</header>[FONT=libre_franklinregular]What SARMS Need SERMS - The SARM PCT GUIDE- PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) Protocols and SARM’s are very unfamiliar to the public. In this article, we’ll go through a full guide for each SARM and PCT cycle.
This is a long time coming article of information I wanted to write about for a few reasons.
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]What SARMS Need SERMS - The SARM PCT GUIDE Table of Content[/FONT]
As you experiment with your SARMs or a Steroid Cycle, your testosterone will reach increased levels, which are synthesized.
When your body notices these hormone functions, it naturally wants to increase Estrogen to balance your increased Testosterone.
It is after your SARMs or Steroid Cycle is over that problems can occur.
A PCT is the transition period of where you go from taking some type of hormonal regulator to getting back to homeostasis.
It is absolutely necessary, in my opinion, to undergo a PCT to keep all the progress and gains, bring your testosterone levels back to normal levels, and help organs function as expected.
<figure class="wp-block-image" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1em 0px;"></figure>[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]PCT Protocol with SARMS[/FONT][/h]As there are many different SARMs for discussion, each one will need to be reviewed to give you a better idea into its strength and vulnerability, depending on the length and cycle.
Please review the specifics of your cycle and consult a professional before experimenting. This is for informational purposes only.
[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]Aromatase inhibitors (AIs)[/FONT][/h]An Aromatase inhibitor is a drug that is used for the treatment of breast cancer in women and Gyno (man boobs) in men.
These are used to block estrogen or block the action of estrogen receptors.
Common types in the bodybuilding industry are Anastrozole, Letrozole, Androsta and Aromasin (Exemestane).
These are used to balance out hormones during and after cycle to prevent things like gynecomastia in men.
This is common with mild SARMs or steroids within the underground bodybuilding and Powerlifting community, as well as Professional Athletes.
[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]What are SERMs[/FONT][/h]SERMs are Selective Estrogen Receptive Modulators, the opposite of the family member of SARMS (Selective Androgen receptive Modulators).
The most common available brands are Tamoxifen ( Nolvadex) for breast cancer treatment and Clomid for female infertility.
<figure class="wp-block-image" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1em 0px;"></figure>[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]What is the difference between an
AIs and SERMs?[/FONT][/h]SERMs act on the Estrogen receptor, where they selectively stimulate these effects on the body.
They are used for female infertility and the prevention of things like Osteoporosis and the treatment of breast cancer.
Whereas Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are blockers that generally help balance hormones.
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]To clarify[/FONT]
“Aromatase inhibitor (AI) prevents the aromatase enzyme from acting on testosterone and turning the test into estrogen.
SERMs block estrogen from acting on certain sites in the body.
AIs prevent your body from synthesizing estrogen, two very different actions.
[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]What are the Benefits of a PCT[/FONT][/h]The biggest benefit of a PCT is that it brings your body hormone regulation to normal levels. It essentially trains your body off of Synthetic hormones.
It also will save muscle or fat loss and keep this maintained, moving forward.
This is a part of restoring health after stretching your hormones beyond physical capability.
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]It has to be said that because you feel ok doesn’t mean your organs and hormones have recovered correctly.[/FONT]
This is all to keep muscle, strength, metabolism, fat loss and mood in shape; as it was previously stated that a PCT is necessary.
[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]What are its Side Effects PCTs[/FONT][/h]A loss in all muscle or rebound of fat can reoccur if these hormones are not balanced.
Mood and energy can also fluctuate along with many other issues depending on the substance and length you did, each individual is different but it is not worth taking a risk when it comes to a PCT.
[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]What are the dosages of PCTs?[/FONT][/h]The general consensus online, for mild compounds cycles like Ostarine or S4, it is advised using a 4 week PCT cycle of [FONT=libre_franklinbold]75mg [/FONT]Arimistane per day.
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]It is generally better to be safe than sorry when it comes to these dosages.[/FONT]
For the more suppressive chemicals that will affect your hormones directly, it is advised in the underground community to do the following:
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]Week 1-4 [/FONT](the four weeks immediately following your last SARM dose):
This can be dependent on your size, body type, and most importantly, dosages of anabolics you decide to experiment with.
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]Note[/FONT]: I dropped my Clomid intake to 25mg within the first week as I was getting libido issues.
[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]Are PCTs Legal[/FONT][/h]PCTs such as Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) and SERMs (Selective Estrogen Receptive Modulators) are generally legal to buy but are usually prescribed by a medical practitioner.
It probably isn’t a good idea to buy these on the black market. It is best to consult your doctor.
This is country dependent, please review your local laws. By the time you read this article laws may have changed.
<figure class="wp-block-image" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1em 0px;"></figure>[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]What are the different PCT Types?[/FONT][/h]
It can be used during PCT to reproduce your natural testosterone levels.
It is used after heavy steroid cycles and high dosages, to restore natural testosterone levels. This is prescribed generally by a doctor. It also claims to be useful for fat loss.
I do not see HMG or HCG necessary for a SARMs cycle.
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]What’s the difference between HCG and HMG?[/FONT]
They are very similar. If people take HCG for too long they destroy the receptor, which affects the signal to these hormones.
HMG is not as strong as HCG but can be used to alternate substances.
The Ultimate PCT in severe cases would be to use both, but you would need ultimate shutdown levels. Generally, it is not necessary.
Both can be useful for male fertility for impregnation if functions are not working correctly.
HMG generally costs more but protocols are similar.
This is just information and facts for research purposes only.
[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]Is Blood Work Necessary?[/FONT][/h]Yes, Lab work is 100% necessary so you can make decisions to increase or remove PCT once you are finished your PCT.
It is also important for your health. Generally, estrogen should be around 20-30 pg/mL.
The only way you will be more certain about your health is getting your Lab work done after an anabolic cycle.
[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]In Conclusion[/FONT][/h]There is always conflicting information online, especially on PCT (Post Cycle Therapy). It is always misinterpreted and is described in broad statements.
Back in the 80s no one even ran these drugs without PCTs, but lots of users did have more long term side effects.
There have been many issues over the years. The knowledge, products, and ideas evolved over time.
Chances are, you will have internal and external problems and you will never get to the goals you want if PCT and blood work isn’t carried out correctly.
If you don’t follow up on research you may shorten your life over these decisions.
Natural hormone production, preventing catabolism, fat gains, strength losses, balancing hormone levels and reducing side effects are all apart of this journey.
You can imagine the feelings that can develop over the negligence of not using a PCT after using SARMs, or Steroids for that matter.
You will feel terrible, make irrational decisions potentially around loved ones and in the workplace, and it can take months to feel normal again, why would you even take the risk.
If people are experimenting with hardcore research chemicals and supplements from the online black market, people should respect the experiment protocols and drug consumption requirements.
It is [FONT=libre_franklinbold]100%[/FONT] necessary to take your health seriously. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation online.
I hope this finds you well and keeps you better informed of your research.
I want to develop and create a platform to help users for a better understanding of an anabolic cycle protocol while keeping in mind longevity and better living of life.
This can be achieved through your Post Cycle Therapy protocol and lab work tests.

I would research chem sites with unbiased reviews such as forums. This is country dependent so there’s no one provider.
Also, consult your doctor for an examination for a prescription.
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]Do you need to use Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) on a SARM cycle?[/FONT]
No, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is not needed on a SARM cycle, unless there are unique signs of a permanent shutdown.
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]Why not Clomid OR Nolvadex for the Post cycle?[/FONT]
These supplements are not identical.
Nolvadex does provide more anti-estrogen properties, but Clomid should kick start your testosterone production quicker.
Both will safely stimulate the Testosterone in your body, it is suggested that you use both to stimulate your Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
Testosterone is produced in your testicles by the pituitary gland, which signals these responses. This will help to maintain strength and mental clarity.
[FONT=libre_franklinbold]How much do PCTs generally cost?[/FONT]
HMG and HCG usually cost 30 to 50 USD. This depends on the country and shipping.
Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) generally is available for 15 to 30 USD.
Clomid (Clomiphene ) is generally available for 30 to 50 USD.
[h=2][FONT=libre_franklinbold]Interesting facts[/FONT][/h]USADA has prohibited SERMs, AIs ( Aromatase Inhibitors) and HCGs (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin ) for use for all Athletes.
Jon Jones and Brock Lesner were both caught using these Anti Estrogen blockers, specifically Clomid.
“Clomiphene, the substance found in both Lesnar and Jones’ system, stymies the production of estrogen to stimulate natural testosterone production.
It is commonly used as post-cycle therapy (PCT) for those coming of anabolic steroids and works somewhat in the same way as testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
Clinically, it is prescribed to stimulate female ovulation and can also help male virility. ”
