Why Tamoxifen?
Blocks estrogen from shutting growth plates – Tamoxifen inhibits estrogen in certain tissues, like growth plates (epiphyseal plates), so they won't shut down as rapidly.
Less estrogen inhibition than Aromasin – You do need to maintain some estrogen for your bones, and Tamoxifen accomplishes this better than Aromasin.

Why Not Aromasin?
Blocks estrogen too strongly – Shutting off estrogen completely (like Aromasin) can lead to thinning of bones and actually impede long-term development.
Rapes BMD

letrozole mogs
 
the whole point of AI is to get lower estrogen bro.

6.25 mg of aromasin only brought my e2 levels to 27 pg/ml
Yes I know, but still you can use tamoxifen at an earlier boen age because it inhibits estrogen specifically in certain areas like the growth plates rather than systemically. letrozole should be used near complete plate fusion because at least then you have less damage to your BMD

I think the opposite, honestly I only think tamoxifen should be used for PCT in roid cycles, letrozole is way better at an early bone age

If you look at all the studies done where they use an AI, you notice they always use letrozole 2.5 mg.

And there’s other side effects related to tamoxifen, as it reduces IGF-1 and HGH

That's true for the studies, and I didn't really consider the other effects. Maybe lower dosages could be better? what do you think?My main concern with AI's is the BMD side effects.

I feel like people over exaggerate how harsh the BMD side effects are from AI, if you have all the necessary nutrients for bone health I don’t think it will be that bad
