HCG - Gonadotropin

What Is HCG

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a polypeptide hormone that has the same biological effects as luteinizing hormone Gonadotropin, which is formed in the pituitary gland. So far sounds really weird and you still have no idea what it has to do with bodybuilding, right? To put it simply, HCG is «The morning after pill for hardcore bodybuilders, a life-saver for their testicles.

In bodybuilding HCG is used to achieve fertility and preserve the size and effectiveness of testicles on a course of anabolic steroids, to avoid atrophy and to increase the secretion of natural testosterone.

When Do You Need HCG

Here’s how it works. You want to get really big and decide to go for a hardcore steroid cycle. You blast Testosterone Enanthate in enormous doses about 1000mg for 12 weeks, with Dianabol kickstart, and polish your looks with Anavar. All these anabolic steroids suppress your natural testosterone. Your testicles feel useless by the end of the cycle. You are shut down, regular Nolvadex PCT just wouldn’t be enough and you know it. Heres where you remember that you can buy HCG kits and inject it to get your testicles back to normal or to prevent the shutdown and to get more testosterone when you need it.

Where HCG comes from

HCG is not a synthesized chemical compound. It is produced naturally by the placenta during pregnancy, and then is excreted unchanged in the urine, from where it is extracted and purified. Pregnancy tests are based on checking HCG levels. It’s a marker to identify the pregnancy stage.

HCG For Weight Loss

HCG diet is a thing as well. Along with life-saving capabilities after the cycle, HCG also accelerates the breakdown of fat and allows you to not feel hunger and reduce the need for food. The HCG diet lasts about 3 weeks, depending on how much weight you intend to lose. It is perfect for those who want to prepare for the summer as soon as possible or those who do not suffer from severe overweight. The diet may suit you if you can’t lose the hated 6-12 lbs no matter how hard you try. In the first few days, you can lose up to 2,5 lbs per day. By the way, nutritionists do not recommend any diet in which weight loss per day is more than that, therefore its quite healthy.

HCG Dosage

The safest dose for bodybuilders is considered to be 1000-1500 IU weekly, divided by 1-2 injections. The scheme involves taking the drug from the 3rd week of the cycle. There is a second option, in which HCG is injected once every six months, for three weeks, but in dosages of 1500 IU once every 4 days. This option is more suitable for athletes on long cycles.
