HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone commonly used in bodybuilding and athletic circles to support natural testosterone production, particularly during post-cycle therapy (PCT) following anabolic steroid use. HCG mimics luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulates the testes to produce testosterone. During steroid cycles, synthetic testosterone can suppress the body’s natural production, leading to low testosterone levels after the cycle ends. By using HCG, bodybuilders can help jumpstart natural testosterone production and minimize the risk of testicular atrophy (shrinkage) that can occur with prolonged steroid use. HCG is often incorporated into PCT protocols to restore hormonal balance and improve recovery. In addition to its role in PCT, HCG may also be used in therapeutic settings to treat infertility in men by stimulating sperm production.

Benefits:

  • Stimulates natural testosterone production post-cycle
  • Helps prevent testicular atrophy and supports testicular health
  • Essential for post-cycle therapy (PCT) to restore hormonal balance
  • Reduces the risk of low testosterone symptoms such as fatigue and loss of libido
  • Can enhance recovery after anabolic steroid use
