Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG 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 of 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. Usage after anabolic steroid use is implemented in order to enhance or produce a more efficient recovery. Both points of use are still however, highly debated among numerous steroid users.
It will not return your levels to normal on its own, but it will ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your levels continue to naturally rise.
There are several PCT plans we can implement, mostly all will include SERM’s such as Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) and/or Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate). Many have found that if a PCT plan begins with HCG prior to SERM use, the total recovery is enhanced.
In a sense, HCG mimics LH and primes the body for the SERM therapy to come producing a far more efficient recovery.
The second positive effect of HCG for the anabolic steroid user is use during a cycle of anabolic steroids. Due to steroid use, this
will cause testicular atrophy due its now suppressed state of natural testosterone production. By supplementing with HCG during steroid use, the individual can keep his testicles full. While this is merely a cosmetic effect that presents no strategic benefit, there is a possible benefit to be had. By keeping the body primed with exogenous LH, this can lead to an easier road of recovery once use of all anabolic steroids has been discontinued, but there’s also a problem. It is extremely easy for the body to become dependent on HCG for its LH needs.
