Differentiating Nolva from Clomid

[Mike Dura]

If Nolva can replace clomid for pct, why do people use both? How are they different from each other?

Basically its "monkey see, monkey do". Clomid is FDA approved for fertility agent, while Nolvadex is used to treat estrogen dependent breast cancer. I think the myth started here. Later studies revealed Nolvadex to actually be more effective for fertility tho. There is no documented synergy between the two, so stacking them is sort of a waste.

The main reason of the emergence in Nolvadex only PCT protocols is fourfold: 1) clomid creates vision problems in some users 2) clomid is acts as a weak estrogen at the pituitary, while nolvadex is strongly anti-estrogenic here 3) no proven synergy 4) it's cheaper, since a smaller dose will do the trick

So I guess just nova would be ok after superdrol right? Why do people seem to use both as pct if nolva is better?

Like Mike said Monkey see, Monkey do.. Clomid is always the way its been done but there is a lot of stuff I have seen in threads lately and also in the new Anabolic Steroid book that suggests Clomid isnt really required for PCT
