- Strong human Anastrozole (Arimidex) Anastrozole is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor — a prescription breast-cancer drug, not a peptide — with strong trial evidence in postmenopausal women and a separate, unstudied off-label use by men to suppress estrogen. It is banned in sport at all times.
- Strong human Exemestane (Aromasin) Exemestane is an oral, steroidal third-generation aromatase inhibitor — an FDA-approved breast-cancer drug, not a peptide. Bodybuilders use it off-label to suppress estrogen, an unapproved and unstudied practice that is banned in sport (WADA S4) and can be genuinely harmful when estrogen is crashed.
- Strong human Letrozole (Femara) Letrozole is an oral, nonsteroidal third-generation aromatase inhibitor — an FDA-approved breast-cancer and (off-label) fertility drug, not a peptide. Bodybuilders use it off-label to suppress estrogen, an unapproved and unstudied practice that is banned in sport (WADA S4) and can be genuinely harmful when estrogen is crashed.
