Destroy Estrogen And Maximize Testosterone Production!

You ever hear of the saying, "You wanna play, you gotta pay?" Well, the human body loves to live by this little quote much of the time, especially when it comes to the world of bodybuilding supplementation and pharmacology. In our quest to become "incredible hulks" and walking anatomy charts, we push the limits when it comes to the training methods we employ, the tonnage of nutrients we consume, and the pills, powders, and potions we "pop." But for every action we take upon our body, there is always an unavoidable reaction that takes place...and it's not always a desirable one!

Case in point...many bodybuilders have utilized either prohormones or steroids, or both, to turbo-charge their body's muscle-building machinery. At first, everything is sheer bliss, as the body willingly accepts this tidal wave of testosterone or testosterone-like substances, giving you the benefit of the doubt that this will not last long, and that soon hormonal homeostasis will once again rule in the internal endocrinological environment! Sounds reasonable enough...but when was the last time you met a reasonable hardcore bodybuilder?

• Destroy Estrogen
• Dramatically increase Testosterone production
• Inhibit fat accumulation
• Fuel your sex drive
• Reduce cholesterol

No hypertrophy-hysterical iron freak is only taking prohormones or steroids for a week or two! Hell no! To put on serious amounts of lean tissue you have to stay "on" for 4, 6, 10, even 12 weeks... or more! And guess what my iron addicted friends? Therein lies the problem...After a period of time, the body catches on to your little "game" and kicks into it's, "You wanna play, you gotta pay," mode. Remember I mentioned that for every action you take upon your body, there will be a reaction? Well, like an ex-girlfriend, your body does remember all the things you ever did even if you don't want to!

Reaction #1: "From Testo to Estro!"

Just like your own natural testosterone and other normal muscle building androgens your body makes, many of the most powerful and growth-producing steroids and prohormones that bodybuilders and athletes take fall prey to a mischievous little enzymes called aromatase. It is the job of aromatase to bind to testosterone and certain testosterone-like compounds and turn them into a hormone more closely associated with big breasts than big pecs...ESTROGEN! While small amounts of estrogen are quite necessary and actually beneficial to men, larger amounts can lead to such undesirable effects as gynecomastia, or the growth of breast tissue, water retention, increases in body fat, and the uncontrollable desire to shop, cry, or paint the bathroom pink! Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating "a bit", but you get the point. Destroy the estrogen and you destroy fat production and that watery look while increasing muscle building testosterone. Like any performance oriented athlete, we as bodybuilders are looking to be as big and ripped as humanly possible. This means we certainly do not want too much girlie estrogen running through our veins!

In fact, you would probably be surprised how many women that just cannot seem to lose much bodyfat unless they get their estrogen under control. Ask any women using oral birth control how much harder it is to lose those irritating pounds of new fat that came with that prescription!

Reaction #2: "The HPTA Don't Wanna Play!"

The HPTA, or Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis, is what the body uses to control levels of natural testosterone in the blood. Just as a thermostat is able to sense and adjust the temperature, the HPTA will adjust natural testosterone production according to the levels of androgens and estrogen in the blood. However, the truth is that estrogen itself has the most drastic effect upon natural androgen levels...and it definitely is not a good one. We want more, not less testosterone. After all, we are men!

When an athlete takes steroids or prohormones, the body will have no need to produce any more testosterone of it's own, and the HPTA will basically shut down! "So what... if I'm taking steroids or prohormones I don't need any natural testosterone...right?" WRONG! Once your cycle is over, you will no longer be providing your body with it's little "androgen fix," and at the same time you probably already have elevated estrogen levels! Add on top of this that your HPTA is temporarily "on vacation" and you are gonna need more than Rolaids to spell relief my friend, cause you now have the hormonal profile of your little sister! But before you start playing with Barbies, read on because help is on the way...

Restore Order in Your Manly Kingdom...

What if I told you that there is a way for YOU to react to the negative actions your body has taken? A way to keep those nasty aromatase enzymes at bay, thus keeping estrogen levels down and the HPTA from "quitting it's day job!" That would be music to your ears, right? Well, start humming along as ALRI is proud to introduce Aromax, one of the most powerful all natural estrogen crippling, testosterone enhancing compounds on earth! And it is totally without any direct prohormonal or hormonal activity.

Aromax contains 4-androstene- 3,6,17-trione (A.K.A. delta-4-10, 13-dimethyl-cyclopenta[a]phenantrene-3,6,17-trione)...and this is all wrapped up in an advanced delivery system to make sure you receive 100% of the benefits that this amazing compound has to offer.

Aromax is what is known as a suicide inhibitor of aromatase, meaning that it binds to the aromatase enzyme in a permanent and irreversible manner, thus deactivating it! In other words, if Aromax is bound to aromatase, then aromatase cannot bind with testosterone. This means there will be far less estrogen synthesis, and a lot more muscle-building androgens left active in your bloodstream. And if that isn't cool enough, Aromax also up-regulates the HPTA! You see, because Aromax acts to inhibit aromatase from converting testosterone to estrogen, the body will actually signal the hypothalamus to significantly increase testosterone production further. How much?

One study showed an average increase in total testosterone of 188% and free testosterone of 226%! Yup, more than twice the normal amount of testosterone circulating through your blood and muscles means that your testosterone-to-estrogen ratio improves radically in your favor! Can this stuff get any better? Yes...

Oh, I know what you are thinking, "Why has ALRI come out with more than one anti-aromatase product?" I mean, ALRI already introduced their amazing anti-estrogen/anti-catabolic-fat burning sterile oral goodie called IMPACT. Well. For those of you who know Author L. Rea, you know he is the master of Action/Reaction Factor manipulation. And the fact is, you just can't argue when something works!

Simple but Important: Remember that I told you that the body has a nasty way of adapting to our intended positive muscle building actions with its own nasty reactions? Well, one problem is that the body adjusts to any anti-aromatase inhibitor (even IMPACT, eventually). This appears likely done so by producing different but just as nasty aromatase isoforms and/or by utilizing alternate gene exons and promoters. Without a long lesson in gene information transcription this just means that there is more than one aromatase issue going on in our bodies...and that is why even the most powerful prescription drugs meant to control the aromatase enzymes like Arimidex start to fail after about 4 weeks. What does an athlete do after or before IMPACT? Aromax, of course.

The "Max" in Aromax™...

ALRI was not satisfied with your everyday 4-androstene-3, 6, 17-trione formula, and thus added some extra "goodies" to allow for absolute maximum delivery and absorption of the molecule... because a supplement is only as good as how much actually makes it into circulation.

6, 7-Dihydroxybegamottin and Naringen are both natural flavonoids found in grapefruit. Clinical studies have shown that they both have the ability to increase uptake of medications and nutrients into the bloodstream. They accomplish this by suppressing the Cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP 3A4, found in the wall of the intestine, which decreases first pass metabolism of nutrients and drugs, thereby increasing serum concentrations of whatever they are used in conjunction with.

Bioperine is a pure piperine extract obtained from black pepper fruits, and it is categorized as thermogenic nutrient. While we all are quite aware of the role of thermalgenesis in fat loss, many do not know the integral role that it plays in our body's ability to properly utilize the foods and nutrients we take in. Bioperine sets in motion the mechanisms that lead to digestion and absorption, and provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood. (Uh, like Aromax)

Consider Aromax™ "Turbocharged"!

So there you have it...another breakthrough formula from ALRI, meant to help you in your never-ending quest for physical perfection and the ability to have specific supplementation for specific intent. After all, it is your body and you want to design it your way.

Aromax will cripple your body's ability to synthesize estrogen, enhance testosterone production, and keep your hormonal "environment" in optimal muscle-building/fat burning order.

Many have reported using Aromax during a cycle where aromatizable steroids or prohormones are utilized, and/or after a cycle to restore the HPTA. And of course Aromax is a positive alternative to steroid and prohormone use as a means of increasing muscle-building testosterone naturally.

Aromax has taken the world of physique enhancement to yet another level for both men and women!
