Hey everyone,

I wanted to open up a discussion about Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and its role in bodybuilding. It’s a topic I’ve been researching recently, and I think it’s worth exploring together, especially for those who’ve been on cycles or are considering PCT (Post-Cycle Therapy).

What is HCG?​

HCG is a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy, but it has applications outside of that. In bodybuilding, it’s mainly used during or after anabolic steroid cycles to help maintain or restore natural testosterone production.

How It’s Used in Bodybuilding​

  1. Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT): HCG helps "kickstart" the body's natural testosterone production after a steroid cycle.
  2. Preventing Testicular Atrophy: During a cycle, natural testosterone production often shuts down, causing testicular shrinkage. HCG mimics luteinizing hormone (LH), signaling the testes to produce testosterone and stay functional.

Potential Benefits​

  • Helps restore natural testosterone levels
  • Maintains testicular size and fertility during cycles
  • May improve mood, energy, and libido

Risks to Consider​

While HCG has its benefits, there are also potential downsides:

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Improper use can disrupt your body’s hormonal balance.
  • Estrogen Side Effects: HCG can increase estrogen levels, leading to gynecomastia or bloating.
  • Dependency: Overuse might make it harder for your body to recover naturally.
  • Other side effects like fatigue, mood swings, or headaches

Is HCG Worth It?​

If you’re using steroids and want to preserve fertility or recover faster, HCG can be a valuable tool—but only when used correctly and under medical guidance. It’s not a direct performance enhancer, so it won’t help with muscle growth or strength like anabolic steroids do.

Your Thoughts?​

Your Thoughts?
Have you used HCG as part of your cycle or PCT? What was your experience like? Did it help with recovery, or did you notice any side effects?

Let’s share some insights and advice for those considering HCG!
