PCT stands for Post Cycle Therapy. It is a process that some bodybuilders go through after completing a cycle of anabolic steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). The goal of PCT is to help the body recover its natural testosterone production and minimize the potential negative side effects that can occur after using steroids.

During a steroid cycle, the body’s natural production of testosterone is suppressed, and the use of PCT drugs can help to restart this production. These drugs can include SERMs (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators) like Clomid or Nolvadex, which can help block estrogen production and stimulate the pituitary gland to release more luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which can lead to increased testosterone production.
