PCT: Your Best Guide to Post Cycle Therapy (2024)

Post-Cycle Therapy, or PCT for short, is essentially the process of levelling your body’s hormone levels after a SARMs, steroid or prohormone cycle. Simply put, your body may cease to produce or at least lower your natural hormone production when subjected to significantly raised levels of exogenous substances.

To run the most effective PCT, there are 5 goals we want to achieve:

The HPTA (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular Axis) restart protocol is a method used to help restore natural hormone production in the body, specifically testosterone, after it has been suppressed due to the use of anabolic steroids or similar substances.

Restarting the HPTA has been covered many times, a quick evolutionary search on SERMs and you will find many articles relating to the use of both Clomid and Nolvadex, these can be combined together or used solo. To restart HPTA Clomid is a solid choice but you can also use Nolvadex. Both are effective in aiding recovery.

Overall, the HPTA restart protocol is a way to help the body recover its natural hormone production after it has been disrupted by the use of steroids or similar substances.

The timing of PCT can vary depending on the specific compound and cycle length. As a general rule, it’s best to wait until the exogenous compounds have cleared your system before starting PCT. This can range from  1 day to several days, depending on the compound and dosage used. It’s important to do research on the specific compound you’re using. For SARMs and prohormones, you can start PCT after 24 hours since your last dosage.

The duration of post cycle therapy (PCT) can vary depending on factors such as the specific compounds used, the duration and intensity of the cycle, and individual response to the substances.
