The Use of HCG in Bodybuilding and for Weight Loss

The only one property of HCG is appreciated in bodybuilding - increased secretion of sex hormones (testosterone) in testes. As a result, HCG is used as an anabolic agent to a set of muscle mass, as an aid in weight loss, and as a component of the PCT.

The use of HCG in anabolic purposes is not justified and it is dangerous to health. First, because human chorionic gonadotropin is less effective than anabolic steroids. Second, to obtain the good effect it is necessary to use it in large doses (more than 4000 IU per week), which can cause irreversible damage to the physiological axis of hypothalamus-pituitary-testis. Due to this fact, many articles have a negative opinion about HCG, forgetting about his true destiny.

The use of HCG for PCT

In bodybuilding the use of human chorionic gonadotropin is justified and even necessary solely as a PCT for the prevention of testicular atrophy. In this case, its use is safe because the doses are much lower. Chorionic gonadotropin also eliminates some of the side effects of anabolic steroids, as well as to keep to gain muscle mass. HCG is of particular importance if the cycle exceeds 4 weeks of steroid use or larger doses. In this situation, horionicheky gonadotropin does not violate the work of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testis, and, most importantly, allows you to preserve the function of the testes.

HCG for weight loss

More recently were published studies of a British scientists - endocrinologist A.T.W. Simeons, which states that human chorionic gonadotropin can be used for weight loss in order to maintain muscle mass. The scientist believes that programs the hypothalamic gonadotropin in the consumption of fat reserves, while the muscles are protected from catabolism. Simeons recommends using a small (and therefore safe) doses of HCG - (125 mg daily in the background of a low-calorie diet - 500 kcal per day. This diet is practiced in many specialized centers for weight loss. It should be noted that during this course need to consume adequate amounts of protein and vitamins.
