Legal Post Cycle Therapy 101
PCT You Can Do Instead of Legally Required Anti-Estrogens
After a legal cycle of anabolic / prohormone supplements, every bodybuilder has a goal. Guess what it is? To get every ounce of new, hard-worked muscle we've been sweating, screaming, and bleeding over the past 6-10 weeks. If you're new to the game, this seems easy. For the veteran, you know it's not as easy as it seems, mainly because hormones, like testosterone, and other anabolic factors, like growth hormone, in your bloodstream were in abundance now changing because the cycle is over.
At the end of the cycle, all of the things we want have suddenly disappeared and these annoying catabolic factors are increasing. It is the age old dilemma of anabolic cycles. How do we fix it? Enter post-cycle therapy (PCT). The goal of the PCT is to get your body to produce its own anabolic hormones as soon as possible, and even better to stop producing so many catabolic hormones. Our body knows only one way to do this (the wrong way) unless we understand how to apply the science of post-cycle therapy (the right way).
The biology of the GAP after the cycle
GAP is the time between the end of your cycle and your body's return to normal by producing its own appropriate hormone levels. If you are in the GAP, you have the potential to lose a lot, if not all, of your winnings. So don't strive for it! You have to "pay attention to the gap". The aim is to keep the CAP as short as possible.
GAP doesn't have to be scary. Be diligent as a student and follow the basics
First, there are very effective natural OTC options for post-cycle therapy nowadays. The most striking for me are Formadrol and Arom-X. If you follow a strict protocol that follows the label of one or the other of these products after a legal prohormone cycle, you can withhold a large, if not all, of your profits! With PCT, there is a rapid increase in the luetizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone, as well as a decrease in the effect on the compounds in your blood that often slow down your body. by returning to normal.
Key to remember:
Don't wait for your PCT to start up. There is no scientific evidence that waiting for a cycle to end is helpful in any way. The earlier you start, the better.
Have enough products of your choice to take the right dose for a period of time long enough for the PCT to work properly.
A good rule of thumb is that, according to many, the length of the PCT is 4-6 weeks.
Guide to gynecomastia pills
Gynecomastia, the enlargement of the male breast, can be treated with surgery, diet and exercise or by taking certain pills. There are two pills that appear to be most effective in reducing the effects of gynecomastia: tamoxifen and turmeric. Tamoxifen is a prescription drug, while turmeric is a natural supplement.
Tamoxifen
Tamoxifen is used as an endocrine therapeutic for early breast cancer in pre-menopausal women. It acts as an estrogen antagonist in breast tissue. Estrogen is necessary for the growth of certain breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen is converted into compounds that bind to the estrogen receptor, prevent estrogen from binding, and activate it. This prevents the cancer cell from growing.
If gynecomastia is caused by high estrogen levels due to the use of steroids, tamoxifen has proven to be an effective treatment. In some cases, it can be taken by men who are taking steroids to prevent the development of an enlarged breast. It is also given at the beginning of the first symptoms of gynecomastia such as sore or itchy nipples.
The side effects of tamoxifen are both positive and negative. The positive side effect is the ability to prevent bone loss. Negative side effects include: an increased risk of endometrial cancer, an increased risk of thromboembolism, a cause of fatty liver disease, mild memory loss and a possible decrease in libido.
Saffron from India
Turmeric is a herb from the ginger family that is native to South Asia. The rhizomes are the part of the plant that is harvested for use. They are cooked for several hours and then dried. After drying, they are ground into a powder that is used as a spice, dye and dye for the mustard. The active substance is curcumin. It is often used as a cheaper alternative to saffron.
Turmeric is used as an antiseptic, antibacterial food supplement for stomach problems, tea, anti-inflammatory and as a remedy for digestive problems. In the past, most of these uses have occurred in Asia. Turmeric is currently part of several studies in the United States to determine its medicinal properties.
Turmeric is widely used to reduce breast fat. Some weightlifters swear and take it as a supplement instead of adding flavor to the food. However, adding spices to your food will give positive results. It has also been shown to increase testosterone levels in men and balance the estrogens that are often the cause of gynecomastia. Turmeric is a natural alternative to tamoxifen.
Dosages for medication or supplements vary. You should read the labels carefully and follow the recommended dosages to avoid negative side effects. Taking pills can always be risky. So it's best to contact your doctor. Never take someone else's prescription pills, no matter how harmlessly you have been informed.
Both tamoxifen and turmeric are promising for the treatment of gynecomastia, but like every drug, it may not work as well for every man. Including good eating and exercise habits in your day also helps reduce breast enlargement in men.
