Nolvadex Post Cycle

A Nolvadex post cycle plan is one of the most common Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plans among avid performance enhancers. For many performance enhancers a Nolvadex post cycle plan can be all the difference in preserving gains made while on-cycle and losing the vast majority of them and if youre losing all your gains this can be quite depressing. While preserving gains is a welcomed trait the most important factor revolving around a Nolvadex post cycle plan is simply our health. When we supplement with anabolic androgenic steroids our natural testosterone production is suppressed. This suppression will occur in all who supplement regardless of how genetically superior we may be and various steroids will be more suppressive than others; never the less suppression will occur. This suppression is why most will always include testosterone in all of their cycles but once the cycle is complete there will be inadequate levels of the hormone present in the body. Due to this inadequate level gains can be lost and as testosterone is essential to our health many other consequences can occur. For these reasons we want to do all we can to stimulate natural testosterone production as quickly and as efficiently as we can and a Nolvadex post cycle plan can greatly promote this end.

By its nature Nolvadex greatly stimulates the release of the pituitary produced hormones LH and FSH; both essential to testosterone production with a strong emphasis on LH. As these hormones are released they signal to the testicles to once again produce testosterone; without the presence of LH and FSH no testosterone production will occur. Of course the obvious question is how much Nolvadex post cycle therapy do you need to achieve this end and the answer is twofold. To begin you need to supplement with an adequate dose and you need to ensure you supplement long enough to reap a positive reward.

Most performance enhancers will find a Nolvadex post cycle plan that extends to 4-5 weeks to be sufficient with some needing an additional week but 4-5 weeks is a good rule of thumb. Regardless of time frame most will find a dosing of 40mg per day for a couple of weeks followed by a dosing of 20mg per day for a couple weeks to be all the Nolvadex post cycle therapy they need.

It is very important to note that while a solid Nolvadex post cycle plan will stimulate natural testosterone production it will not return your levels back to normal all on its own. Anabolic steroids are very suppressive to natural testosterone production and as such it can take several months to fully recover even after a solid PCT plan. Of course you shouldnt let this depress you; although a full recovery may take several months it can take up to a year without a solid PCT plan and as a Nolvadex post cycle plan is so highly effective it is worth the time and effort.

While a basic Nolvadex post cycle therapy plan will do wonders we can enhance this plan and greatly improve recovery by adding in the powerful peptide hormone hCG. hCG by mimicking effect will greatly increase testosterone production by signaling to the testicles that LH and FSH have been released; in-fact, this addition to the Nolvadex post cycle therapy plan may be accurately labeled invaluable. If you decide to add hCG to your Nolvadex post cycle plan you will do so before the Nolvadex therapy begins. Generally 10 days of hCG use prior to Nolvadex use at a dosing of 500iu-1,000iu per day depending on need will suffice.

For those that choose the Nolvadex path you will want to time your use. If your anabolic steroid cycle ends with all short ester base steroids you will begin your Nolvadex post cycle plan 2-3 days after all anabolic steroids have been discontinued. If you are going to add hCG to the equation you will begin hCG use immediately after all anabolic steroids have been discontinued and begin Nolvadex therapy once hCG use is complete. If your anabolic steroid cycle ends will any long ester base steroids you will begin Nolvadex post cycle therapy 2-3 weeks after all anabolic steroids have been discontinued. If you add hCG to the equation you will begin hCG use 10 days after all anabolic steroids have been discontinued and begin Nolvadex therapy once hCG use is complete.
