Nolva or anastrozole for your estrogen inhibiting personal preference

[Thunder]

I guess I put this in the correct spot….
I’m looking to try nolva for the first time and would love to hear your experience with ,pros and cons, etc
I know noble is taken daily and anastrozle is taken 2-3 times a week depending on the person.
Thanks

Nolva will just stop sides in breast tissue I believe is a serm not ai

 

[Thunder]

I’m reading that it inhibits the conversion

Well that what google told me anyway

 

[Dirtnasty]

It doesn’t it just binds to the receptors in the breast

 

[Thunder]

Arimidex is a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor and tamoxifen is a nonsteroidal antiestrogen. Brand names for tamoxifen include Nolvadex and Soltamox, Nolvadex

I’m confused

 

[Dirtnasty]

Those are two different things ones an ai ones a serm. Adex does inhibit conversion

 

[NeuroRN]

Nolva doesn’t stop test conversion to estrogen. It just blocks it from binding to receptors. Nolva will not lower your estrogen.

 

[NeuroRN]

Aromatase inhibitor: inhibits the aromatase enzyme

Selective estrogen receptor modulators: changes the way estrogen can bind to receptors.

Depends on situation. If you don’t have bad estrogen sides I think there is a role for Nolva on cycle low dose. Gyno prevention/ it does definitely shed a little water. But if you have bad high E sides it’s not gonna help much with that. You’ll need Anastrazole. Everyone’s different. Start small like .25mg 2x a week, increase if needed.
