Hi guys,
First post here. I just finished a 16 week test-only cycle. 500mg/week. Currently on day 4 of PCT using Nolva dosed at 40/40/20/20.
Is it ok to take Alpha JYM (a natty test booster) alongside Nolva (tamoxifen citrate)?
I've read that AI's like Arimidex can negate the effects of Nolva and shouldn't be used in combination during PCT. My concern is that two of the ingredients in Alpha JYM, Long Jack and Damiana (which contains acacetin), are suggested to have AI properties. I know they’re nowhere near as strong as Arimidex, but just a concern given that Arimidex can negate Nolva.
Another concern is one of the ingredients can help support free test, and it’s my understanding that increasing free test may actually lower total test production...thus acting against the overall goal of PCT. And another ingredient, DIM, helps convert more estrogen into the weaker form of estrogen, 2-hydroxyestrone. Not sure if that's a concern. Seems like a positive to me.
I've used Alpha JYM before (when natty) and had GREAT results with in terms of mood, libido, and that drive to get shit done. Was hoping to add it in to help with HPTA recovery. But I don’t want to do anything that will negate the effects of Nolva. Any insight into this will be greatly appreciated.
Anyways, here’s the ingredient breakdown and a link to the product write up for anyone interested.
