Testosterone Cycling

Meaning

Testosterone cycling is a protocol in which exogenous testosterone or testosterone-stimulating agents are administered for a defined period, followed by a period of cessation or reduced dosage. This approach is often employed in non-clinical settings to maximize anabolic effects while attempting to mitigate long-term side effects or dependence. In clinical endocrinology, the practice is typically discouraged due to the risks associated with abrupt hormonal fluctuations.
