Nolvadex not only raises testosterone levels, but also saves your heart.

[Bouncer]

Chemical athletes who use the anti-oestrogen nolvadex may also be making their blood vessels more healthy, and reducing their risk of a fatal heart attack. We deduce this from a trial done by researchers in Cambridge, England that was published eight years ago in Circulation.

The active ingredient in preparations like nolvadex is tamoxifen [structure shown here]. Nolvadex is a SERM: a compound that is capable of attaching itself to the receptor for the female sex hormone estradiol. What’s more, nolvadex is an anti-oestrogen. The compound forces estradiol off its receptor, thereby preventing estradiol from doing its work. Nolvadex then sits in the estradiol receptor a bit like a key that has broken off in a lock. No other key can be put in the lock, but the door won’t open either. Athletes use nolvadex to counter the side effects of oestrogens, which are produced when testosterone is converted into estradiol. Nolvadex is also used after taking a course of steroids to boost the body’s own testosterone production.

In the British study, 30 men with furred up arteries were given 40 mg of nolvadex every day for 56 days. The researchers wanted to know more about the effect of nolvadex on the heart and the blood vessels. Estradiol has good and bad effects on the heart and arteries. It increases the amount of ‘good cholesterol’ HDL, which is positive. But it also causes blood clots, which is not such good news.

The men’s testosterone levels rose, and their estradiol levels rose too. Apparently the conversion of testosterone into estradiol simply continued.

Most effects are favourable. Lipoprotein (a) is a building block of the ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol. The more of this you have in your blood, the more worried the cardiologists get. The lower the amount of triglycerides and LDL in your blood, the better. They both have an adverse effect on the HDL.

All in all, the researchers were pleasantly surprised by the results of their research. "The data provide strong evidence to support clinical evaluation of SERMs for the treatment of men with CAD", they write in the last sentence of their article.

So would you see anabolic effects from taking Nolvadex?

it stands to reason so. it raises base line test levels a great deal.

I always heard Nolvadex tears up your liver, are we saying the contrary? I wonder how long your test level stay raised?

where did you ever hear nolvadex tears up your liver? i would imagine it stays raised as long as you are running nolv. its also very good for your cholesterol.

Just reading shit online, it said those drugs are made as a last resort for females with breast cancer and they are bad for your body and that is why they are used as a last resort. I know you need to filter things online, just new this was a good place to get the correct answer so I threw it out there.

nolvadex is a very safe drug. its not a last resort at all. they put women at risk on nolv for years and years.

that is false bro , on the contrary nolva has many benefits !! one drawback though it will counter act gh -- so gh and nolva not a good combo

i have never heard that. got any links?

will see what i can dig up B , nolvadex primary goal is to stop a tumors growth . a tumors growth rate can be excelerated by ones gh levels so nolva is used to combat that -

could be way off on this but was taught this years ago -- let me do some digging

Nolvadex Side Effects
Unfortunately, Nolvadex isn´t perfect. Anecdotally, it has been linked to reduced gains in some bodybuilders. This isn´t due, as previously thought, to its reducing estrogen levels (which it doesn´t), but rather to it´s ability to possibly reduce IGF (Insulin-like-Growth-Factor) levels, which are important for muscle growth.


we take gh to increase igf levels

lol. i think you a little off bro. :P

nolva works by bonding to the estrogen receptor in breast tissue. breast cancer tumors are accelerated by estrogen. by blocking the estrogen receptor the tumor is not "fed" by estrogen and thus is doesn't grow. its all about estrogen bro, nothing to do with HGH.

Most lifters assume Nolvadex is a pure estrogen antagonist (which would mean it prevents estrogens from acting on their receptors). As far as bodybuilding is concerned, this assumption is very wrong as Nolvadex is both an estrogen receptor agonist and an antagonist. It all depends upon the tissues. Along with the nipples, on which Nolvadex acts mainly as an antagonist, we are also interested by its behaviour on skeletal muscles, on the liver and on the fat cells.

Nolvadex has been shown to behave as estrogens in skeletal muscles (5). This is a very good thing for every athletes except bodybuilders. You see, estrogens protect muscle cells from the training-induced damages (5-6). It means that one can train more without damaging his muscles. Recovery will also be much faster. But for bodybuilders, the training-induced damages are a key ingredient to trigger growth. Nolvadex will therefore reduce the muscle building effects of resistance training.

As for the impact of Tamoxifen on IGF-1, it simply demonstrates another estrogen-like action of Nolvadex. By rendering the liver less sensitive to growth hormone (probably by reducing the liver density of GH receptors), estrogens and tamoxifen diminish the production of IGF-1. This action of estrogens explains why women produce less IGF-1 than men even though the have a higher GH level.
