Many guys will find that 0.5mg every two days is enough to mitigate all side effects.\u003cbr\u003eOthers will need to increase to 1mg every two days. While some people will take as much as 1mg of Arimidex every day during a cycle this is usually unnecessary, and it’s also advised to test your individual response to the drug by starting out at the lower dose.\u003cbr\u003eFemale Arimidex Dosage\u003cbr\u003eBecause it has such strong estrogen suppressive effects, Arimidex is mostly only given to post-menopausal women as a breast cancer treatment to slow the growth of some types of tumors and where the cancer is still progressing after the use of SERM drugs. The most common dosage is 1mg daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany women will be required to take Arimidex for up to five years to help control the growth of cancerous tumors. This long-term administration of Arimidex comes with increased risk of side effects that we rarely or never see with the short term use that steroid users undertake with this drug.\u003cbr\u003eAs Arimidex is not prescribed medically for most women with breast cancer who have not yet reached menopause, female steroid users also should not use this drug for any purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArimidex Dosage for PCT and Increased Endogenous Testosterone Secretion\u003cbr\u003eAs mentioned already, Arimidex is not a prime choice for post cycle therapy purposes for most steroid users.\u003cbr\u003eWhile it has some function for helping stimulate the production of testosterone, its highly suppressive effects on estrogen can result in a less than ideal effect on testosterone production and a result that is not as effective as using SERMs like Nolvadex and Clomid, which are more commonly used for PCT purposes, in conjunction with hCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin).\u003cbr\u003eWhile everyone reacts differently to different drugs, and your post cycle therapy will also depend on the type of steroid cycle you were on, some may wish to include Arimidex and in these cases a dosage of 0.5mg to 1mg daily during the post cycle therapy cycle is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArimidex vs Nolvadex for PCT\u003cbr\u003eMore and more bodybuilders are turning to AIs like Arimidex to meet their needs for a powerful and effective anti-estrogen while using steroids because AIs actually block the function of estrogen, while SERMs like Nolvadex are very selective in how and where they can stop the functioning of estrogen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut many of us are still using Nolvadex and other SERM’s, often in conjunction with AIs.\u003cbr\u003eHow does Nolvadex compare with Arimidex and should you still be using a SERM at all? It’s not so black and white, and ultimately it comes down to how your body reacts to the drugs and the strength of your steroid cycle and the associated side effects.\u003cbr\u003eA big advantage that Nolvadex and other SERMs have over Arimidex and AIs is that while Arimidex is likely to have a negative impact on your cholesterol by lowering HDL cholesterol – the good cholesterol type and this is amplified further when it’s used with most anabolic steroids, Nolvadex does not come with this concern.\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, Nolvadex can potentially be good for cholesterol; quite the opposite to Arimidex in this regard. This is a big reason, especially for those concerned with cholesterol health, that people will choose to use SERMs over an AI like Arimidex particularly for more mild steroid cycles where an AI might not be needed anyway.\u003cbr\u003eThere’s another huge benefit to Nolvadex though: it is very effective during post cycle therapy to stimulate the natural production of testosterone following suppression during a steroid cycle.\u003cbr\u003eArimidex and SERMs in general simply don’t excel at this function because although it has some testosterone stimulating effects, the way Arimidex suppresses estrogen levels so much that there is not enough for normal functioning makes testosterone stimulation quite weak and not often enough to provide the much-needed benefits during post cycle therapy.\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, Arimidex is rarely recommended for use during post cycle therapy and instead is a drug that is mostly used during a steroid cycle which is where it’s performance and results does outshine that of Nolvadex. That’s not to say that bodybuilders don’t use Arimidex during post cycle therapy: many do but only in conjunction with other drugs so that every possible angle is covered to aid in total recovery from a powerful steroid cycle.\u003cbr\u003eFor people foregoing Arimidex altogether during post cycle therapy, a combination of Clomid, Nolvadex and hCG are often used instead. The goal of post cycle therapy is to stimulate testosterone not only for normal functioning as a male, but also to retain your muscle gains and control body fat – both of which will suffer when testosterone levels are lower than normal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Health Shop SA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49378888253751,"sku":null,"price":680.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/5210\/3479\/files\/HD-Arimidex.png?v=1721221178"},{"product_id":"clomid-50-upa","title":"Clomid 50 UPA","description":"\u003cp\u003eClomid (Clomiphene Citrate) is in the class of drugs called Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM).

The most common dosage is 1mg daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany women will be required to take Arimidex for up to five years to help control the growth of cancerous tumors.

It’s not so black and white, and ultimately it comes down to how your body reacts to the drugs and the strength of your steroid cycle and the associated side effects.\u003cbr\u003eA big advantage that Nolvadex and other SERMs have over Arimidex and AIs is that while Arimidex is likely to have a negative impact on your cholesterol by lowering HDL cholesterol – the good cholesterol type and this is amplified further when it’s used with most anabolic steroids, Nolvadex does not come with this concern.\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, Nolvadex can potentially be good for cholesterol; quite the opposite to Arimidex in this regard. This is a big reason, especially for those concerned with cholesterol health, that people will choose to use SERMs over an AI like Arimidex particularly for more mild steroid cycles where an AI might not be needed anyway.\u003cbr\u003eThere’s another huge benefit to Nolvadex though: it is very effective during post cycle therapy to stimulate the natural production of testosterone following suppression during a steroid cycle.\u003cbr\u003eArimidex and SERMs in general simply don’t excel at this function because although it has some testosterone stimulating effects, the way Arimidex suppresses estrogen levels so much that there is not enough for normal functioning makes testosterone stimulation quite weak and not often enough to provide the much-needed benefits during post cycle therapy.\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, Arimidex is rarely recommended for use during post cycle therapy and instead is a drug that is mostly used during a steroid cycle which is where it’s performance and results does outshine that of Nolvadex. That’s not to say that bodybuilders don’t use Arimidex during post cycle therapy: many do but only in conjunction with other drugs so that every possible angle is covered to aid in total recovery from a powerful steroid cycle.\u003cbr\u003eFor people foregoing Arimidex altogether during post cycle therapy, a combination of Clomid, Nolvadex and hCG are often used instead. The goal of post cycle therapy is to stimulate testosterone not only for normal functioning as a male, but also to retain your muscle gains and control body fat – both of which will suffer when testosterone levels are lower than normal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Health Shop SA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49378905063735,"sku":null,"price":490.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/5210\/3479\/files\/UPA-Arimidex-1mg.png?v=1721221635"},{"product_id":"kf-clomid","title":"KF - Clomid","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e25mg – 50mg \/ day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eClomiphene\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e30 tabs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct may differ from picture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClomid (Clomiphene Citrate) is in the class of drugs called Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM).

Additionally, the less serious side effects that are listed for Clomid as a female medication are not relevant to males.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClomid is a mild SERM that is tolerated well by most men. Despite this, it is still possible to experience some side effects when using Clomid but keep in mind that many people will have no side effects at all. Compared with women who use Clomid for medical purposes, the tolerance level of males using this drug tends to be much higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePotential side effect risks of Clomid include depression and irritability; some men experience negative changes to the mood when using Clomid. Headaches, hot flushes, diarrhea and nausea are other possibilities although again these are mainly reported in the women taking Clomid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVision disturbances is certainly the one side effect that most men worry about with this drug. Changes to the vision is unfortunately one of the more common side effects associated with Clomid and is one reason that guys will choose Nolvadex instead which does not come with this risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn more extreme cases, sudden loss of vision can occur and sometimes this can be permanent. Hazy or blurry vision is the more common form that this side effect takes. Although a serious side effect that no one wants to experience, it’s still thought to affect less than 2% of Clomid users and in most cases the problem disappears on its own once your use of Clomid ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother effect that some men will see when using Clomid for PCT is acne, but this is not thought to be a direct effect of the drug itself but instead a reaction to the rise in testosterone that the drug is stimulating. In most cases this acne is mild and mostly only effects men who were already predisposed to acne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of Clomid is to reduce and ultimately eliminate some of the most worrying undesirable effects of anabolic steroid use. So, although there is a small risk of some people experiencing additional side effects with the use of Clomid, it is universally agreed among serious bodybuilders that these minor concerns are not serious enough to outweigh the huge and essential benefits of using a SERM like Clomid to address estrogenic side effects and testosterone suppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe good news is that even if Clomid doesn’t suit you, or you find that you’re one of the minority of guys who see more serious side effects with this drug, we have other SERMs to choose from as well as the choice of aromatase inhibitors, meaning there’s always going to be an option for your PCT, and anti-estrogen needs whether Clomid is right for you or not.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Health Shop SA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50785652572471,"sku":null,"price":830.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/5210\/3479\/files\/9d713d86-4fa3-4b68-8b16-2845bb84b121.jpg?v=1751545090"},{"product_id":"vm-clomid-50mg","title":"VM Clomid 50mg","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClomid 50mg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (Clomiphene Citrate) is a non-steroidal fertility drug and one of the most widely used compounds in post-cycle therapy protocols.
