What is HCG ?
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the embryo following implantation. The presence of hCG is detected in pregnancy tests. Some cancerous tumors produce this hormone; therefore, elevated levels measured when the patient is not pregnant can lead to a cancer diagnosis. However, it is not known whether this production is a contributing cause or an effect of tumorigenesis. The pituitary analog of hCG, known as luteinizing hormone (LH), is produced in the pituitary gland of males and females of all ages.
How Does It Work?
Because the active ingredient of Pregnyl is virtually the same as pituitary LH, an injection of Pregnyl stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, with added beneficial side effect of restoring gonad size to normal if they have been repressed from steroid cycles. The active hormone in Pregnyl is naturally present in the male body during puberty and causes the testicles to descend and increase in size, as well as stimulating secondary sex characteristics. Even though it is normally a female hormone present during ovulation and pregnancy, it is easily absorbed and used by the male body. Because it is not a synthesized hormone, under the correct circumstances Pregnyl can be absorbed almost immediately, with a rapid corresponding boost in testosterone levels.
How Is HCG Used?
Although HCG can be used on its own, it’s most commonly used at the end of a cycle in conjunction with anabolic and other steroids. Used by itself, HCG has little effect on the normal, naturally testosterone-producing male body except to increase the size of the testicles. HCG has no proven effect on fat distribution, weight loss, or hunger pangs, and because it is not even a true steroid and is rather a natural female hormone, it is not an ideal choice for bulking or cutting. Its true benefit is increasing gonad size and promoting testosterone levels when pituitary LH production has been shut down by the use of other steroids. HCG is used by most bodybuilders at the end of a steroid cycle just prior to post cycle therapy to help restore the body’s testosterone levels. HCG is also commonly used by bodybuilders who run particularly long or heavy cycles, because it can help the body bounce back quicker and get the gonads producing their own testosterone.
