First Osta Cycle Advice

Hey everyone,

I’m plan to start my solo cycle of Osta and would like some advice as far as the pct goes. I know some people say that one is not even required but with this being my first cycle of anything I wanna be on the safe side. I already have a bottle of Sup3r PCT but I’ve heard of some people running HCGenerate alongside Osta for the full cycle. Is this something you all would recommend? Or will the sup3r pct be enough?
 
Also if there is any additional advice you all could provide or things that you wish you would have known on your first cycle that would be appreciated as well!
 
Osta is suppressive - you need to run a SERM (clomid or nolva). An OTC PCT is not enough as it does not contain a SERM. Their are hundreds of threads that ask the same question - and on this forum - you will be advised a least 90% of the time that you need to run a SERM. Black Lion Research Vector is stronger than Osta and is all natural (no PCT needed) and can be run year around if you want. Maybe that would be a better choice?
 
My advice would be to load up on liver support. I only made it two weeks on a low dose of osta because it actually caused pain around my liver. Check around the forum here and you will see that everyone who ran osta and got blood work after had ridiculously high liver enzymes. The results were scary but most people’s livers heal in a few weeks after the cycle.

TUDCA
NAC
Milk Thistle
Choline inositol (post cycle)

At least take some of the above to protect your liver.

And everyone here will suggest a SERM for pct because you will be completely shut down, or very close to it. Few people experience symptoms of shut down from osta for some reason but a proper pct should be used in case you don’t naturally rebound.
 
I’ve read up too much on osta indicating that it is in fact suppressive (bad sometimes) on some individuals and does actually have an effect on lipids.

I would treat this cycle as a PH cycle to be safe( but then again I’ve been told with my 11 oxo run I’m going overboard but I’d always rather be safe then sorry)

On cycle support + serm pct

Maybe even have an Ai on hand if needed
 
What are you trying to accomplish? There are better SARMs than Osta.. And there are prohormones that can still be bought legally that would blow any SARM out of the water

How old are you?
Ostarine can produce decent gains.
I'd say its weak for gaining massive strength or if your looking to go up a shirt size.
But it makes you feel good.
Gives you an ON feeling.
You should At least run rebirth after because its suppressive.
As time goes on we are hearing more about it causing liver stress in some cases.
But on paper it shouldn't.
If your older I would use a real SERM after.

You need to be prepared for a negatively effected sex drive.
Test base of some kind helps.
 
OP Im at the end of my 3rd week. Can't give you any feedback but definitely have a SERM on hand. Probably and hopefully you've been all over the web from forum to forum researching. Unfortunately, you will get both sides of the spectrum on Osta. Be on the side of caution and have the SERM and liver support. Im glad I ended up here on AM and while Osta isnt the most popular thing to run, i've still received great advice from a few members here.

I got mine from EA around the same time. YoungThor mentioned in his cycle log that he was a heavy beer drinker, perhaps while there may be some liver toxicity with Osta, having a fatty liver to begin with may be a factor?

At the end of week 3 (on EA Osta). So far so good...
 
Hey guys, I’m 20, 6’0 196lbs. I’m on a cut right now. I have been all over many forums reading peoples experiences and advice. I’ll probably have a SERM on hand just in case as I don’t know how suppressive it will be.

Haha that is correct. I’m not a raging alcoholic or anything but I end most days with a couple beers and get drunk about once a week. So I may have went into the cycle with a weak liver. I cut my drinking way back on cycle though. But either way it is in fact liver toxic. So take the necessary precautions.
 
I didn’t realize you’re only 20. Osta, at best, will help you gain around 5 pounds, which you may not keep after pct. Is shutting down your natural hormones, messing with your cholesterol, potentially damaging your liver (at least temporarily), and if your one of the unlucky sensitive few, experiencing hair thinning, is all that worth 2-5 pounds? You can easily gain that same amount, or more, in the amount of time your planning on running this cycle.

In spite of all the risks, I’m sure you’ll likely do it anyway. So maybe look into a compound that has the same or less risks involved but offers greater gain. Then at least the results might be worth the suffering you may face, like being 20 years old but not having the ability to maintain a hard on (not common with osta but possible).

This is not meant to be fearmongering. I made the mistake of wasting money on this stuff and learned later that this is one of the worst compounds in terms of risk vs reward. There are oral AAS cycles that are likely more worth the time.
 
Wait. Full Stop.

You are not 21.
Read the rules.

No Anabolic talkie talkie until 21.
 
My enzymes were 8x above normal with 25mg osta. Now I'm on an andro stack, Cerberus v2 4 pills a day. My enzymes are only 50% over upper limit. So this is just for comparison. My liver is okey, osta was bad.
