Estrogen Blockers

Estrogen Blockers are a frequently misused term. Most people use the term ‘Estrogen Blocker’ and ‘Anti-Estrogen’ interchangeably but they are not the same, a blocker is a form of anti-estrogen but there is another form, aromatase inhibitors.

Estrogen Blocker literally means to block the estrogen from binding to the receptor, and therefore only SERMS or Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators are estrogen blockers. It does not mean to stop estrogen from being produced or to remove it from the system. To stop estrogen from being created by the aromatase enzyme from testosterone you need an aromatase inhibitor (AI), not an estrogen blocker.

Tamoxifen, prescription name Nolvadex is my absolute favorite illegal Estrogen Blocker or SERM. It offers several advantages over its competing compound Clomid, even for PCT. It’s not a scheduled controlled substance, but possession of a prescription drug is illegal without a script.

Is It Bad To Have a Ton of Estrogen?

Yes! But estrogen has its uses, it is great for a ton of different reasons but to much and we get side effects. Estrogen helps you build muscle 2 different ways; There are 2 different estrogen receptors on the muscle cells, ER alpha and ER Beta. Estrogen binding to the Alpha receptor has a function like MGF, it causes satellite cells your migrate. Binding of estrogen to ER beta causes IGF-1 to be released, these two things are the key to muscle growth.

Sexually you want some estrogen. With no estrogen you have no sex drive. Period. And almost as important, estrogen levels determine how long you can last in bed for. More estrogen = More sexual endurance. Now the last part is hard to scientifically prove but if your estrogen is really really low and you look super dry and inhuman then women are less likely to find you attractive. For all these reasons its important to have some estrogen.

Estrogen also increases HDL which indirectly lowers LDL, making estrogen important for your cardiovascular health!

TO MUCH estrogen results in fat gain, water storage, whining, prostate cancer, and high blood pressure. So you want SOME estrogen but not a lot. This is why a mild legal AI like the ones in Form XT and Arom X are ideal.
