Articles on HCG

Males need hCG during their teenage years and in adulthood, as the hormone influences testosterone production.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that plays a significant in sexual development. In men, it’s prescribed to increase the production of testosterone, as well as to help with weight loss.

HCG acts like luteinizing hormone (LH), reminding the body to continue producing testosterone. This is beneficial especially for men who are suffering from androgen disorder or undergoing hormone replacement therapy.

HCG can be purchased only by those with the necessary prescription, despite being something that exists naturally in the body.

HCG is sold in powder form that can then be mixed with liquid, but it’s also available in syringes ready for injection. It is typically injected into a muscle or under the skin – and this can be done at home.

We’ll have to remind you though, that you’ll need to acquire a prescription to actually purchase hCG in pharmacies. Of course, it’s best to avoid black market alternatives for safety measures.

The hormone should be taken exactly as the doctor prescribed. It should not be used in large amounts and for longer than what is recommended by your physician.

HCG is naturally produced in the body and is present in both men and women. In fact, the hormone’s already present while we’re still developing inside the womb because it helps in fetal development.

HCG serves several important functions in hormone secretion, sexual development, and even energy balance.

• Increased Testosterone - The hormone is used medically to stimulate the Leydig cells, which synthesize or produce testosterone. This explains why hCG is often given to those with fertility issues, particularly when it comes to their sperm count.
• Thyroid Stimulator - This hormone is considered by some experts as a thyroid stimulator. Such belief is due to the large amounts of hCG generally found in patients suffering from hyperthyroidism.
• Penile Growth - Yes, hCG stimulates penile growth, but that’s not all. The hormone may also trigger an increase in serum testosterone, penile length, and testicular volume.
• Increased Energy - Most men don't even know that they have low levels of testosterone. This is usually characterized by both tiredness and lack of motivation, accompanied by changes in male characteristics. Many hastily assume that aging is to blame for their fatigue, but it could also be attributed to low testosterone. In such cases, hCG intake may actually increase energy, allowing for a more active lifestyle.

Here are some interesting bits of info about hCG:

• Despite being marketed towards those aiming to shed pounds, hCG’s potential in accelerating weight loss isn’t supported by scientific studies.
• Both the US FDA and the US FTC have warned supplement manufacturers selling sprays, drops, and pellets for off-label use.
• When taken by men without any hormone-related conditions, low doses of hCG prove to be effective in boosting testosterone levels.
• The hormone seems to function in a dose-dependent manner, meaning taking more of it translates to a greater increase in testosterone levels.
• HCG may significantly increase penile length (by around 1.5 to 2.0 centimeters), as observed in those with a micropenis.
