Nolvadex – 20 mg / 30 tabs

What Is Nolvadex?

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) originally developed for medical use, but widely adopted in performance contexts for post-cycle hormone recovery.

In SARMs use, Nolvadex does not block estrogen production. Instead, it blocks estrogen signaling at the hypothalamus and pituitary, which triggers your body to restart natural testosterone production (LH and FSH).

In simple terms: Nolvadex tells your body to turn testosterone back on.

Why Nolvadex Is Used After SARMs

Many SARMs suppress testosterone by replacing the androgen signal, causing the brain to reduce or stop LH/FSH output. Nolvadex is used after SARMs to:

• Restart endogenous testosterone production
• Prevent prolonged low-T symptoms
• Preserve lean muscle and strength gained on cycle
• Normalize estrogen-to-testosterone balance

This is not steroid PCT logic — it’s about recovery from receptor-level suppression, not exogenous testosterone replacement.

Which SARMs 100% Require PCT

These compounds are consistently suppressive and always require PCT:

• RAD-140 (Testolone)
• LGD-4033 (Ligandrol)
• LGD-3033 (Ligamax)
• YK-11
• S4 (Andarine) at moderate to high doses
• Multi-SARM stacks involving the above

If one of these was part of your cycle, Nolvadex is mandatory.

Which SARMs May Require Nolvadex (Dose-Dependent)

These SARMs can cause mild to moderate suppression, depending on dose, duration, and stacking:

• MK-2866 (Ostarine)
• ACP-105

At:

• higher doses;
• longer cycles;
• or when stacked.

Nolvadex is strongly recommended, even if symptoms feel “mild.”

Bloodwork should decide — not how you feel.

Which Compounds Do NOT Require PCT

These compounds are non-hormonal and do not suppress testosterone:

• MK-677 (Ibutamoren)
• GW-501516 (Cardarine)
• GW-0742 (Super Cardarine)
• SR-9009 (Stenabolic)

When used alone, Nolvadex is not needed. However, if these are stacked with suppressive SARMs, PCT is determined by the suppressive compound — not the non-hormonal one.

How Nolvadex Works After a Suppressive SARM Cycle

After stopping SARMs, testosterone is often low while estrogen remains normal, creating a hormonal imbalance.

Nolvadex works by:

• Blocking estrogen feedback at the brain
• Increasing LH and FSH release
• Restarting testicular testosterone production
• Reducing estrogen-dominant symptoms

This accelerates recovery and prevents the “crash” that causes strength loss, fatigue, and libido suppression.

Nolvadex PCT Protocol for SARMs Cycles

A common SARMs-specific approach:

• Weeks 1-2: 20 mg/day
• Weeks 3-4: 10 mg/day

Heavier cycles (RAD-140, YK-11, multi-compound stacks) may require 6 weeks total.
