Nolvadex, known as Tamoxifen Citrate (or Nolva), is one of two popular Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) most commonly used by bodybuilders to counter the all too common estrogenic side effects that most aromatizing anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) can bring, such as gynecomastia (bitch tits) and hypertension (due to increased water retention).
SERMs work by binding to estrogen receptors and inhibiting aromatized estrogen (a byproduct from exogenous anabolic hormone administration) from binding to them and inducing its estrogenic side effects. Interestingly, Nolvadex also has the ability to act like estrogen in some parts of the body, like the liver, where the estrogenic activity has been found to improve cholesterol levels.
It is commonly used on cycle for this purpose, and to mitigate estrogenic side effects, and post cycle to help initiate the body’s natural production of testosterone, and help regulate the related hormones negatively affected by exogenous hormone administration. Nolvadex is more potent than Clomid, and is more effective at raising luteinizing hormone (LH) levels post cycle.
