PCT for TRT

The plan when getting on TRT is not to take it as a cycle. You should only take TRT as a last resort if you canu2019t naturally produce enough testosterone or if your body doesnu2019t respond to natural production, and in those cases, TRT should be a long-term treatment plan. As such, PCT is not necessary for TRT because you arenu2019t cycling off of it.
