PCT (POST CYCLE THERAPY)

PCT stands for Post Cycle Therapy. It is a process that anabolic steroid users undergo after completing a cycle to minimize negative health impacts and maintain the muscle mass they have gained.

Why is PCT essential?

When you introduce synthetic testosterone (steroids) into the body, your system receives a signal that there is an excess. It responds by completely shutting down its own natural testosterone production in the testes (known as HPTA axis shutdown).

Post Cycle Therapy (PCT):

It is the process of restoring natural hormone production (especially testosterone) after completing a cycle of anabolic steroids. The goal is to minimize the loss of muscle mass and maintain hormonal balance. Simply put: When someone uses synthetic testosterone (steroids), their own body stops producing it. PCT acts as a ‘jump-starter’ designed to force the body to begin naturally producing its own hormones again.
