aa steroids, taking proviron and another oral steroid will cause additional stress to the liver. Be liberal in your use of milk thistle and liv52.
