They also found Nolva "de-plaqued" the arteries reducing risk of hardening of the arteries, improving blood flow, reduced other problems associated with cholesterol and aging. It seems some of the bad side effects women experience have not been noticed in the studies with men and in the future there may be an increasing trend to recommend men take Nolva for cholesterol and related blood flow issues that have nothing to do with steroid use.
There you have it, while aromatase inhibitors cause worsening cholesterol profiles for us, Nolva/tamoxifen may be the most beneficial anti-estrogen of the bunch in more then one way. Other good benefits is the tendancy to strengthen bone structure and reduced acne.
Sorry I thought I captured the link when I was on that web site but I guess it didnt take or I'd post it here, its easy to find... start looking at male breast cancer and before you know it, its there.
