Thanks guys.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
I did see some results from Epi but my joints were screaming by the end. This was also with a test base so I believe the E2 lowering effect was very strong in my case. This alone will prevent me from running it again. I know everyone reacts differently but Epi is not for me.
Epi should not be considered treatment, preventative or cure to anything estrogen related.
OP - you could also consider H-Drol with the right diet if wanting a change from Epi perhaps.
I didn't get much from Epi except dry joints. Although Mechabol is more suited to bulking, you can cut on it, and it feels great. There are some Mechabol clones out there, but get Antaeus if you still can.

Consider me schooled, I put out some bad bro-lore. Epi has never been reported as an AI, it's been touted as an "anti-estrogen" more specifically it antagonizes estrogen in breast tissue. From what I gather these assertions are based on studies of the non-methylated parent compound 2α,3α-epithio-5a-androstan-17β-ol. The Japanese studied it in the 70's as an anti-gyno drug and anti-breast cancer drug and said it had utility as both.
Here's one of the originial gyno studies.
2α 3α-Epithio-5α-androstan-17β-ol in Treatment of Gynecomastia
The epi sold as a dietary supplement has the addition of a 17a methyl group.
While we all know that this 17a methyl group addition increases oral bioavailability, we don't know empirically what other effects, if any, it may have. So it would be irresponsible to say it would have the same effects as Epitiostanol, even if this seems very likely.
Ancedotal reports (I.E. bro-lore) state that Epi is affective for some users in reducing Gyno pain and occasionally size.
So once again sorry for the bad info, I'm going to edit the original post so as to avoid propigating garbage info.
