Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG)
.HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin)
provided as a glycoprotein powder to be diluted with water, and acts in
the body like LH, stimulating the testes to produce testosterone even
when natural LH is not present or is deficient. It therefore is useful
for maintaining testosterone production and/or testicle size during a
steroid cycle. Use of this drug in the taper is rather counterproductive,
since the resulting increased testosterone production is itself inhibitory
to the hypothalamus and pituitary, delaying recovery. Thus, if this drug
is used,
it is preferably used during the cycle itself. A daily amount of 500 IU is generally sufficient, and usage should not exceed 1000 IU per day.
