Important! We do not advocate for the use of steroids and other potent substances. All information is provided so that those who still decide to take them can do so with minimal health risks.

FaRESTon is the commercial name for the substance toremifene citrate. It is a quite expensive drug that has firmly entered the diet of advanced chemists and constantly raises questions among newcomers to chemotherapy. This article aims to dispel all misunderstandings regarding FaRESTon.

What is it?

FaRESTon is the closest relative of tamoxifen and clomid. It is a selective estrogen receptor modulator. In simpler terms, this is a group of drugs whose molecules, when entering the body, find estrogen receptors and attach to them in various parts of our body. However, in some tissues, they prevent estrogens from activating their receptors, while in others, they activate these receptors better than estrogens themselves.

Toremifene is a new generation of anti-estrogen drugs for combating estrogen-dependent breast cancer in women. It is designed to help in cases where the good old tamoxifen refuses to work.

Why is it needed?

What is the practical value of FaRESTon in strength sports? In principle, it can serve as a full replacement for tamoxifen and clomid during PCT (post-cycle therapy). However, this is impractical due to the high cost of toremifene. Why pay more?

Let's clarify right away that clomid makes sense to take only during post-cycle therapy. It effectively kicks off the functioning of the sexual axis, but as a means of preventing feminization phenomena, it is too weak. Especially considering the currently accepted dosages of steroids. So, let's leave clomid alone.

Tamoxifen has one VERY unpleasant trait. In some cases, when used concurrently with progestins (nandrolone, trenbolone, oxymetholone), it can significantly enhance their side effects associated with progestogenic activity:

• Excessive fluid retention,
• Gynecomastia,
• Fat accumulation in unexpected places,
• Severe suppression of the reproductive system.

This ability is explained by tamoxifen's influence on the growth of progestogenic receptors and increasing the sensitivity of these receptors to synthetic progestin molecules (nandrolone, trenbolone, oxymetholone). This means that tamoxifen intake is undesirable during and immediately after cycles of these steroids.

Here, FaRESTon comes to our rescue. It effectively protects against the estrogenic side effects of nandrolone and oxymetholone. And importantly, it does not enhance the influence of progestogenic receptors on our body.

But what about trenbolone? You might ask. It doesn't convert to estrogens and doesn't mimic their behavior in our body? Indeed—trenbolone does not convert to anything and does not interact with enzymes. It only theoretically has estrogenic activity; in practice, it is non-existent. But this refers to pure trenbolone. Unfortunately, today, 95% of manufacturers synthesize trenbolone from Revalor—a veterinary raw material that contains, along with a small amount of tren, a HUGE amount of synthetic estradiol. As a result, we get trenbolone with estradiol. To avoid the allure of the side effects that this bonus estradiol brings, toremifene MUST be used in conjunction with such trenbolone.

Conclusions

1. Alongside nandrolone, oxymetholone, and trenbolone, use the expensive but indispensable toremifene in this case. It will help combat the estrogenic side effects of these steroids and will not worsen their progestogenic activity.

2. However, toremifene does not cope with the progestogenic activity of this trio. In this case, prolactin inhibitors are necessary.

3. For PCT after these steroids, use ONLY clomid. Toremifene can also be appropriate, but why overpay a lot of money? No need.

4. Tamoxifen is NOT SUITABLE for simultaneous and post-cycle use with progestins. It can significantly worsen the progestogenic side effects of these steroids. This does not happen with everyone, but if you try to save on your health, you risk massive changes in both your reproductive system and external appearance. A miser pays twice.

5. The working dose of toremifene is in the range of 20-60 mg per day. Everything depends on the dosages of the progestins.

So, that's the situation. As you can see, there are no secrets here. If you find it difficult to digest and understand the information in this article, feel free to ask questions in the comments below. I will definitely respond. Writing it all out in this case isn’t entirely straightforward.
