Description
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or HCG is a powerful polypeptide hormone found in pregnant women.
HCG is regularly used by many anabolic steroid users as a secondary item along side anabolic steroid use or after use has been discontinued. During anabolic steroid use, the idea behind supplementation is to combat hormonal suppression that occurs due to steroid use. After anabolic steroid use it’s implemented in order to enhance or produce a more efficient recovery.
For the purpose of on cycle use, standard male HCG doses will normally be 250-350iu every 4-5 days throughout the duration of the cycle. This will keep the testicles full throughout the cycle and may promote an easier recovery in the end. If your HCG doses are higher than the listed range, you will risk creating a Luteinizing Hormone (LH) dependency, which would send you into a low testosterone condition once the use of anabolic steroids comes to an end. When it comes to on cycle use, there is no reason to go above and beyond the listed HCG doses.
For the purpose of PCT, male HCG doses can start as low as 500iu and go as high as 4,000iu. A long standing PCT practice, the individual will administer 1,500-4,000iu every 3-4 days for approximately 2-3 weeks. Once HCG use is completed the use of Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM’s) begins.
