Anti-estrogens - Nolvadex

This drug is used and designed as a first line defense against breast cancer and is used by bodybuilders to halt the development of another type of tumor in the mammary gland - gynocomastia. Nolvadex is not only the most potent ancillary compound we can use on a cycle, but it is probably the safest considering it doesn’t actually reduce estrogen in your body. Keeping some estrogen floating around could have many benefits on muscle growth, as well. Estrogen is also important for a properly functioning immune system, and not only that, but your lipid profile should also show marked improvement with administration of tamoxifen. Many bodybuilders actually use this stuff during their cycle for the health benefits provided by it. If, however, you are preparing for a bodybuilding contest, you need to use something which will suck most (if not all) of the estrogen out of your body.

It is important to understand that Nolvadex does not prevent the aromatization but only acts as an estrogen antagonist. This means that it does not prevent testosterone and its synthetic derivatives (steroids) from converting into estrogens but only fights with them in a sort of "competition" for the estrogen receptors.

Nolvadex is also useful during a diet since it helps in the burning of fat. Although Nolvadex has no direct fatburning effect its antiestrogenic effect contributes to keeping the estrogen level as low as possible. Nolvadex should especially be taken together with the strong an-drogenic steroids Dianabol and Anadrol 50, and the various testosterone compounds.
