HCG - Gonadotropin

General Info

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone often used by athletes in bodybuilding to prevent testicular atrophy and as a component of PCT. It is a popular post-cycle anabolic steroid remedy that has proven efficacy and popularity.

HCG is the same as synthetic testosterone compared to natural testosterone, only mimicking luteinizing hormone. (LH), which signals the testes to produce testosterone. The use of hCG is intended to restore LH levels and in the resumption of the production of its own testosterone. The remedy has helped many athletes to return to their normal levels and become resistant after stopping taking hCG.

It is a safe drug that is great for eliminating some steroid side effects. Chorionic gonadotropin will be especially effective when the cycle is longer than 6 weeks, or when using high steroid doses. Also, it has the ability to greatly maintain muscle gains during weight loss.

Characteristics

• Classification: LEUTENIZING HORMONE (LH)-GONADOTROPIN
• Active Half-life: 64 hours
• Dosage: 250-2000 IU

Benefits

• Increases the secretion of sex hormones, thereby used to prevent testicular atrophy.
• It is often used as a component of PCT to eliminate the side effects after an anabolic steroid cycle.
• Used for weight loss, to preserve muscle mass (gonadotropin helps to control fat consumption). By consuming enough protein and vitamins, and following a strict diet and exercise regimen, you will achieve excellent results.
• Increases testosterone synthesis.
• Maintains the gained volume of muscle mass.
• Enhances the action of anabolic steroids.

Administration & Dosage

The substance is administered intramuscularly. Use 22g-25g syringes with a needle 1-1.5 inch long for intramuscular injections.

The dosage will depend on how low were your testosterone levels while taking anabolic steroids. The dosage can range from 250 to 2000 IU per week.

The drug is usually used when your anabolic steroid cycle is longer than 6 weeks (8-12 weeks), or when you have 2 or more drugs in your cycle. Then, do 2 injections of gonadotropin per week, at 250-500 IU for the last 3-5 weeks of the cycle to prevent testicular atrophy.

If you have not used HCG during your hard steroid cycle, then use it as a component of PCT. Inject 2000 IU each other day for 20 days. Athletes who use HCG to restore optimal LH levels will typically consume 2500 IU per week for just 2 weeks.

HCG is known to cause gynecomastia at high doses, so it is often recommended to add an aromatase inhibitor. It will prevent such effects and will allow the user to stimulate LH and testosterone production without this additional risk. (choose between Letrozole, Aromasin, Anastrozole)

Side Effects

The substance does not cause any serious side effects. However, with the wrong dosage, it can cause effects similar to testosterone: gynecomastia or water retention.

These effects can occur in very rare cases when you use the drug for weight loss. If you use it in terms of PCT, then you will not have any side effects. To precisely avoid this possible effect, use aromatase inhibitions (Letrozole, Aromasin, or Anastrozole) along with HCG.
