PCT is required after a prohormone cycle to kick start your natural testosterone production. Prohormones can shut down your natural production of testosterone and a PCT is important to help get your testosterone levels to normal.
Without a PCT you can get water retention, gynecomastia, and even an enlargement of the prostate. These supplements help suppress the body's estrogen production, a must when taking a Prohormone. Here is a list.

A testosterone booster helps your body naturally increase its own productions of the hormone testosterone and/or block the ability of testosterone converting to estrogen. A natural testosterone booster uses herbs and botanicals to promote optimal testosterone levels which will help support your performance, strength gains, and muscle growth. Testosterone Boosters are designed to help naturally increase your body's testosterone. Testosterone Boosters can work in a couple different ways. One being that it directly increases your testosterone levels or by inhibiting and blocking the hormones responsible for converting testosterone to estrogen. Some estrogen is good, but too much can be a bad thing; Most naturally testosterone boosters can do both. Both methods will help your body to build bigger muscles and recover faster.
A prohormone adds hormones to your body by converting inactive hormones to active hormones. Increasing these hormones can help build bigger and stronger muscles. A prohormone is a non-active hormone and when it is ingested converts to a target hormone through a one or two step conversion process. These hormones are naturally occurring in the body and are safe. Each compound of a prohormone has different effects, so it depends on what results you are looking for.
