For users of anabolic steroids there is a systematic process to their use and typically it revolves around “cycles”. A cycle can typically last between six and twelve weeks, and is used to maximize the effect of particular steroids that must be used in a certain order to experience results like muscle gains, et cetera. Avid steroid users and researchers alike have found that the body experiences many changes after a cycle ends and the body resumes normal functions.

One of the biggest adjustments or changes the body undergoes after ending an anabolic steroid cycle is the plummeting levels of testosterone in men. This among other changes can lead to serious health problems if steps are not taken to prevent such effects. This is why PCT or (Post Cycle Therapy) has been an emerging science and treatment field for consistent users of anabolic steroids. One treatment designed at doing exactly that is Nolvadex made by AstraZeneca. Nolvadex can help return the body to normal testosterone levels after cycling with anabolic steroids.
Nolvadex is a proprietary name for the drug Tamoxifen Citrate. Tamoxifen Citrate is classified as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) type drug. The drug was originally formulated as a viable treatment for breast cancer in both men and women. The drug essentially disrupts estrogen production in the body, and by halting it will help keep testosterone levels down. Estrogen levels can skyrocket after the completion of a anabolic steroid cycle, so that is why Tamoxifen Citrate is particularly effective in curbing this side effect of cycling. Some of the other SERM drugs used as a PCT are Torem-fareston, or Clomid. Nolvadex is unique in its functionality and works differently than aromatase inhibitors, which can completely halt the body’s production of estrogen, which in turn can have serious consequences.
Nolvadex simply minimizes the over-production of estrogen when levels are far above normal, and this keeps estrogen at safe and normal levels, not above or below. This is important to keep normal levels of estrogen, as it is instrumental in the synthesis of proteins and the body’s metabolic function. So both too little and too much estrogen can have adverse effects on the body, but it is specifically the excess estrogen that commonly affects anabolic steroid users who do not undergo post cycle therapy in a proper manner, or at all. One of the most common symptoms of excess estrogen production in the body is “gyno” or (gynecomastia) which the swelling of breasts in men due to the imbalance of hormones. Another less serious but equally frustrating side effect of excess estrogen production is the higher rate of water retention in the body.
This is an unwanted effect among the body building community, which composes much of the anabolic steroid using population. Even more, there are some potentially deadly and dangerous side effects of sustained high levels of estrogen in men, such as the development of prostate disease, cardiovascular problems, or stroke. High levels of estrogen can even reduce bone mineral density, which is dangerous, and makes one more vulnerable to fracturing bones. Nolvadex has other benefits as a PCT drug including the fact that it in no way interferes with luteinizing hormone (LH). LH normally is an encouragement to the testicles to produce testosterone. Consequently, since Nolvadex does not interfere with the body’s normal production of LH, it can help the body regain its balance of hormones after one has cycled with anabolic steroids or prohormones.
Nolvadex also can even keep the body from testicular shrinkage as a result of cycling. So in order for a consistent anabolic steroid user who practices cycling to consider their PCT seriously, a drug like Nolvadex should be of their primary focus. Nolvadex can be the most essential part of PCT for many users. The use of Nolvadex is very important, and they way users ease into the PCT drug can greatly affect the results of it. Nolvadex is an orally ingested drug and should be used differently for the types of steroids one is using.
For users of oral anabolic steroids Nolvadex can be taken right after the cycle is complete, but it is recommended for injected steroids that Nolvadex be taken 4-y days after the last injection on that cycle. During PCT it is directed that Nolvadex is taken daily, and in decreasing amounts from 20mg daily in the first two weeks, to 10 milligrams daily in the next two weeks.
