I don't have any experience with Proviron, but I do know that Nolvadex works very well. -TG | ||

Proviron is used to prevent the aromatization of most anabolic androgenic steroids. By doing this it prevents estrogen related sides such as water retention, fat storage and gyno. It is not effective with some compounds such as deca which can lead to gyno via progesterone. Nolvadex works in a similar way but also is slightly different. Nolvadex doesnt prevent the aromatization of anabolic androgenic steroids but is a synthetic estrogen which binds to the receptor and thus prevent the real estrogen from exerting its effects. It should be noted that estrogen is necessary to help maintain healthy status however too much is bad. ------------------ | ||

Cheers for the replies. The reason i asked is because im thinking of doing a heavier cycle than normal, and i cant get hold of Nolvadex, but i can get clomid, proviron and HCG, im just worried that if i get gyno, i wont be to treat it properly without the nolvadex. Will i be ok with what ive got or not??? Cheers Mick | ||

Raff, if u can't get nolv. use clomid. Besides getting your test level back up after a cycle it also works as an anti-estrogen. 50mg/EOD throughout your cycle is plenty. Goodluck.

If your using tests and/or dbol go with the Proviron daily...you wont regret it. And save the clomid for the end and the nolva "just in case". ------------------ | ||

After 3 weeks on proviron take about 10-14 days off and at this time utilise clomid at 50mgs eod. This will allow some estrogen that is needed but not too much so as to worry about high estrogen related sides. ------------------ | ||

Using 25mg of proviron and 10mg-20mg of Nolva per day is almost as effective as Arimidex at preventing estrogen realted side effects. This should only be used if water weight, gyno, or high blood pressure is an important concern. ------------------ Great Information on Injections and Syringes | ||

Prov. will hinder your gain muck more than nolv. or clomid. It binds to the same recepters as the gear u will be using cause it is also a very weak roid! Save it for when u need it or maybe EOD or every 2-3 days.

Hey Iron game, maybe you should check your info. I have also heard that Proviron binds to the same receptors as AS. | ||

Iron Game, you're misinformed. Proviron is an androgen and therefore binds to androgen receptor sites within the body. With Proviron binding to androgen receptor sites, some of the other steroids present in the body (androgens) are blocked out and unable to take effect. It's alot better than Nolvadex which can actually convert into estrogen in some cases. ------------------ | ||
