Full Post:
## Do I Need PCT After Ostarine? Short answer: Probably yes, depending on the dose and cycle length. Let’s break it down: ### Dosage + Duration = Key - <10 mg/day for 4 weeks? - You might skip PCT. Some first-time users bounce back fine. - 10–20 mg/day for 6–8 weeks? - Most logs show measurable suppression. - Bloodwork confirms drops in total/free T, LH/FSH. - In this case, yes — you need a PCT. - 20–25 mg+ or longer than 8 weeks? - 100% suppression risk. - Users report low libido, fatigue, and mood drops — classic shutdown symptoms. ### Common PCT Protocols for Ostarine - Light SERM PCT (if symptoms or confirmed suppression): - Nolvadex: 20/20/10/10 (mg per day, week by week) - OR - Clomid: 25/25/25/25 You don’t need a hardcore PCT like a tren cycle, but skipping it can delay recovery and kill gains post-cycle. ### But What About “It’s Mild” Claims? - Ostarine is often labeled "non-suppressive," but that’s outdated BS. - Even at 3 mg/day in clinical trials, testosterone dropped significantly. - Reddit logs and blood tests show suppression is real, especially with >10mg or longer cycles. ### Best Practice? - Always get pre/post bloodwork (total T, free T, LH/FSH, lipids, liver enzymes). - Don’t assume you “feel fine” equals recovery — you might not be. - Keep SERM on hand before starting the cycle.
