NOLVADEX 20MG – 50 Tablets

Genetix Pharmaceuticals Nolvadex is the trade name for Tamoxifen Citrate. Nolvadex works very similarly to Clomid. It is an antagonist of the estrogen receptors to which it binds itself preventing active estrogen from binding in its place. Unlike aromatase inhibitors like Aromasin, Letro, Arimidex, which actually reduce the flow of estrogen in the body. Nolvadex merely blocks it from the receptor. This means there is a greater chance of estrogen rebound effect. In bodybuilding – in the late 1980s Dan Duchaine was the one that speculated Nolvadex could be used to help with gynecomastia. Since that time has become popular as an anti-gynecomastia treatment and for on cycle use in guys that are prone to gyno. Tamoxifen is actually on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines because of the many different uses it has. While it might seem like it could be considered an aromatase inhibitor, it is actually a SERM which is a selective estrogen receptor modulator.

There is evidence too that Nolvadex up regulates progestin receptors so this means if you run Tamoxifen along with a progestin such as any type of Nandrolone or Trenbolone you’re going to have a higher chance of developing progestin related side effects. To be on the safe side it is not recommended to mix them together, however that is really your call in the end.

The main medical use of Nolva is in the treatment of both early and advanced breast cancer in pre and post menopausal women. Also it is the most common treatment for male breast cancer, so the FDA has approved Nolvadex for the prevention of breast cancer in high-risk women with a recommended use at ten years. Studies have shown the chance of re-occurrence of cancer drops 66% and another use for Tamoxifen in women is for infertility. Studies have shown it possibly doubles the chance of pregnancy and recently Nolvadex has been used to treat bipolar disorder though the medical data on this is kind of still being investigated.

When gyno-prone anabolic steroid users run aromatizing compounds, things like Testosterone or D-bol that convert to estrogen, this can lead to puffy nipples, bloating, blood pressure increases, erectile dysfunction and other estrogen related sides. Nolvadex can prevent -some- estrogen related side-effects from occurring and it can hold the growth of gynecomastia, but in some cases using an AI is far more effective for overall estrogen control. In practice, Tamoxifen is best used to help boost your LH and total testosterone, and this will help you to recover from a cycle which makes it quite a popular choice for post cycle therapy. A clomifene-tamoxifen combination is definitely the backbone of any post cycle therapy – It’s not the whole thing but it is the backbone.

When somebody uses anabolic steroids, the pituitary realizes that again it is getting too much hormones, so it goes dormant and this sends your LH to near zero and the body no longer produces its own testosterone. In simple terms, your natural testosterone production just shuts down so when you come off a cycle it is important to run a post cycle therapy to help recover your body’s HBTA. Tamoxifen does not mimic the LH in the body like HCG rather it stimulates the hypothesis to release more gonadotropins. Gonadotropins are protein hormones that are secreted by ganadotrope cells of the pituitary gland and they stimulate faster and higher release of your FSH or your follicle stimulating hormone and your luteinizing hormone your LH.

When this happens the rise in LH is going to spike up the total testosterone levels allowing a smooth post cycle therapy. As a result, it is going to help you to minimize any losses and muscle gains until your own body is able to properly recover. Tamoxifen works just like Clomid does by stopping estrogen from going into the pituitary which manipulates it into producing LH in turn it then signals the Ladak cells to produce testosterone. Many users of Nolvadex have run blood work showing LH levels rise from zero to over 10 IU’s which is above the normal reference range for an adult male, and as a result of this your testosterone levels then go up. So it is important to remember these testosterone spikes are only temporary while you’re on it.

Once you come off they are going to normalize and and with the foreign hormones out of your body the user’s HPTA will be able to recover on its own. Milligram per milligram Nolva is actually a lot stronger than Clomid. They are similar in that they are both SERMs and simply prevent the estrogen from binding to receptors work and cause a problem. Neither are aromatase inhibitors. In terms of bodybuilding it is up to the user to decide which one they prefer through experience, but it is recommended to use both of them during PCT but for gynecomastia, Tamoxifen is definitely the superior choice. Some users swear by Nolvadex, others prefer Clomid.

Day 1: 100mg

Following 10 days: 60mg

Following 10 days: 40mg

This sample protocol can be adjusted to suit the dosages and duration of your own post cycle protocol. As said above, many users like to use both Nolva and Clomid post cycle to cover all angles. Recommended dose is 10 to 40 milligrams per day during a woman’s cycle.
