Description
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) in found in both male and female’s bodies. It is a peptide hormone with a variety of functions.
In order to create the proper hormonal conditions that enable the egg to implant, it is advised that women purchase chorionic gonadotropin in the early stages of pregnancy. Gonadotropin functions in men as a type of luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulates the release of testosterone from specific cells.
As a result, after the cycle of anabolic steroids has ended, this hormone contributes to an increase in testosterone levels.
Benefits of taking HCG
HCG serves two distinct functions:
- During a steroid cycle, to lessen the effects of low testosterone.
- For the aim of starting post-cycle therapy (PCT) following a steroid cycle.
- HCG will be used in combination with other drugs if you have an issue where there is not enough testosterone.
HCG is one of the anabolic steroids that will be taken during the cycle to help manage any negative effects brought on by low testosterone levels. One or more drugs may be combined with it.
HCG is frequently combined with Clomid to initiate PCT before being eliminated from the cycle.
How to take HCG 10000IU
It is advised to stick to the lowest dose in order to prevent estrogenic adverse effects. The dosage varies depending on how HCG is administered.
A dose of roughly 250-500IU, given 2-3 times per week, is generally effective for bodybuilders using HCG throughout a cycle of steroids to try to prevent testicular shrinkage.
For 10 days, 500IU of gonadotropin must be taken every day to start PCT.
The HCG half-life is 3-4 days on average.
HCG is available for purchase as a powder. Thereafter, it needs to be blended with bacteriostatic water and kept in the fridge for up to 60 days. Injections of gonadotropin are administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
