Post Cycle Therapy Following Reductil Use
Interestingly, there isn’t any “official” documentation, nor is there any easily accessible “unofficial” (bodybuilding forums / pharmaceutical forums / independent websites) information regarding what you should do in order to safely come “off” reductil at the end of your cycle.
Arguably, you could simply cease use with immediate effect and face no adverse issues as a result. As with any exogenous hormone / compound though, this may not be the best idea.
Consider this: whenever you spike your internal levels of any hormone / enzyme / molecule or aspect of your internal functionality through the use of an external substance, your body can start to “get used” to the presence of exogenously induced activity.
When this happens, your natural homeostasis can get knocked out of sync, and your body will often as a result diminish its natural optimisation of the natural processes that are currently being replaced or interfered with by said substance.
As a result, should you simply “stop” using your chosen product, this could lead to a state of diminished internal functionality (in this instance) regarding the natural serotonin and noradrenaline cycle.
As such, it would make sense (as per using thyroid hormones / estrogen modulators) to drop the dose to a minimal level for 10 – 14 days after your last “proper” administration in order to send a clear message to the body that it would shortly need to “resume” the optimisation of its natural state.
This “mini cycle” would be easy to implement, and would be structured as follows:
Mini Reductil Post Cycle Therapy Plan
Day | Reductil |
1 | 5 mg per day |
2 | 5 mg per day |
3 | 5 mg per day |
4 | 5 mg per day |
5 | 5 mg per day |
6 | 5 mg per day |
7 | 5 mg per day |
8 | 5 mg per day |
9 | 5 mg per day |
10 | 5 mg per day |
11 | 5 mg per day |
12 | 5 mg per day |
13 | 5 mg per day |
14 | 5 mg per day |
After your last chosen day of administration (either the tenth or fourteenth day) you could then immediately cease use completely.
How To Perform Effective
Post Cycle Therapy Following
A Combined Reductil And
Steroid Cycle
When performing a combined steroid and reductil cycle as per the type included in our cycle section, it’s important that you’re able to restore your natural testosterone output.
For the reasons we previously stated in regards to administering PCT following a reductil-only cycle, using anabolic steroids suppresses your natural production of testosterone.
This necessitates unique post cycle treatment in the form of products that can restore output to its optimal organic level.
Two of the most popular variants of these product types (known as SERM’s – Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators) are Nolvadex and Clomid.
There is also another more experimental means of boosting a PCT cycle known as HCG / pregnyl. We’re first going to provide you with guidelines for administering nolvadex and clomid alongside your “scaled down” reductil dose when coming off cycle before explaining how you can implement HCG.
For Those Who Wish To Use Nolvadex
When using nolvadex with reductil following a MILD steroid cycle, implement them both as follows:
Week | Nolvadex (3 – 4 days after your last steroid administration.) | Day | Reductil (immediately post cycle.) |
1 | 30 mg per day | 1-3 | 5 mg per day |
2 | 20 mg per day | 4-6 | 5 mg per day |
3 | 10 mg per day | 7-8 | 5 mg per day |
4 | 10 mg per day | 9-10 | 5 mg per day |
When using nolvadex with reductil following a STRONG steroid cycle (as per our example cycle) implement them both as follows:
Week | Nolvadex (3 – 4 days after your last steroid administration.) | Day | Reductil (immediately post cycle.) |
1 | 20 mg per day | 1-3 | 5 mg per day |
2 | 20 mg per day | 4-6 | 5 mg per day |
3 | 10 mg per day | 7-8 | 5 mg per day |
4 | 10 mg per day | 9-10 | 5 mg per day |
For Those Who Wish To Use Clomid
If you choose to use clomid for your steroid PCT in conjunction with reductil, you need to administer them both as follows after finishing a MILD steroid cycle:
Week | Nolvadex (3 – 4 days after your last steroid administration) | Day | Reductil (immediately post cycle) |
1 | 50 mg per day | 1-3 | 5 mg per day |
2 | 50 mg per day | 4-6 | 5 mg per day |
3 | 25 mg per day | 7-8 | 5 mg per day |
4 | 25 mg per day | 9-10 | 5 mg per day |
And both products should be administered as follows after performing a STRONG steroid cycle:
Week | Nolvadex (3 – 4 days after your last steroid administration) | Day | Reductil (immediately post cycle) |
1 | 75 mg per day | 1-3 | 5 mg per day |
2 | 50 mg per day | 4-6 | 5 mg per day |
3 | 50 mg per day | 7-8 | 5 mg per day |
4 | 25 mg per day | 9-10 | 5 mg per day |
When Using HCG / Pregnyl
Pregnyl (as previously mentioned) is also a useful means of boosting the effects of your post cycle phase.
You’ll need to use HCG / Pregnyl either:
- 3-4 days after finishing a short ester based steroid cycle (as per the one in our example)
- 14-21 days after finishing a long ester based cycle
You’ll notice that both nolvadex and clomid have directions that state they must be administered 3-4 days after your last dose. This is for the above reasons.
When using HCG, you’ll need to completely finish using it whilst running your “lower” reductil dose before you can then immediately move onto using nolvadex or clomid in the manner mentioned above (although you wouldn’t need to administer reductil again – you’d have achieved internal “acclimatization” already through using it with the pregnyl.)
You also have two methods of administration for HCG, which are as follows when combined with your “diluted” reductil dose:
When Using HCG Over A 3-4 Week Period
If you’re planning to use HCG over a 3-4 week period, administer it as follows:
Week | HCG (3 – 4 days after your last steroid administration) | Day | Reductil (immediately post cycle) |
1 | 3,500 I.U. every 3 – 4 days | 1 – 3 | 5 mg per day |
2 | 2,500 I.U. every 3 – 4 days | 4-7 | 5 mg per day |
3 | 1,500 I.U. every 3 – 4 days | 8-10 | 5 mg per day |
When Using HCG Over A Sustained 10 Day Period
Day | HCG | Reductil |
1 | 1,000 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
2 | 1,000 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
3 | 1,000 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
4 | 750 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
5 | 750 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
6 | 750 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
7 | 500 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
8 | 500 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
9 | 500 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
10 | 500 I.U. per day | 5 mg per day |
Either of these means of HCG integration will work adequately for the purpose of “safe” reductil release and the elevation of testosterone levels.
Immediately following the integration of either of these mini cycles, you should then move onto using either nolvadex or clomid in the fashion previously outlined.
