In this section, we’re going to discuss how to effectively use HCG either completely on its own, or as part of an anabolic steroid cycle so that you are able to access it as safely as possible.
Examples Of Effective HCG Cycles And Doses
We’ll first observe an effective dosing regimen when using HCG as part of a steroid cycle.
How To Use HCG For Intra Cycle Protection
Based on an eight week steroid cycle, the user would implement HCG as follows:
| Weeks | HCG |
| 1-8 | 250 IU every 3 – 4 days |
You would change the length of your cycle based around the steroid combination you were using. Your HCG intake would not change, and would typically never surpass 250 IU as prescribed above.
How To Calculate Your Dose
As HCG doesn’t come “ready made” as per most steroid / protection varieties, you will need to reconstitute it using bacteriostatic water before it is ready to be injected.
It’s important that you get your dosage “right” after this reconstitution process. This calculator will help you to get this aspect of taking HCG right from the first time you use it onwards.
How To Mix HCG
As previously mentioned, mixing HCG requires bacteriostatic water and the relevant needles to perform the process.
You’ll find a step by step guide here.
How To Inject HCG
You can inject HCG either intramuscularly or subcutaneously. These methods respectively involve either directly injecting into the tissue of a target muscle site, or into the fat layer beneath the surface of the skin.
Tests have shown that subcutaneous administration of HCG proves to be more effective on the whole at elevating plasma levels of HCG thus leading to the fulfilment of the desired results by the user.
How To Use HCG For Post Cycle Protection
During the post cycle phase, an individual has a choice between two primary dosing schedules. The first of these schedules is as follows:
| Week | HCG |
| 1 | 1,500 – 4,000 IU every 3 – 4 days |
| 2 | 1,500 – 4,000 IU every 3 – 4 days |
| 3 | 1,500 – 4,000 IU every 3 – 4 days |
The second of these schedules is as follows:
| Weeks | HCG |
| 1 – 10 | 500 – 1,000 IU per day |
Either cycle type will prove to be effective, and it would perhaps be best to select the prolonged cycle if you are inexperienced with this item.
Why There Is No Need To Go Above The Recommended HCG Dose
As with almost all pharmaceutical grade products, there comes a level in terms of dosing where a “saturation” point is reached, and no further benefit can be obtained from using more of a product.
This is certainly the case with HCG, and using more than the amount previously specified will not yield any surplus benefit, not to mention that it might accelerate your likelihood of contracting nasty side effects.
How Much Should I Use To Stimulate Testosterone Production?
For an average aging male in need of testosterone production stimulation, an intake of between 125 – 250 IU every few days is likely going to be enough to provide a healthy boost in testosterone production.
The intra cycle steroid dose previously outlined is really the maximum anyone is ever likely to need for this purpose.
Keep Your LH Mechanics Primed
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to use HCG both during and after your cycle as a means of keeping your luteinising hormone mechanics in a constantly “on” state at all times.
This means that when you come “off” your AAS varieties, you won’t have to worry about whether or not the body is able to seamlessly merge between the intra and post cycle phases – testosterone production should remain on a constant level throughout.
This is great for avoiding any unwanted plateaus. Please refer to both the intra and post cycle intakes of HCG previously mentioned in order to ascertain how you would use HCG in this fashion.
Using HCG And Anti Estrogens Together
Depending on the harshness of your cycle (the strength of the items in your stack) you might need to use both HCG AND SERM’s in order to achieve the around the clock protection you need.
If this is the case, consider running it with nolvadex as this is perhaps the best “all round” form of cycle support out there in terms of counteracting estrogenic issues. If you are only running an incredibly mild cycle, HCG might well be all you need in its own right.
HCG Dosing To Prevent Testicular Atrophy
For the purpose of preventing testicular atrophy, an intake of 200 – 500 IU’s two to three times per week is typically prescribed by doctors – this intake level tends to prove effective.
HCG Dosing To Maintain Estrogen Levels
A very low end intake of 50 – 250 IU is likely to prove effective as a means of increasing estrogen levels within the body. You may scale your dose up or down depending on the estrogen content of your blood after utilizing this item for a short period of time.
How To Store HCG
In their powdered form, HCG vials can be stored safely at room temperature for several weeks provided they are away from direct sunlight.
Ideally, both your reconstituted and unconstituted peptides should be refrigerated at between 2 to 8 degrees celsius where they can be safely kept for 18 months.
Frozen peptides can be stored for up to 24 months.
How To Prepare HCG For A 10 Week Supply
Planning ahead and investing some time into preparing your entire cycle in advance can save you headaches down the line. You should consider stocking up with all of the vials / needles / bacteriostatic water needed to prepare a 10 week supply at once, after which you can store it all according to the storage guidelines previously mentioned.
Nolvadex + Clomid + HCG
These three products are sometimes referred to as the “holy trinity” of cycle protections because of the manner in which they perfectly complement each other. The perfect and most advanced means of implementing these three products would be to use HCG and nolvadex intra cycle to both keep testosterone levels intact and safeguard against estrogenic issues. Following this, you would then run your HCG cycle followed by a combination of nolvadex and clomid afterwards to “take over” the hard work HCG had started thus continuing to rejuvenate your hormonal output.
HCG Cycle Start / Finish Times
Please bear in mind that during the post cycle phase, your HCG cycle needs to be run independently to any other form of protection.
HCG should be used:
- 1-4 days after your last administration of a short estered steroid
- 14 – 21 days after your last administration of a long estered steroid
Following the completion of your chosen HCG cycle (the details of which were outlined in the previous section) you may then implement your nolvadex and clomid.
HCG Dosing To Maintain Estrogen Levels
A very low end intake of 50 – 250 IU is likely to prove effective as a means of increasing estrogen levels within the body. You may scale your dose up or down depending on the estrogen content of your blood after utilizing this item for a short period of time.
