Seeing every supplement brand drop new “PCT support” stacks loaded with herbs, DAA, and other “test boosters.” Anyone actually feel a difference from those, or is it just smart branding while the real recovery still comes from proper SERMs like Nolva or Clomid?
Mostly hype, bro. SERMs do the heavy lifting.
The over-the-counter “PCT” bottles might help a bit with mood or libido, but they don’t restart natural testosterone production. Think of them more as support, not recovery. You still need Nolva or Clomid if you ran a real cycle.
Tried a few “test booster” blends post-cycle. Maybe felt a little better, but bloodwork didn’t change much. Not worth the $60+ price tag IMO.
If you didn’t suppress your natural test hard (like from SARMs or a mild run), some OTC boosters can help ease the transition. But if you were on real gear, nah only SERMs bring levels back up properly.
Yeah that’s what I figured. Some of these new PCT stacks are marketed like they replace Nolva entirely. Sounds like a money grab.
Exactly. Supplements = support. SERMs = recovery. Big difference.
There’s some small benefit from ingredients like tongkat ali or fadogia, but nothing clinically proven for post-cycle hormone restoration. Use them as add-ons, not replacements.
Used “natural PCT” once after an ostarine run felt fine. But I think that’s because it was a light cycle. Wouldn’t risk it for anything stronger.
Got it. Appreciate the insight guys sticking with proper PCT next time and maybe toss in a mild natural support stack.
