SUPPRESSION AND SARMS
Suppression takes place when your pituitary glands do not produce as much Luteinizing hormone (LH)*– the hormone responsible for testosterone production by the testes. In fact, the suppression caused by anabolic steroids is so severe that your pituitary glands will cease producing almost any LH at all. On the other hand, SARMs will not affect LH levels.
Although SARMs can be somewhat suppressive, they are not even nearly as suppressive as anabolic steroids are. Certain SARMs (like ostarine) will drop LH by*only 10-20%, compared to 95% seen with anabolic steroids. Hence, as mentioned before, it can be used in PCT. Meanwhile,*such SARMs as LGD and S4 should not be used in PCT, but rather must be followed by a PCT.
WHY IS PCT NEEDED
Post cycle therapy is needed to help preserve muscle gains, keep fat away, retain strength, and maintain mood strong. Furthermore, PCT is also important when it comes to cleansing organs and providing the body with vitamins/minerals to keep it strong.
However, many athletes make the mistake of failing to run a proper PCT, which makes them quit working out during this time due to a considerably decreased motivation. Therefore, a good PCT helps you get through the period where your HPTA recovers and you start producing testosterone on your own.
THINGS TO USE FOR A SARM’S PCT:CLOMID
Some people fall into the confusion of considering Clomid to be a SARM, but it is a SERM. This means thatclomid works by blocking estrogen from going into the pituitary glands, which tricks it into producing LH and leads to increased testosterone levels
