Okay, I wanted to post this in here as I think there is some debate on this issue. AND yes I am possibly suggesting that Sustain could be used in place of a SERM (nolva, torem, clomid, etc).
A SERM is used post cycle therapy to basically block the negative effects of estrogen while your hormone levels return to normal after discontinuing using a source of exogenous test (steroid, ph's).
Basically a SERM doesnt necessarily reduce estrogen but it blocks receptors from the negative side effects of high estrogen floating around in the body. This is taken from post cycle therapy.com explaining how Clomid works:
Clomid is capable of reacting with all of the tissues in the body that have estrogen receptors. It influences the way that the four hormones GnRH, FSH, LH and estradiol, relate and interrelate. It appears that Clomid fools the body into believing that the estrogen level is low. This altered feedback information causes the hypothalamus to make and release more gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) which in turn causes the pituitary to make and release more FSH and LH. More follicle stimulating hormone and more luteinizing hormone should result in increased testosterone production.
Now Sustain, from my understanding is designed to "control estrogen" (with the phyto-al blend) while at the same time reducing/stopping negative effects of estrogen (with resveratrol).
So my question is a SERM still needed? The obvious bad things about SERMs are toxicity issues. Which could potentially make Sustain superior in post cycle therapy. What is everyones thoughts (and I know most here will be very partial to using SERMs).
