Why do we need antiestrogen? Antiestrogens are the best friends of bodybuilders who use androgenic-anabolic steroids in their classes. And that's why. We all know that on a course of steroids, the body stops producing its own hormone testosterone. This happens because the need simply disappears – so much comes from outside it, so why waste the resources of the body once again? Thus, the activity of the "pituitary-hypothalamus-testicles" arc begins to rapidly subside. And the longer the course lasts, the larger the dosage, the “heavier” the drugs, the stronger this very arc “stalls”. By the way, the degree of its "killedness" after the course also depends on the balance of such hormones as estradiol, prolactin and progesterone. If the level of at least one of these hormones is above the reference values, the arc will fall asleep much faster and deeper. That is why it is so important to closely monitor the level of these hormones on the course, take tests, and have prolactin and estradiol inhibitors on hand. Accordingly, the deeper the “pituitary-hypothalamus-testes” arc plunges into sleep, the longer it will have to be woken up and the more effort will have to be made after the course in order to normalize the production of one’s own testosterone. And the faster you restore your own testosterone levels, the better you will look after the course, the faster the loss of muscle mass and strength will stop. This is where antiestrogens come to our rescue. These are: clomiphene citrate (Clomid), tamoxifen citrate and tormifene citrate.We will not talk about the last two, the second one should generally be excluded from this list, since it is the most “dirty”, and often you can get more minuses than pluses from restoring with tamoxifen. For all athletes involved in bodybuilding, the use of Clomid is recommended. Relative to other antiestrogens, it is expensive, but definitely the highest quality and most effective. And saving on health is the last thing. The principle of Clomid, its role in PCT You can often see how athletes on post-cycle therapy use various dietary supplements in order to restore their own testosterone production. Herbal tinctures, tribulus, and other, sorry for the expression, rubbish. This is not true. After a course of AAS, the body is in a deep hormonal hole due to the fact that the levels of luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones are equal to zero. These are gonadotropic hormones, the amount of which determines the level of testosterone in the blood. Clomid directly affects the level of LH and FSH. In addition, it attaches to estrogen receptors, so there will be a lot of estrogen, judging by the blood test, but most of it will simply be inactive. In the very first days of taking Clomid after the course, LH and FSH levels soar to the upper maximum values, very quickly raising the level of testosterone. Thus, literally in a few weeks (2-6) we get a completely normal testosterone level, while the levels of LH and FSH after discontinuation of the drug will return to their previous normal values. As for the number of weeks – everything is individual. Someone will recover in 2 weeks, someone needs 2 months. Depends, again, on what the course was.How to take Clomid on PCT after the course: Clomiphene citrate dosages are determined depending on the severity of the course. The more drugs were involved, the higher the dosages, and the more powerful these drugs were, the longer the recovery time will be, and the more Clomid will be needed. In general, the scheme can be described as follows: Very difficult course – 3*150/12*100/15*50/15*25 Heavy course – 15*100/15*50/15*25 Average course – 30*50/15* 25 Easy course -15*50/15*25/15*25 (once every 2 days) Very easy course – 15*50/15*25 *Note – the first digit is the number of days, the second digit after the asterisk is the dosage of clomiphene. For example, 15 * 50 / 15 * 25, means that you first need to take 50 mg of Clomid for 15 days, and then for the next 15 days – 25 mg each. Reviews of Clomid in bodybuilding: There are no negative reviews about the use of Clomid in bodybuilding. It is not surprising, since the drug has no side effects (at least not observed). Clomiphene citrate helps athletes recover quickly and suffer minimal losses after a course of steroids.
