First Problem and Decision 

Why any drug such as HCG should be included in each of your cycles longer than 6 weeks. There are several reasons for this. Let's start with the fact that as you know, while taking anabolic steroids, our body turns off the production of its own testosterone completely. 

After your cycle, you must restore it with PCT. So, when using HCG during your cycle, it helps to restore your testosterone mush faster, which means that with a normal testosterone level, you will be able to a better maintain the gained result, and also not fall into the “emotional hole” that often happens at a low-level testosterone ☝️. 

It works in such a way that HCG is a hormone that even during a cycle of steroids instructs your testicles to produce their own testosterone. Although your hypothalamus and pituitary gland will not be involved in this process, your testicles will work in their natural mode or close to it, without decreasing in size. That is, your testicles by the time of PCT will be ready to increase testosterone without delay. 

Second Problem and Decision 

There is also another reason why HCG should be used, especially during the long cycles. The fact is that anabolic steroids not only ‘turn off’ the production of their own testosterone, but also in the same way affect the cessation of the production of steroid hormones by the adrenal glands.

This process produces hormones such as pregnenolone, progesterone, aldosterone, DHEA, and others. In this chain, each of these hormones has its own important effect on the body and when you interrupt the production of testosterone during your cycle, the process of producing these hormones is also disrupted. 

As a result, your body is left without a number of reactions it needs. Using HCG – you save the entire chain of prohormones synthesis of steroid genesis. What is important is that some of the hormones that are created in this cascade of reactions are neurosteroids which have a positive effect on your mood, behavior, and libido. Below we will talk very superficially about the beneficial properties of some hormones in this chain. 

Progesterone reduces the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia and tumor processes, takes part in the functioning of the nervous system, helps to maintain normal levels of female sex hormones, strengthens bone tissue, normalizes thyroid function, and has a number of other important properties. 

Pregnenolone is important for brain function, and with it’s lack memory and mental abilities suffer. 

DHEA - the action of this hormone is not fully understood, but there is an evidence that indicates its widespread influence in the body. DHEA is useful for the cardiovascular system, helps with obesity, with various diseases of the central nervous system, with osteoporosis, weakening of the immune system. 

How to use

In order to prevent testicular atrophy, as well as to resume the steroidogenesis of your adrenal glands, it is necessary to take HCG during the entire cycle from 500 to 2500 iu per week, depending on the specific case. We recommend using 1000 iu per week. This dosage is average and suitable for most people. 

There is a misconception that HCG should be taken during PCT. This is not true because the stimulation of your testicles themselves by imitation the action of hormones such as LH and FSH. 

The actual triggering process for HPTA must begin in your pituitary gland and will be accelerated by drugs such as clomiphene and tamoxifen. HCG should be used during the cycle to keep your testicles from atrophying so that by the time of PCT they can quickly respond to pituitary stimulation with testosterone production. If this is not done, then you will have to wait a very long time until this mechanism starts itself after many months of “vacation”.
