You definitely need to cycle this, and any other similar product. I took 1-AD for 3 months straight at 9 to 15 pills per day and actually had pretty respectable results from it. It was nothing like what you hear from actual anabolic steroids, however, I got much bigger (and stronger) than if I hadn't taken it. As far as what to take to get you back to normal, I'm not sure. I happen to have some blood work done at the end of that 3 months and my Test, LH and FSH were unbelieveably low. A friend of mine helped me out with some HCG and that apparently got me back to normal. HCG is easy enough to get and take so I would definitely take the 1-AD again, I thought it was good stuff.
