PCT is your post cycle therapy developed for minimizing estrogenic side effects while maximizing the positive muscle-building effects of testosterone. PCT works by increasing the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary, and event that is usually stimulated at the onset of puberty. The result of higher LH levels leads to an increase in the production of your testosterone by the Leydig cells of the testes, and thus better muscle gains through your post-cycle therapy as your natural testosterone production recovers.
