Epiandrosterone PCT? Does it Cause Suppression?

[DirtyWilly]

Does epiandrosterone require a PCT? Importantly, does it cause suppression?

All of the supplement companies recommend a PCT after anything hormonal but this seems more like a blanket generic statement now. If anything wouldn't epiandrosterone make a great compliment during PCT? Improves libido, lethargy/drive, generally reduces estrogen, aren't these good qualities of a PCT? Unless it's suppressive?

you really dont need a pct with it, maybe something like nolvadren or elimistane but thats just to keep the dry ripped look is what i do.

It definitely IS suppressive. Not nearly as much as the harder compounds but it certainly is.

I would also recommend a SERM PCT just to be safe.

Epiandro converts to DHT leading to high androgen levels in the body. The negative feedback leads the body to produce less - suppression.

Good to know. I suppose anything that antagonizes the androgen receptor can cause feedback but I also read it does so through a different pathway so not sure about the suppression.

It's suppressive guys, converts to more than just DHT as well.

That's a good point. What else does it convert to? I thought it was just DHT and in active DHT metabolite

That's it's target hormone but just like all prohormones, there are multiple conversions. Not to mention it's a 2 step conversion so lots of time for multiple hormones to be produced.

including downstream estro metabolites... saying it doesn't convert into estrogen doesn't mean one of its metabolites cant aromatize.
