Proviron: Should it be a vital part of PCT?
What's up everybody? Happy new year to all.
From studying proviron i think it could be included in PCT. The drug has some very interesting properties that would make it a welcome addition to an aggressive PCT protocol, for example, coming of a long cycle or one that used highly HPTA suppressive drugs. (The nandrolone family)
Proviron is not liver toxic, so it can be taken for extended periods of time. This would make it useful for longer (6+wks) PCT protocols.
Proviron does not suppress lowered levels of FSH and LH, this would be a welcome trait of the drug during PCT.
Proviron has a high binding affinity to SHBG. SHBG binds to testosterone rendering it essentially useless. During PCT you'll need all the free testosterone you can get.
Proviron has been shown to exhibit anti-depressant properties. Although the doses used were high (300-450 mg daily). One could speculate the higher recommend dosages used by bodybuilders (100-150mg daily) could be used to treat post-cycle depression.
So there you have it. IMO proviron can be combined with other PCT drugs, especially after a highly suppressive AAS cycle to regain optimal HPTA function.
