HCG 10000iu is an injectable medication produced by Beligas, featuring Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) as its active ingredient. This hormone, primarily produced during pregnancy by the developing placenta and later by syncytiotrophoblast cells, serves various functions. One of its applications is in appetite suppression and facilitating the body’s utilization of fat for energy. Additionally, hCG is employed to induce ovulation, treat infertility in women, and enhance sperm production in men. Bodybuilders often use it during steroid cycles and post-cycle therapy to preserve muscle gains and boost testosterone levels.
Among athletes and bodybuilders, HCG is used at the conclusion of anabolic steroid cycles to prevent muscle tissue breakdown and to help restore normal testicular function. Following a period of steroid use, it is common for an athlete's testes to shrink, and hCG can help bring them back to their typical size. When combined with a very low-calorie diet, athletes can effectively reduce excess fat while maintaining muscle mass. Women may also employ hCG alongside a low-calorie diet to eliminate unwanted fat.
Typically, the dosage of HCG during a cycle ranges from 500iu to 3000iu weekly, administered 1 to 3 times per week. More frequent injections lead to more stable blood levels, whereas a single dose might raise estrogen levels due to the aromatization of normal testosterone, potentially resulting in gynecomastia. Some bodybuilders have reportedly used as much as 6000iu for six days, though this can be risky and varies based on individual circumstances. For post-cycle therapy, smaller doses of around 250 to 500iu daily for 2 to 3 weeks are recommended to initiate the recovery from testicular atrophy. Bodybuilders should follow a 2 to 3 week course of hCG, with at least a month off in between cycles. It is advisable to start HCG towards the end of a steroid cycle, ideally in the final week, and it can be used in conjunction with Clomid or Nolvadex during post-cycle therapy, continuing the latter after hCG is completed.
Serious side effects associated with HCG use may include severe pelvic pain, swelling in the limbs, abdominal pain and swelling, shortness of breath, weight gain, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. More common side effects are headaches, feelings of restlessness or irritability, mild swelling or water retention, depression, breast tenderness or swelling, and pain, swelling, or irritation at the injection site. In boys, HCG can trigger early signs of puberty, such as voice deepening, pubic hair development, and increased acne or perspiration.
