Prohormones and Testosterone – Is It Safe?

These days, many men are using testosterone as a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). If you are using testosterone such as testosterone Cypionate or Androgel and you are interested in using prohormones, you may be curious as to their interaction and overall safety.

Testosterone Therapy Testosterone Cypionate is a popular choice for testosterone replacement therapy.

Basically, supplementing an exogenous (outside) form of testosterone just replaces what your body should be producing internally. Physiologically, there is very little difference in someone supplementing testosterone, and someone who produces healthy levels of testosterone naturally. For this reason, it should be safe to take prohormones even if you are using testosterone therapy as well.

In fact, one of the side effects that is possible with prohormones is that your body shuts down its own production of testosterone. This is one of the reasons why proper PCT using a test booster is so important. If you are supplementing with exogenous testosterone, this shutdown doesn’t occur, which actually reduces the potential side effects which go along with gonadal shutdown (loss of libido, etc.)

That being said, it is still necessary to use PCT even if you are using prohormones with testosterone. Estrogen rebound is still a concern, and Post-Cycle Therapy addresses this by keeping estrogen levels in check.I specifically recommend 6-Bromo to combat estrogen rebound. One difference is that a test booster isn’t necessary for PCT if you will be staying on the testosterone supplement.

In short, taking testosterone and prohormones should be safe and very effective. You will probably get even better results from your prohormone cycle because your testosterone levels will stay consistent throughout the cycle. Take PCT as normal after your prohormone cycle and you should get excellent results with minimal to no side effects.
