Tamoxifen Citrate, commonly known as Nolvadex, is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used primarily in the medical field to treat and prevent hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. In the bodybuilding community, it is widely used during post-cycle therapy (PCT) to help restore natural testosterone production and prevent estrogenic side effects after anabolic steroid use.
Mechanism of Action
Tamoxifen works by binding to estrogen receptors, blocking the effects of estrogen in certain tissues. This helps prevent estrogen-related side effects such as gynecomastia during and after steroid cycles. Additionally, it stimulates the release of gonadotropins, which can help restore natural testosterone production.
