HGH+Nolva

[Fullybuilt]

I've been reading at a few other boards and a couple of bro's are saying its a good idea to take a little nolvadex while on a GH cycle, b/c HGH can attack the IGF receptors in the chest area, causing gyno. You guys think its a good idea to run maybe 10mg nolva throughout an entire HGH cycle to prevent any possible gyno or will the nolva hinder the GH's gains.

Pathways to form gyno are complex - nolvadex will do nothing to stop GH related gyno - it is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), it doesn't stop the production of estrogen - for that you need an anti-aromatase (arimidex, letrozole, etc). Now if you stop/limit estrogen production while on GH, that will help reduce one of the necessary ingredients, so it may have a benefit. But just understand that gyno formation is a function of multiple hormones in practice (estrogen being the most prominent).

Here is a graphic from that text showing how many hormone pathways are involved.

Is it even a good idea to use nolvadex with GH it igf-1? I keep hearing nolvadex reduces igf-1 levels, so it wouldn't make sense to use both at the same time.
