HCG 5000 IU
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 5000 IU
Stimulates natural testosterone production, supports fertility, and prevents testicular atrophy during or after anabolic steroid cycles.
Lyophilized sterile powder in a glass vial.
For dilution with bacteriostatic water or sterile water for injection.
Store refrigerated. Once reconstituted, the solution remains stable for up to 30–60 days if stored properly.
What is HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)?
HCG is a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy. In men, it mimics the action of luteinizing hormone (LH), stimulating the testes to produce testosterone. It is often used in post-cycle therapy (PCT) or alongside anabolic steroid cycles to maintain testicular function and fertility.
It is also prescribed medically for hypogonadism and infertility in men and ovulation induction in women.
Benefits of HCG 5000 IU
HCG plays a key role in hormonal balance and recovery. Main benefits include:
● Stimulates natural testosterone production
● Prevents or reverses testicular shrinkage
● Maintains fertility during steroid use
● Supports post-cycle hormonal recovery
● Improves libido and mood
● Enhances LH and FSH signaling pathways
Possible Side Effects of HCG
Although generally well-tolerated, HCG use can cause side effects, especially at high or prolonged doses:
Water retention
Mood swings or irritability
Gynecomastia (due to increased estrogen)
Injection site irritation
Headaches
Fatigue
Rare/Serious effects:
- Desensitization of LH receptors (from misuse)
- Hormonal imbalance if not monitored
HCG Dosage Guidelines
Dosing protocols vary depending on the purpose (PCT, fertility, TRT support, etc.). Below are general fitness/bodybuilding-oriented guidelines. Always consult with a physician before use.
● On-cycle support:
- 250–500 IU every 3.5 days (2× weekly)
● Post-cycle therapy (PCT):
- 1000 IU every other day for 10 days
- OR 500 IU daily for 20 days
● Blast method (advanced users):
- 2000–2500 IU 2–3× weekly for 2 weeks (not to be repeated frequently)
Route: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection depending on preference.
Recommended Practices with HCG
- Always reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for better shelf-life
- Store refrigerated after mixing
- Avoid high doses to prevent desensitization
- Combine with anti-estrogens (if using high doses) to control estrogenic effects
Dietary and Supplement Considerations
While on HCG, general health support through nutrition can enhance hormonal recovery:
- Protein-rich diet to support testosterone production
- Adequate cholesterol intake (cholesterol is a precursor to steroid hormones)
- Zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D supplementation
- Omega-3s for inflammation control and hormonal health
- Stay hydrated and maintain consistent sleep schedule
Combining HCG with a healthy lifestyle ensures maximal hormonal balance and recovery efficiency.
