In its function as an anti-estrogen breast cancer treatment drug, Nolvadex targets the breast tissue and this means it’s highly useful for the prevention of dreaded gynecomastia in male anabolic steroid users. Because estrogen can cause cancer to progress in the breast area, when Nolvadex binds to estrogen receptors in this part of the body, it effectively halts the action of estrogen there. This is exactly what we need to be also happening to stop gynecomastia occurring as an estrogen related side effects of many anabolic steroids. Nolvadex has proven effective at this task which is why it’s so popularly used alongside steroids and after a steroid cycle. On cycle use of Nolvadex to protect against male breast enlargement is an established anabolic steroid user protocol. This drug works well for many people using it for this purpose, but not everyone will have the same positive results.
Using steroids which are powerfully aromatizing or being particularly sensitive to gyno can mean that Nolvadex won’t be enough to stop you experiencing gyno as a steroid side effect; in these cases you might need to turn to aromatase inhibitor drugs instead. Nolvadex Dosage During Anabolic Steroid Use The primary, and for most of us the only reason to use Nolvadex during a steroid cycle is to protect against male breast tissue enlargement – a.k.a gynecomastia. Any anabolic steroids you are taking which have aromatizing properties will need gyno to be addressed and Nolvadex provides a cheap, simple and safe way to do that. It only takes a low dosage of 10mg to 20mg of Nolvadex to protect against gyno as it works to bind to receptors in the breast tissue so that estrogen can’t exert its effects here. If you find that the aromatizing effect of the steroids you’re taking are too powerful for Nolvadex to be effective at this dosage then aromatase inhibitor drugs will likely be required instead. While Nolvadex used on cycle is important for controlling gyno, it will not have a positive effect on testosterone when it’s up against the powerful testosterone suppressing effects of most anabolic steroids and it’s only during PCT that Nolvadex is utilized for the purpose of boosting testosterone function.
