Anabolic Xtreme Advanced PCT 90 Capsules
Anabolic Xtreme's Advanced PCT was designed to restore the delicate hormonal balance and prevent muscle loss after any hormonal anabolic cycle.
FACT: Your hormones are completely out of
balance during and after any anabolic cycle, and in many cases your
body is no longer producing normal levels of its own natural
testosterone potentially leading to losses in muscle and libido.
This imbalance is actually a good thing while on cycle, as it
indicates the cycle is probably working to promote muscle gain! But
after the cycle, the lack of natural testosterone production is one of
the biggest reasons people lose their hard earned gains and may have a
difficult time promptly recovering their libido. Advanced PCT is
designed for one purpose, to get your testosterone back to normal and
natural production as quickly yet gently as possible.
The common post cycle advice is to jack up natural testosterone
levels by squashing estrogen production/conversion. This fails to
recognize that hormone levels are in a very dynamic balance, regulated
by complex mechanisms, and that every change in hormone status has an
inverse and sometimes drastic reaction. Advanced PCT was designed by
looking at the complete picture of the body's reaction at the end of a
hormonal muscle building cycle to create a product that greatly assists
the body in returning to its self-regulating, delicate hormonal balance
to minimize muscle loss and estrogen related side effects.
When you take any externally supplied hormone, it will cause a
positive imbalance of your body's natural hormones while on cycle and a
negative imbalance when transitioning off cycle. To understand how
important and absolutely necessary PCT is to any hormonal cycle we need
to briefly understand what happens in the body while on cycle. The
purpose in taking any pro-hormone, steroid, or hormone is to cause
protein synthesis by directly activating androgen receptors.
Testosterone is the natural key to unlocking these powerful receptors,
but other synthetic or naturally occurring compounds have been found to
do this quite successfully. Most work by either directly converting to
testosterone or are chemically very similar to testosterone in
structure, which means they also participate in the body's natural self
regulation of testosterone production.
The body produces various hormones (testosterone activators), that
cause testosterone to be secreted, while at the same time the
testosterone itself stops or slows the production of these hormones.
The end result is a perfect balance of testosterone levels. So when we
introduce an external testosterone or testosterone equivalent, those
activators stop producing for awhile, thus significantly reducing
natural testosterone secretion. So in reality, when you quit your
cycle, what your body immediately needs is to quickly start producing
these testosterone activators more than anything because they control
the release of testosterone. They are the gate keepers! But, this is
only part of the equation.
Hormone levels want to be in a precise balance, which includes the
testosterone /estrogen balance. Many pro-hormones claim that their
products cannot aromatize, thus leading you to a conclusion that you do
not need to worry about estrogen. However, the body wants to be in
balance and when the testosterone levels skyrocket while on-cycle you
must recognize that your body reacts to create balance by increasing
natural estrogen production. Excess estrogen can interrupt the
production of testosterone and cause unwanted effects in healthy males.
Again the key is balance and your body needs some estrogen. Many
commonly used post cycle products work by completely eradicating
estrogen from the body. This is far from supporting the delicate
balance in the body. Choose a product that will get you back to normal,
safely and quickly. Choose a product that focuses on the whole picture
to avoid other negative reactions. Choose Anabolic Xtreme Advanced PCT.
Cordyceps Extract - This powerful extract has been
demonstrated to increase LH which is one of the testosterone activators
that is directly related to secretion of testosterone from the testes.
It has traditionally been used for the enhancement on sexual
performance in China for many centuries, which means that your libido
gets a boost as well. Our extract is one of a kind and very potent,
containing almost three times more active constituents than the widely
used (7% active) commercial extract!
L-Histadine – To compliment the increase of LH
production from the Cordyceps, this compound acts to increase the
responsiveness of the Leydig cells which use the LH to produce
testosterone. These two components work together to jumpstart the
Testosterone Feedback Loop back into production and finding your body's
delicate balance. L-Histadine is a direct precursor to histamine which
is an important component in the production of the testosterone
activators and has been shown to increase the responsiveness of Leydig
cells. (*note - anti-histamines, commonly used for seasonal
allergy and illness, lower testosterone levels by an inverse mechanism
and should be avoided during PCT when possible.)
Grape Seed Extract – The first of a two-pronged
approach to controlling estrogen. Grape seeds contain Procyanidin
Dimmers which act to slow the mechanism of the conversion process10 of
androgens to estrogen (aromatization). Control, not eradication of
estrogen, is important when coming off a cycle and this grape seed
extract will slow the process down to normal levels. The grape seed
extract works synergistically with the 6-Bromodione to normalize
estrogen levels. The extract that we use is very potent and contains
not less than 95% PCO content! Grape Seed is also a fantastic
anti-oxidant, almost 30x more effective than vitamin C.
6-Bromodione – Excess estrogen is a huge problem
post cycle which is ultimately affected by the increase in aromatase
enzymes that the body produces in response to an increase in androgens
while on cycle. Whether the product that you took can convert to
estrogen or not, this excess aromatase will affect the natural
testosterone production that we are trying to jumpstart. Without
controlling the excess aromatase, as your natural testosterone
production increases, it will be bombarded with aromatase and convert
to estrogen. 6-Bromodione binds to the aromatase enzyme making it
unable to convert androgens to estrogen. Advanced PCT contains two
separate forms (isomers) that work to control and normalize estrogen
and aromatase levels.
1) 6-alpha-Bromodione is a fast acting competitive
inhibitor of the aromatase enzyme. It works by binding to the aromatase
enzyme to prevent it from aromatizing androgens. This is not a
permanent binding and later acts to normalize aromatase (and thus
estrogen levels) as hormone production returns to normal. It
specifically targets aromatase and does not act as a central
anti-androgen like some other post cycle products can. This means that
your libido and mood will not be negatively affected.
2) 6-beta-Bromodione works in a similar way but has an
irreversible and permanent effect. This works well to mediate the
excess aromatase that was produced while on cycle, while the alpha
isomer works to normalize the natural levels. The goal is again to
transition into normal production levels for all hormones affected by
the anabolic cycle.
Every ingredient was carefully researched, tested, and integrated in
precise ratios to create the new standard for post cycle therapy
products. Advanced PCT will propel your hormones back to healthy levels
quickly, allowing you to keep those hard earned gains and avoid the
effects of the body's reaction to the end of an anabolic cycle.

General Precautions and Considerations
It is not
uncommon for novice users to enjoy the benefits of an anabolic cycle to
the point that they don't want to stop. It is very important for you to
give your body a chance to recover and return to normal hormonal
production before starting an additional cycle. As with any product
that affects hormone levels you want to give your body a break and
Advanced PCT is no exception. The product is designed to assist your
body in returning to normal hormonal balance. After that is
accomplished, typically four weeks, we recommend refraining from taking
any hormonal affecting products for at least one month.
