If on letro, do I need nolva?

If I am taking letrozole , do I have to take anything else, or is this sufficient?

nope that should be good, just make sure you have some nolva on hand for pct!!

You shouldn't need another anti-e for the purpose of estrogen control letro does a good job with this. However Nolvadex does improve lipid profiles which are usually way out wack while on. The downside to adding nolvadex is that it can diminsh the effectiveness of letro.

nolva is a SERM,and letro is an AI, what kind of cycle are u running?

u sure bro?

Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) Compounds that bind with estrogen receptors and exhibit estrogen action in some tissues and anti-estrogen action in other tissues. The ideal SERM would deliver all the benefits of estrogen without the adverse effects. ex: Clomiphene Citrate (Marketed as Clomid or Serophene). Tamoxifen (Marketed as Nolvadex ).

Aromatise Inhibitor (AI) Aromatase inhibitors exhibit a very different mechanism of action than SERM’s. Aromatase inhibitors prevent the conversion of androgens into estrogen in fat, muscle, breast, and brain. ex: Anastrazole (brand name Arimidex ). FEMARA (letrozole tablets).

This is what im looking to find out.. With my Prop and EQ cycle...im trying to Zap my little gyno with Letro but i hear some say that running Nolva with Letro is good. and some say it decreases Letro effectiveness.. and i should just save it for PCT with Clomid...i have the Letro already.. shoudl i get the nolva

JMO but I would use the Nolva along with the letro......... Just for the fact that letro could make for a unhealthy lipid profile and the nolva will help because the way it mimics estrogen in tissue like your liver.

Also, using both letro and nolva will fight estrogen related sides by either stopping the conversion of test to estrogen (letro), keeping estrogen from binding to the ER (Nolva), or both ways.

You could run 10mg Nolva ED and 1 to 1.25mg Letro EOD through the cycle.

how bad do Lipid profiles go out of wack... .is it that serious where i should risk Letro effectiveness?

and since Letro is stopping any estrogen conevrsions wouldnt Nolva be better in PCT with Clomid??
