Nolva and Creatine

[BionicBC]

I was wondering, when one is on an AAS cyce, smaller doses of nolva are sometimes taken, as we all know, to help reduce bloating caused by water retention. Which brings up my question. Creatines main method of adding mass is water retention in the muscles-therfore, does nolva negate or lessen the effects of creatine if the two are taken together?

Nolvadex is used to reduce excess estrogen. Too much estrogen can lead to water retention and fat storage (among other things). The water retained is mainly stored underneath the skin, giving a "puffy" appearance. Taking Nolvadex will help eliminate the retained water IF it is estrogen related.

Creatine, as you mentioned, forces water into the muscles, not unerneath the skin. Also, the water "retained" by using ceatine is not estrogen related.

Using Nolvadex while using creatine should not result in a loss of effectiveness.

nolvadex does not reduce estrogen levels it deactivates the estogen receptors in the bvreast (NIPPLE)AND THE pituitary gland if you want to reduce estro levels you need and anti aromatose like letrozole or arimidex and aromasin they stop the conversion of testosterone to estrogen as far as taking nolva to reduce the bloat from creatine is just a waste nolva is also know to suppress igf-1 which can be counterproductive water retention from creatine is caused by a different stimulus than estorgen induced bloat hope this hellps ya bro if my info is incorrect please correct me

I think the original intent of the question was, should you shelve the creatine while
using nolvadex.

Creatine keeps the muscles hydrated and fuller so to speak and nolva helps control,
potential estrogen problems and tends to take any water bloat.
