When is best time to start PCT?
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2023 4:23 pm
During steroid cycle our own natural testosterone productions is stopped so that is why it is a must to follow a PCT program.
PCT = Post Cycle Therapy and it returns your Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Testicular, Axis (HPTA) back to producing its own endogenous(natural) testosterone. This way we are keeping as much as possible of the gains made during cycle and most important return our male functions back. Energy, sex-drive, motivation and all those things we are as men are known for. Without testosterone we are not men. That is our main hormone. (For women it is estrogen).
In other words, PCT returns our natural testosterone production back and helps us keep results we made on cycle.
When to start PCT?
Right time to start PCT is when steroids are out of your system.
How do I know that?
Look for their half lifes. I will attach list below
