Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that works by binding to the estrogen receptors in the body, thereby preventing estrogen from binding to these receptors. This reduces the risk of estrogen-related side effects, such as gynecomastia and water retention.
Tamoxifen has been extensively studied and is proven to be effective in preventing gynecomastia in bodybuilders. It is also a popular choice for managing estrogen levels during post-cycle therapy (PCT) after a cycle of anabolic steroids.
When it comes to dosage, the optimal daily dose of tamoxifen for bodybuilders varies depending on the individual’s needs and cycle. However, a typical starting dose is 10-20mg per day, which can be increased to 40mg per day if needed. It is important to note that tamoxifen can have side effects, such as hot flashes and nausea, but these are generally mild and well-tolerated.
