Product Description
Tamoxifen, or
Nolvadex, is a non-steroidal anti-estrogen tablet containing tamoxifen citrate,
which mainly functions as an anti-cancer drug. It was originally created
to treat certain forms of female infertility in 1961. Later he began to
prescribe for the treatment of cancer in women.
This is a very popular selective estrogen receptor
modulator, or SERM for short. Another well-known among bodybuilders drug
of this group - Clomid.
Since Tamoxifen is anti-estrogenic, bodybuilders
and athletes use the drug to avoid the side effects of estrogen, such as
gynecomastia or water retention. These unwanted moments usually occur at
the end of the steroid cycle. Thus, Tamoxifen is needed for:
- Supplements to
the course with anabolic steroids to improve muscle mass, strength and
athletic performance, as well as to prevent gynecomastia, reduce
cholesterol.- Post-cycle therapy (PCT), namely to block the action of estrogen, stimulate the
production of GnRH and increase testosterone levels.- Burning fat
before the competition.
Principle of action of tamoxifen
During PCT, bodybuilders use Tamoxifen for two purposes: to
restore the production of their own testosterone and allow the body to maintain
homeostasis. Thus, the drug contributes to the release of luteinizing and
follicle-stimulating hormone, which stimulates the production of
testosterone.
An important point. Tamoxifen acts as an antagonist
and estrogen agonist. It blocks, rather than as is commonly believed,
reduces the level of the hormone estrogen in those tissues where it is an
antagonist. The drug does not allow estrogen to exert its effect in the
cells of the breast. That is, here it acts as an
anti-estrogen.
Tamoxifen also acts as an agonist. That is, manifests
itself as an estrogen, for example, in the liver. In this case, the drug
can increase the level of the sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which blocks
the action of both estrogen and testosterone. This means that the level of
testosterone in the body decreases, and in the place with it the potential of
muscle growth, strength. In addition, bodybuilders may experience a
decrease in libido.
Another negative effect of tamoxifen in the liver is its
ability to inhibit the production of peptide hormone IGF-1, which makes a great
contribution to the process of building a better physique.
It is known that the action of estrogen in the liver is
very important for the regulation of cholesterol in the blood. In
particular, by increasing the amount of “good” (HDL) and reducing the “bad”
(LDL) choleste
