Tamoxifen Citrate (Nolvadex) 20mg by ZPHC is a powerful oral selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), widely used in both medical and bodybuilding contexts. It is primarily used to treat and prevent breast cancer and plays a critical role in post-cycle therapy (PCT) for bodybuilders, helping restore natural testosterone levels and preventing estrogenic side effects like gynecomastia after anabolic steroid use.
Active Ingredient and Dosage
- Active Ingredient: Tamoxifen Citrate (20 mg per tablet)

Mechanism of Action
- Estrogen Blocker: Tamoxifen works by binding to estrogen receptors, particularly in breast tissue, effectively blocking the effects of estrogen. This action prevents estrogen-dependent breast cancer growth and helps manage gynecomastia in men.
- Hormonal Stimulation: Tamoxifen stimulates the production of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which promotes natural testosterone production in the testes, making it a crucial component in PCT for restoring hormonal balance.
