HCG 10,000 IU is an injectable medication produced by Ultima Pharmaceuticals, containing Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) as its active ingredient. This hormone is typically generated during pregnancy by the developing placenta shortly after conception, and subsequently by the syncytiotrophoblast of the placenta. hCG serves several purposes, including appetite suppression and promoting the body’s utilization of fat for energy. It is also used to induce ovulation in women, treat infertility, and boost sperm production in men. Bodybuilders often incorporate it into steroid cycles and post-cycle therapy to facilitate fat loss and enhance testosterone production.

In the context of bodybuilding and athletics, HCG is commonly administered at the conclusion of an anabolic-androgenic steroid cycle to prevent muscle tissue breakdown. It also plays a crucial role in restoring normal testicular function, as the testes may shrink after prolonged steroid use. HCG is effective in returning the testes to their normal size. When combined with a very low-calorie diet, athletes can reduce excess fat while preserving muscle. Women may also utilize HCG alongside a low-calorie diet to eliminate unwanted fat.

The typical dosage of HCG during a steroid cycle ranges from 500 IU to 3,000 IU weekly, administered one to three times per week. More frequent injections lead to more stable blood levels, whereas a single high-dose injection may elevate estrogen levels due to the aromatization of testosterone, potentially resulting in gynecomastia. Some bodybuilders have reportedly used doses as high as 6,000 IU for six days, but this approach is risky and depends on individual circumstances. For post-cycle therapy, HCG should be taken in lower doses of 250 to 500 IU daily for two to three weeks, which is sufficient to initiate the reversal of testicular atrophy. Bodybuilders are advised to follow a HCG regimen for two to three weeks, with at least a month off in between cycles, and it is often beneficial to start HCG towards the end of a steroid cycle, ideally in the last week.

Serious side effects of HCG may include severe pelvic pain, swelling in the arms or legs, abdominal pain and swelling, breathing difficulties, weight gain, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. More common side effects include headaches, irritability, mild swelling or water retention, depression, breast tenderness or swelling, and localized pain or irritation at the injection site. In boys, HCG use can trigger early signs of puberty, such as a deeper voice, growth of pubic hair, and increased acne or sweating.
