Post Cycle Therapy

Buy PCT for your cycle to keep your gains and stay safe

Anyone can run a cycle. But what separates pros from amateurs is how well they recover afterward. That’s where Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) comes in — it’s the reset button for your body’s natural testosterone, estrogen balance, and overall health.

Muscle Gear carries Canada’s most complete lineup of pharmacy-grade PCT and support compounds, from Apoxar, NovoPharm, and Innovagen. These are real medical-grade drugs — Clomid, Nolvadex, Aromasin, Arimidex, HCG — not the fake “test boosters” you see in supplement stores.

If you want to hold onto your size, strength, and libido after a cycle, this is where the real work begins.

What Is PCT and why it matters

After any anabolic cycle — steroids, SARMs, or prohormones — your body’s natural testosterone production takes a hit. The brain stops signaling your testes to produce hormones, leaving you suppressed and feeling like a car with no engine.

That’s why PCT exists: to kick-start natural hormone production and prevent side effects like:

• Low libido or erectile dysfunction;
• Fatigue and depression;
• Estrogen rebound (gyno, water retention, mood swings);
• Muscle loss and fat gain.

Skipping PCT is like spending months building a house and then lighting it on fire.

Key PCT & Support compounds and what they do

We know it might be hard to choose when there’s so many options. Just to help you out, here’s a brief overview of each of the PCT compounds you can buy at Muscle Gear. 

First, the ones that go AFTER the cycle: 

Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate)

The classic. Stimulates the pituitary gland to produce LH and FSH — the hormones that restart testosterone production. Keeps mood, energy, and libido stable.

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate)

Often stacked with Clomid for best results. Prevents estrogen rebound and protects against gyno. Smooth recovery, fewer mood swings.

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)

The heavy artillery of recovery. Mimics LH, directly stimulating testicular function — perfect during or right after long suppressive cycles.

Next up, the ones you’re supposed to take ON cycle:

Aromasin (Exemestane)

Powerful Aromatase Inhibitor (AI) that controls estrogen levels post-cycle. Helps dry out the physique and maintain definition.

Arimidex (Anastrozole) & Femara (Letrozole)

Both AI compounds that stop excess estrogen conversion — ideal if you’re prone to water retention or puffiness.

Pramipexole / Cabergoline

Used to manage prolactin from compounds like Trenbolone or Deca. Keeps libido strong and prevents emotional flatlining.

And finally, secondary and more targeted, situational support gear: 

• Accutane: keeps skin clear post-cycle;
• Telmisartan: controls blood pressure;
• Finasteride / Dutasteride: protects hair and prostate;
• DHEA, Kisspeptin, Gonadorelin: restore hormonal sensitivity and general vitality.

Keep in mind that hCG is a bit tricky: you start it ON cycle and run it with PCT as well. Check our blog to get all the details of HCG use for testosterone levels improvement.

When to Start PCT

Timing depends on your cycle type:

• Orals: Start 2-3 days after your last dose;
• Short-ester injectables (Propionate, Acetate): Start 3-5 days after;
• Long-ester injectables (Enanthate, Deca): Wait 2 weeks before beginning PCT.

A standard PCT runs 4-6 weeks, with daily Clomid and/or Nolvadex, plus AI support if estrogen rebound occurs.

If your cycle included Tren, Deca, or high-test doses, adding HCG and a dopamine agonist (Cabergoline/Prami) is smart insurance.

Don’t think of PCT as the end of the cycle — it’s the start of your next one. Recover right, and every future run becomes more effective.

PCT FAQ (2025’s new developments included)

Do I really need PCT after SARMs or peptides?

Yes — SARMs can still suppress natural testosterone, especially RAD-140 or YK-11. A light PCT with Clomid or Nolvadex is recommended.

How long should I run PCT?

Usually 4 to 6 weeks. Heavier cycles may require 8 weeks or a short HCG phase before starting.

Do I need an estrogen blocker after every cycle?

If you used any compound that aromatizes into estrogen (Testosterone, Dianabol, etc.) — absolutely. Keep Aromasin or Arimidex on hand.

Can I use herbal PCT instead?

You can — but don’t expect it to work. Over-the-counter “test boosters” are too weak to recover true hormonal suppression. Use pharma-grade compounds or don’t bother.
