In the enhanced world of fitness industry there are two groups of enthusiasts when it comes to steroid cycles. The ones who are pro post cycle therapy (PCT) and the ones who are against it.

We are not up to discussing which approach is indeed better today. Both of them have their pros and cons. Today I would like to suggest a rather versatile approach to recovering your body after any pharmaceutical interventions.

First of all let’s define what PCT indeed is. It’s probably best described as a list of measures that are supposed to bring your blood markers in normal ranges. Does it only include the recovering your hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis(HPTA) mechanism? Of course not, it’s also about making sure that your liver and your kidneys are functioning properly. But let’s not rush things up.

The best way to analyze your current state of HPTA is definitely to check your LH and FSH levels alongside with estrogen and prolactin. However we live in different countries and some of us are unlucky enough not to have an access to a lab. What shall we do then? Well this only means that we must use lower dosages of the compounds and make our PCT a bit longer.

So, a rather universal approach to PCT would most likely be looking like this: 

Week 1-2 

HCG 1000iu every other day 

Tamoxifen 20mg per day 

Vitamin E 800iU per day 

Week 3-4 

Clomiphene citrate 100mgs per day 

Tamoxifen 20mg per day 

Vitamin E 800iU per day 

Week 5-8

Clomiphene citrate 50mgs per day 

Tamoxifen 10mg per day 

Vitamin E 800iU per day

Week 9-12 

Clomiphene citrate 25mgs per day 

Vitamin E 400iU per day 

This will be enough to make sure your gonads are properly functioning after 90% of cycles(excluding the “yolo cycles” which would require a more detailed approach with blood work control).

In the scheme above HCG will kickstart your HPTA and anti estrogens will make sure you pituitary is commanding your gonads to start producing testosterone. At the same time vitamin E would enhance the effects of Clomiphene citrate  and Tamoxifen.

It’s not a guarantee that this approach would always work but it’s hundred times better than doing nothing and hoping for the best.

Alongside with HPTA recovery scheme you would be better of introducing some liver and kidney care. I would suggest not making things way too complicated and focus on two main things: NAC for the liver and astragalus for kidneys.

1500mgs of NAC once daily and astragalus root 1500mgs twice daily is a good starting point. If you have been using oral steroids or “heavy” compounds like trenbolone this two things are most likely a must for you.

All in all there are definitely more stuff that can be written on this topic but what we described here today would be enough to cover most of your basic needs. We would discuss a more detailed approach to PCT in future articles. Don’t be lazy and take care of your testies, your liver&kidneys and show some love to your organs. That would be a lot better love story than Twilight anyways :D
