ULTIMATE HCG GUIDE:
Welcome everybody, this is my FIRST guide (kinda nervous
) and today I‘ll be making a guide about HCG aka Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.There will be 4 sections in this guide.
1. What is HCG and what does it do.
2. How to use HCG and when to use it.
3. How to inject HCG and how much.
4. How to store HCG and what to watch out for.
Let‘s begin.
1) What is HCG and what does it do?
1) What is HCG and what does it do?
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a natural peptide hormone that men use primarily to prevent testicular shrinkage, maintain fertility, and protect natural testosterone production during or after an anabolic steroid cycle.
HCG works by binding directly to LH receptors located on Leydig cells in the testes. When a bodybuilder takes anabolic steroids , the brain stops making LH ( which normally makes the testicles work ) . HCG circumvents the inactive neural signaling pathway and provides the exact stimulus required for testicular function.HCG effectively preserves the activity of Leydig cells and thus prevents testicular atrophy during steroid treatment. This constant stimulation maintains the high levels of testosterone in the testicles needed to maintain sperm production and fertility. In the end, keeping testicular activity during a cycle helps a bodybuilder immensely with the restoration of natural hormone synthesis in Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT).
2) How to use HCG and when to use it.
To know how to use HCG, in other terms to prepare your HCG for injection, here‘s a quick, very simple video on how to do it
When a bodybuilder chooses to use HCG depends on how they choose to run their cycle and what their primary goals happen to be.
Many men will actually use HCG during their cycle to prevent testicular atrophy before it begins.
Taking a lesser dose of hcg consistently will keep the testes active and healthy so they will not shut down, making recovery easier in the long run.
Men who "blast and cruise" or are on medical Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) will often take HCG year round as a supplementary agent.
It becomes an essential aspect in regards to their fertility and testicular health.
Other bodybuilders prefer to save it for the end of their cycle and have a brief, intensive "blast" right when they are finished with their injectables to jump start the recovery process.
You MUST note that HCG should never be used during the Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT) itself, as it will continue to mimic the hormone signals sent by the hypothalamus, thus suppressing natural production.
It will need to be cleared from your system before you can expect to see natural production return.
So to summarize it‘s up to you. Do you want to actively use it while you are on TEST, at the end of your cycle, or maybe year round HCG with a lesser dose.
3) How to inject HCG and how much.
Also a very simple and short guide on how to inject HCG safely:- 250-500 IU of HCG every 3-4 days, starting on the first day of your testosterone cycle.
- Continue this dosing schedule for the duration of your testosterone cycle, usually 4-6 weeks, but can be up to 10-12 weeks depending on the cycle.
- If your testosterone cycle lasts longer than 8-10 weeks, you may want to start with a higher dose of 500-1000 IU every 3-4 days.
- After the testosterone cycle, continue HCG at 250-500 IU every 3-4 days for 2-3 weeks to help restore natural testosterone production.
To calculate the dosing, you need to know the total amount of HCG in a vial, which is usually 5000 IU or 10000 IU. You will also need an insulin syringe, typically 1ml with 100 units/cc (IU/cc).
For a 5000 IU vial:
- 250 IU = 0.05 ml
- 500 IU = 0.1 ml
- 750 IU = 0.15 ml
- 1000 IU = 0.2 ml
For a 10000 IU vial:
- 250 IU = 0.025 ml
- 500 IU = 0.05 ml
- 750 IU = 0.075 ml
- 1000 IU = 0.1 ml
4) How to store HCG and what to watch out for.
- Store the powdered HCG at 2-8°C (36-46°F), typically in a refrigerator.
- Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Do not freeze the powder as it can degrade the hormone.
- The powder should be stored in its original, tightly sealed vial to prevent contamination.
After mixing (liquid form):
- After reconstituting HCG with bacteriostatic water, the liquid is typically good for 2-3 weeks at 2-8°C (36-46°F) in the refrigerator.
- For longer storage, you can freeze the mixed HCG at -20°C (-4°F) or lower for up to 3 months. However, do not refreeze once thawed.
- When frozen, store the liquid in small, single-dose vials to avoid wasting any.
- The liquid should be kept in a cool, dark place and protected from light.
Things to watch out for:
- Never let HCG get too hot or cold, as extreme temperatures can denature and inactivate the hormone.
- Always check the expiration date and discard any expired HCG.
- Inspect the HCG before use for any signs of contamination, color change, or particulate matter.
- If the HCG appears cloudy, discolored, or has visible particles, do not use it.
- Always use sterile technique when handling and injecting HCG to prevent contamination.
- Never share needles or vials with others to avoid cross-contamination.
- Always keep HCG out of reach of children and pets. (the most basic)
THAT‘S IT for the Guide, thanks for reading it, point out any mistakes or missing (important) information if there are and also REP THIS THREAD
