Red PCT Review Contents

With the recent media attention being given to the plummeting testosterone levels of men around the United States, there has been an explosion in sales for natural testosterone boosters. Naturally, the supplement industry has taken advantage of this interest, pumping out dozens of new brands of supposed effective t-boosters. Red PCT is one such recent addition to the bandwagon of test boosters.

Used as a post-cycle therapy supplement or as a standalone testosterone booster, Red PCT claims to be able to pump up those t-levels while kicking estrogen to the curb. Is it all it’s cracked up to be? Let’s take a look at whether Red PCT is the real deal or not.

What is Red PCT?

Red PCT is a two-in-one supplement: First, it prides itself on being an ideal post-cycle therapy supplement. This means you can take it after a cycle of pro-hormones or select SARMs to allow your natural levels of testosterone to be restored without estrogen dominance.

If you’re not planning on using any prohormones, Red PCT can also be used as a natural testosterone booster. The supplement claims that it can do the following:

• Increases testosterone
• Decreases estrogen
• Decreases cortisol
• Promotes lean mass gains
• Increases metabolism
• Protects the liver
• Increases libido
• Improves sleep quality
• Improves sense of well-being

How it Works

Red PCT contains a proprietary blend of three ingredients that have long been associated with sexual health, testosterone, and weight lifting:

Androsta 3, 5-diene-7, 17-dione: More commonly branded as Arimistane, this aromatase inhibitor superstar ingredient is found in most respected over-the-counter testosterone support supplements.

N-Acetyl L-Cysteine: Coming from the amino acid L-cysteine, NAC is used for a variety of medical purposes including chronic bronchitis, but it has also found a home in the supplement industry as a test booster.

Chlorophytum Borivilianum: An Indian herbal remedy referred to as Safed Musli, CB is found in many libido boosters, but it also has a reputation for increasing natural levels of growth hormone.

What the Research Says about Red PCT

Since there are no actual studies on the Red PCT supplement, we’ll have to dive into the individual ingredients and see what science has revealed about each.

Arimistane (Androst 3, 5-diene-7, 17-dione)

Arimistane is categorized as an aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase is a naturally-occurring compound in the human body responsible for estrogen production.

Let’s say that you just finished a pro-hormone cycle: Your natural testosterone production will be dramatically decreased or shut down due to the high levels of test from the supplement. Once you stop your cycle of the pro-hormone, your testosterone levels are going to remain low but your estrogen levels will be looking to compensate.

This is where a PCT (post-cycle therapy) supplement comes into play. Arimistane has been shown to allow your natural testosterone production to bounce back from the pro-hormone while keeping estrogen levels down.

If you have low testosterone levels, Arimistane can help as well. It’s been shown in several studies to promote testosterone production while keeping estrogen to a minimum.

Chlorophytum Borivilianum

This herbal extract has been used for men’s sexual health for many years. It’s been shown to dramatically improve semen quality and quantity.

Other studies have suggested that it can be used as a libido booster, helping to improve the sex drive of men who suffer from a lack of interest. It might also help with pre-mature ejaculation.

Sounds great for the bedroom but what about overall testosterone levels? In both of the studies mentioned above, all subjects supplementing with chlorophytum borivilianum saw an improvement in circulating testosterone levels.

As to the reports of increased growth hormone levels, these appear to be true. A study published in Nutrition and Metabolic Insights confirmed that exercise-trained men saw a boost in testosterone levels; however, this is one catch: the supplement was CB mixed with Velvet Bean.

N-Acetyl L-Cysteine

NAC is a fascinating ingredient. It’s based on a simple amino acid and yet, you can find it being commonly used for over a dozen medical issues including anxiety, liver toxicity, and the common cold. What about the benefits as they relate to fitness and testosterone?

One study had infertile men supplementing with NAC. The results? Better sperm quality, higher sperm numbers, and an increase in serum testosterone levels.

Another study published in Aging put NAC up against SkQ1 to see which would be better at improving testosterone levels, DHEA, and growth hormone. SkQ1 won by a landslide; however, NAC still showed promising results. The catch is that this was an animal-based study.

Potential Side Effects of Red PCT

The Red PCT website doesn’t explicitly state there are side effects; however, from the ingredients used, we can err on the side of caution and say there is a chance for the following:

• Bloating
• Headache
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea

Let’s talk about sleep for a moment: Despite claims that Red PCT will improve your sleep, it’s a well-known fact that increased testosterone levels are linked with sleeping issues. This is why many men who undergo testosterone replacement therapy complain about not being able to sleep. Sure, the chance might be low but it’s still there.

Best Way to Use Red PCT

According to the package, you’ll want to take Red PCT three times per day – not to exceed four capsules per day. Here’s a simple breakdown:

Morning: One capsule

Afternoon: One capsule

Evening: One capsule

Red PCT can be taken with or without food. If you have a sensitive stomach, I’d recommend taking it with a meal.

You can safely use Red PCT for up to eight weeks. Make sure that once you finish a cycle of Red PCT that you take four weeks off from it or any other testosterone booster.

Stacking Method

Red PCT is an excellent option to stack with two other types of supplements: other natural test boosters and pro-hormones.

Natural Testosterone Boosters

As a relatively side-effect free supplement, Red PCT can be combined with other natural test boosters. It works so well because it doesn’t just promote testosterone production, but it also keeps estrogen levels down allowing you to remain worry free about gyno-based side effects.

Some popular supplements that you can stack with Red PCT include the following:

• Testofuel
• Prime Male
• Testoroxyn
• Laxogenin

Pro-hormones

A post-cycle therapy supplement is a natural part of any pro-hormone cycle. The idea behind the PCT, as mentioned above, is to allow your natural testosterone levels to stabilize without estrogen going crazy. What’s more, a PCT is also needed to help your liver detox after the chemicals from the pro-hormones; some of which can be really harsh on your organs.

Red PCT can be taken immediately following a pro-hormone cycle. Depending on the strength of the pro-hormone, you should take Red PCT between four to eight weeks. The stronger the pro-hormone, the longer you’ll need Red PCT.

My Personal Results

So I finally got a chance to test out Red PCT, and I gotta say I’m a bit torn.

For the first few days, I only took 2 capsules spread throughout the day.

My rationale behind this was, if I was going to get some sort of allergic / bad reaction from it, I wanted to minimize it as much as possible.

Morning Wood

Generally speaking, most guys in their 20’s and early 30’s wake up with a boner first thing in the AM.

The reason behind this has to do with a norepinephrine decrease and a testosterone relate surge.

I read through countless Red PCT reviews on forums, and morning wood was one of the most common themes I kept coming across.

The first morning the day after I took my first dose, I woke up with a raging hardon.

Now, it’s not the first time in recent months that I’ve had morning wood.

But normally the morning wood is only flying at half staff.

This was a full on erection like I was 18 years old again.

What was strange though was that, throughout my entire month of taking Red PCT, I only woke up with a boner like 5 or 6 times.

Body Composition

Throughout my Red PCT experiment, I didn’t change anything as far as gym-time or intensity.

I wanted to see if I could keep up with my current weight lifting / cardio regiment and see if Red-PCT would make a noticeable difference.

First week, I didn’t notice anything.

Right around the end of the 2nd week, “I” still didn’t notice anything.

However, “I” look at myself in the mirror everyday.

So it can be tough to see any discernible difference.

On that note, I did have a few of my friends out on the volleyball court make some comments.

Things like “damn man, you been working out?” as if I didn’t work out before 🙂

Sleep

This is where I felt the biggest difference.

Normally I’m a terrible sleeper.  I’ll fall asleep fast, but will usually only get about 5-6 hours straight until I wake up the first time.

Then I’ll get up, take a piss, and then kind of just lay there for 30 min.

Sometimes I’ll fall back asleep easily, sometimes I’ll just end up wide awake.

Not with Red PCT.

After a week of taking it, I was sleeping like 7 – 8 hours STRAIGHT.

Didn’t wake up once.

As a result, I was definitely noticing gains in energy and alertness.

Energy / Improved Mood

One thing I noticed from the improved sleep quality was my overall mood / energy levels throughout the day.

Normally I wake up feeling alert for most of the morning / early afternoon, but right after lunch I’ll get the usual “2:30” crash.

I still got the crash, but it wasn’t NEARLY as bad as it usually is.

Typically I would take a 20 min nap and be ready to go as soon as I got up.

Before, those 20 min. naps would normally turn in to 1 hour and 20 minute naps.

Conclusion

Red PCT is a straight-to-the-point testosterone booster that can also be used as an effective recovery agent after a round of aggressive pro-hormones. It’s clear that Arimistane is leading the way in terms of scientific backing, but NAC and CB have also shown positive results.

Together, these three ingredients might be a natural and affordable way to safely increase testosterone levels. For all of the positive effects on overall positive male health, Red PCT is not only worth giving a try, but I would say it is worth sticking with.

As far as my personal results, for the price I think Red PCT is worth it.

Is it a miracle testosterone boosting supplement? 

Not by a long shot.

However, if you’re looking for mild benefits without the side effects of traditional Testosterone Replacement Therapy or SARMS, this is definitely the way to go.
