How to Run a Turkesterone Cycle (Without Wasting Your Time)
Why People Ask About a Turkesterone Cycle
If you’ve just picked up a bottle of turkesterone, your first question is probably: how long should I take this?
The truth is, turkesterone isn’t a steroid. It doesn’t mess with your hormones, so you don’t need a post-cycle therapy (PCT). But there’s still value in running it in “cycles” or structured periods of use with breaks in between, to see if it’s actually working for you.
What Is a Turkesterone Cycle?
A turkesterone cycle is a set timeframe where you take a consistent daily dose, usually between 8–12 weeks, then pause for a few weeks before starting again.
Direct answer: A typical turkesterone cycle is 8–12 weeks of daily use, followed by a short break (2–4 weeks) to evaluate results and reset.
How Long Should You Take Turkesterone?
Most experienced lifters run:
- 8-week cycle – Good for first-timers. See how your body responds.
- 12-week cycle – Ideal for progressive overload phases when you’re pushing hard in the gym.
- 4-week break – Lets you check if gains hold after stopping.
Unlike steroids, you can technically take turkesterone year-round. But cycling keeps you honest. You can measure if it’s really helping or if you’re just getting stronger from training alone.
How Much Should You Take?
Most research and anecdotal reports land around 500–1000mg per day of a standardised 10% extract.
Here’s what works for most people:
- Beginner dose: 500mg per day (start here if it’s your first run)
- Experienced lifters: 1000mg per day, split AM/PM
- Take with food: Helps absorption and avoids stomach upset
If you’re using LockedIn Turkesterone 500mg, start with one capsule a day. If you feel good after the first couple of weeks, bump to two capsules (morning and evening).
Do You Need a PCT After a Turkesterone Cycle?
No. Turkesterone is non-hormonal, so there’s no suppression of testosterone and no need for a recovery protocol.
How to Tell If Your Cycle Is Working
Track more than just weight on the bar. Look at:
- Strength progression
- Muscle fullness
- Recovery time between sessions
- DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) levels
- Body weight & composition
Keep notes in a simple training log or spreadsheet. This is the easiest way to spot real changes.
Running a turkesterone cycle is simple: take it daily for 8–12 weeks, then take a short break. No complicated PCT, no hormonal rollercoaster.
If you want to try it for yourself, LockedIn Turkesterone gives you a clean, standardised extract at the right dose, so you can see if it really moves the needle.
