    proviron or nolva ?

    Hello guys !
    I've read that Proviron stop the oestrogens and that nolva only blocks effects of oestrogens so why is nolva always recomended in pct, instead of proviron ?

    One of the biggest reasons not to block all estrogen is cuz the stuff is actually important to have in your system for a lot of reasons, including immune function, bone strength and even sexual performance. As you know, Nolva blocks estrogen's effects in certain tissues but doesn't cut its production, while I believe Proviron like Arimidex /Ldex will lower levels overall. I don't think it's as effective at lowering as Ari/Ldex, if I remember correctly.

    The good thing is it lowers SHBG, which supposedly frees up more test. The downside is it's essentially DHT which means pro-hairloss to people who are susceptable and potential prostate probs.

    That's my understanding anyway.
