(Tamoxifen Citrate)Nolvadex is not a steroid it is an anti-estrogen. it is
a nonsteroidal agent which demonstrates potent anti-estrogenic properties. These
anti-estrogenic effects are due to its ability to compete with estrogen for
binding sites in target tissues such as in the breast. Medically, the affects of
this drug make it very usefull in breast cancer patients.
Male bodybuilders however find this drug very affective in combating
Gynocomastia (female breast tissue development) Gynocomastia is caused by excess
estrogen in the male body. In the steroid user, this happens when anabolic
steroids aromatize into Estrogens. This is not as odd as you may think.
structurally these hormones are very similar. So with Nolvadex competing for any
occupying estrogen receptors, the build up of tissue is greatly reduced and
often avoided. Some believe Estrogen plays a role in keeping androgen receptors
open. This may explain why Nolvadex would slightly hinder gains. Regardless of
this effect Nolvadex is the most popular anti-estrogen used by athletes and many
swear by it. You should take into account that many athletes find no need for
Nolvadex While others absolutely need it to avoid a gyno problem.
You should be aware of how much you actually need of an ancillary drug like
this before commiting to use it during a steroid cycle. Should it be needed,
Nolvadex is very popular. Suggested dosage 2 x 20mg tablets a day with meals on
a 2 week course is the standard period. Though the last 2 weeks of a steroid
cycle and the 2 weeks after will be more beneficial.
