It is usefull for curbing the effects that come with aromatizing AAS's while in cycle, and can be used in PCT. Nolvadex is shown to decrease the effectiveness of Arimidex when used together. In this case a suicide inhibitor may be more well suited, like in PCT. It is also called L-dex, in its liquid form.

    I found this study from BJ Cancer, that says:

    "...we conclude that the observed reduction in anastrozole levels by tamoxifen is unlikely to be of clinical significance when anastrozole and tamoxifen are administered together...."

    Tricky part is anyone can cherry pick a study to support a specific statement. The fitness industry is the perfect example of that. For every study on NIH showing HIT is better than steady state cardio there's a counterstudy showing the reverse.

    The study you linked is also almost 2 decades old.
    I no longer check my inbox. If you PM me I will not reply.
