All test are on rats or post menapausal women, hopefully the results caryy over to aas using men and healthy women. Google "tamoxifen effects on blood lipids" for more studies
In my opinion nova got a rep for lowering gains because on drugs such as test it will reduce bloat and the total amount of weight you will gain. I have never experienced what I percieved as a reduction in strength gains. So, if there were infact any, they were not great enough to exclude the nolva from a cycle. I would galdly give up a 10lb increase in my bench in exchange for a more healthy lipid profile.
