Nolva vs. Arimedex!

[Anthony Starks]

So Nolva and Femera have no place in PCT unless your estrogen levels are elevated due to improper management during your cycle? Or only Femera? If only Femera, what does Nolvadex do that Femera does not? Thanks again for your knowledge Jenetic.

I just explained your questions in my previous post.

Can you dumb it down for a slow meathead like myself? I think what you are saying is that Nolva is better because it does not suppress estrogen production, just the binding. Is that it? Also, kind of unrelated, but what are your feelings on Clomid post cycle? In one of the stickies on here is suggests to use Nolva INSTEAD of Clomid during PCT, do you concur?

 

[Jenetic]

Since you want your estrogen levels to return to normal as well, nolvadex is a much better choice. Decreased HDL (good cholesterol) is directly associated with low estrogen. Also, nolvadex stimulates lutenizing hormone (LH) secretion which in turn increases natural testosterone production. Nolvadex is prefered over clomid in general.

Sorry for all these questions, but I'm sure you are helping out a lot of bros too that are reading this. I have a few more, please bear with me:

1) Post cycle, would you recommend Nolva or Clomid and Nolva? Its no problem for me to get both, but I'd prefer to avoid Clomid due to acne if possible.

2) If Nolva and Clomid work so similarly, why does Clomid tend to cause acne while Nolva tends to not?

3) Is the sticky dose correct for Nolva PCT?

Basic Nolvadex PCT:
Days 1 to 14: 40mg ED
Days 15 to 30: 20mg ED

Thank you Don.

1. I just told you nolvadex is preferred

2. Like you said, similar, which mean not exactly the same.

3. 20 mgs Nolvadex ED for 5-6 weeks in combination with HCG. Clomid is only added during heavy/prolonged cycles. The HCG and Nolvadex combination is suitable for most cases.

Thanks Jenetic, I know you get told this a lot, but you are a huge asset to the board.

Jenetic, you are my favourite poster on the board, you actually come out with stuff that is technical, yet understandable.!

A lot of guys on here say that Arimidex hinders gains from Test???
How does this work and is is a significant loss as I bloat terribly on Test and am on .5mg ED to combat it, I'd like to go 1mg ED but don't want to harm gains..I am taking 10mg Nolva ED too.

Thanks!

0.5 is enough to prevent the onset of gyno. 1 mg is definitely preferred. There is so much paranoia due to misinterperted information. The theory behind this is that you don't want to decrease estrogen too low. Estrogen has a positive impact on HDL and IGF-1. I really wish Arimidex worked that well but that's not the case. The maximum reduction from 1 mg ED is approximately 60%. Keep in mind maximum. A single 200 mg testosterone injection will increase serum concentrations well above the high normal range. By now you can see that it's really not a problem.

Thanks Jenetic, Karma your way, I read that is was 96% or maybe that was in women.

You've helped me fit into my shirts again lol
