Chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone that is used in bodybuilding and strength sports as a means to increase the secretion of endogenous testosterone, as well as as an element of PCT in a course of anabolic steroid drugs to prevent testicular atrophy.
Because gonadotropin very effectively raises the level of testosterone in the body, it was also used as an anabolic drug for the growth of muscle fibers. Chorionic gonadotropin has identical properties to luteinizing hormone, which is produced by the pituitary gland and is responsible for the secretion of testosterone.
Effects of chorionic gonadotropin:
- has the property of stimulating the synthesis of sex hormones in the testicles;
- stimulates the process of spermatogenesis;
- prevents testicular atrophy (after a course of anabolic steroids);
- stimulates the development of sexual organs (testicles grow like yeast); during pregnancy, it supports the development of the placenta;
- as recent studies have shown, it gives very good results when burning fat while preserving muscle mass; The maximum recommended single dosage of the drug is 1000-2500 IU.
The half-life of the HCG hormone is 2-4 hours, the effect of one injection lasts for 5 days.
