SARMS PCT

January 17, 2020 Off By admin

Post-Course Therapy (PCT) is considered the most important part of a cycle as, if ignored or performed incorrectly, the athlete could lose most, if not all, of the gains made in the cycle. As a result, all their hard work and money spent could be a complete waste. For this reason, many have wondered how best to perform a PCT after using SARMS (selective androgen receptor modulators) such as Anabolicum (LGD), Andarine (S4), Ostabolicum (Ostarine), and Testolone (RAD140).

What does suppression and shutdown really mean?

Unfortunately, many people mistakenly assume that shutting down is related to low libido and therefore assume that suppression does not occur when libido is high. However, this is actually a mischaracterization of the wording. In fact, shutdown or suppression is when your pituitary glands are operating below their baseline. This aspect of suppression can be seen in blood tests where LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) are lower than before. For example, if you take anabolic steroids, they drop sharply, close to 0. Meanwhile, if you take SARMS, they drop significantly less, usually around 2040%, depending on the duration and type of SARMS you use.

*Note: It is important to perform a full blood test before each course to establish a baseline number.

How much suppression does SARMS give me?

Anabolicum (LGD), S23 and Testolone (RAD140) tend to be more suppressive of SARMS, while Ostabolicum (ostamk) and Andarine (S4) are the less suppressive. However, it is important to remember that the ostabolic effect has been shown to be non-suppressive when taken for 4 weeks or less in doses not exceeding 25 milligrams (mg). Any longer course or higher dosage causes suppression. Therefore, it is best to play it safe and follow your SARMS cycle with a PCT.

On the other hand, both Stenabolic (SR9009) and Cardarine (GW) are not SARMS. Therefore, they are non-hormonal and non-suppressive, so PCT would not be necessary if you were to do either method alone.

What happens to my HPTA after I complete my SARMS regimen?

If you are taking a suppressive SARMS regimen. Your LH, FSH and testosterone levels are below your baseline. As a result, the purpose of PCT is to provide a soft landing and make recovery a breeze. This will help you feel good, maintain muscle mass, prevent body fat gain, and maintain strength. This is a crucial part of PED cycling as you cannot progress if your hormone levels do not balance. In fact, so many people are unable to progress – they don’t do a proper PCT to maintain their gains – and they have to start over again.

Natural PCT against drugs

I don’t think you always need to take medication after a light SARMS course of short duration and lower doses. However, for longer treatments you should use aids together with PCT aids.

Testosterone boosting supplements to have on hand for PCT

1. HCGenerate classic or HCGenerate ES

Both have earned a reputation for increasing libido enormously. The classic version has been available for many years at an affordable price. That’s how it’s proven. Meanwhile, the ES (Extra Strength) version contains more of the same ingredients per serving, plus a few extras. This is why it has the extra strength added to its name.

Both versions have:
  • Bulgarian Tribulus Terrestris and Zinc Both work in synergy to help the body produce testosterone at the highest possible levels. Testosterone is our male hormone that helps us build great muscles and strength, and during PCT it tends to be at low levels.
  • Fadogia rural stem extract This is a unique West African herbal supplement included in testosterone boosters as it increases libido and male behavior.
  • Fenugreek This plant contains something called saponins, which studies have found to increase libido in men by 25% and also help with premature ejaculation.
  • 3.4 Divanil This compound binds to SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), creating a higher proportion of free testosterone. It works in great synergy with the other supplements.

In addition, the extra strength version of HCGenerate contains a higher dosage of the above substances as well as the following:

  • Horny Goat Weed a long-standing aphrodisiac in Asia that also increases blood flow to the penis. If you want stronger and harder erections, this is a great addition to your PCT.
  • Mucuna Pruriens Extract a great mood enhancer, especially at a time when your mood is crashing. Its most amazing property is the ability to lower prolactin a nasty hormone that leads to loss of libido and sexual interest.
  • Basella Alba This leafy vegetable stimulates the Leydig cells. In this case, testosterone levels increase.
  • additionally HCGenerate ES also contains Ginseng and Indol3Carbinol, which work in synergy to balance hormones and increase LH. This is why you will notice that your testicles appear to grow when using HCGenerate ES.

Lipid and organ health

Even though SARMS does not put as much strain on the organs and body as anabolic steroids, you still need to balance the increase in muscle mass in your body and the stress that this increase places on the body. Therefore, N2Guard is another great compound to use during PCT. This supplement can be used to support the health of your heart and organs as it contains 3 dozen ingredients ranging from vitamins and minerals to herbs that help your body deal with the added stress. I recommend half the normal dosage, which is 34 capsules / day.

Block fat

During PCT, there is a risk of regaining the body fat that you worked so hard to lose during your SARMS cycle. Luckily, a supplement called N2Slin contains natural ingredients that provide nutrient distribution as well as fat blocking.

How does N2slin work and how can it help you? The secret is the ingredients that work in synergy to help you utilize the food you eat without putting on body fat.

Bergen Prevents insulin from rising after eating, thus preventing fat gain.
  • Crepe MyrtlesTannis Helps with glucose absorption and muscle repair.
  • Gymnema Sylvestre and 4Hydroxyisoleucine Both produce insulin when you need it.
  • Coleus forskohlii makes muscle cells more receptive to insulin. Essentially increasing insulin sensitivity, which leads to a reduction in body fat.
  • Green coffee bean extract and green tea Both prevent the body from storing fat. At the same time, both increase your metabolism.

PCTSetup

Now that we know what these supplements do and why PCT is so important, here’s how you should do your PCT after a SARMS cycle. Not only will you maintain your gains, but in many cases you will continue to lose body fat, gain muscle mass and increase strength.
