HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a steroid which is legally banned in the United States. Originally extracted from the urine of pregnant women, HCG was initially used to help infertile women become more fertile. Men soon discovered that it had much use in spurning male testosterone production, and before long it was being used by bodybuilders, powerlifters, and strength athletes. HCG is simlair in structure to Clomid. Likewise, it requires a prescription for purchase in the US.
HCG works by mimicking the leutenizing hormone (LH) in the bloodstream. The testes sense the LH in the blood, and they take it as a signal to begin production of sperm cells. Even if your pituitary gland is still sensing an elevated level or testosterone in the body (and therefore not ordering the testes to produce once ...Posted in: Steroid Articles | | Comments (0)
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a commonly misunderstand compound, and in some cases (as with women) used completely incorrectly. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding HCG.
Q: What the heck is HCG?
A: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a peptide hormone which occurs naturally in your body. It’s not a steroid. In the human body, it stimulates the growth of the testes during prenatal development. It is a drug which is finding common use in bodybuilding these days.
Q: What are the clinical uses of HCG?
A: In women, HCG is used to treat ovarian disorders and induce ovulation when it isn’t occurring naturally. In men, HCG is used as a testosterone stimulant, for males whose testes are not producing testosterone. In males, HCG sends a signal to the brain to jumpstart testosterone production, which in turn increases the ...Posted in: Steroid Articles | | Comments (0)
When it comes to diet, bodybuilders can pretty much eat according to any diet plan. Excluding eight meals of sushi per day, of course. Most food sources are readily available to bodybuilders. When it comes to training, most bodybuilders with access to a gym and a somewhat flexible schedule (to avoid those very crowded times) can train following any routine they desire. When it comes to steroid use, however, the ability to use any stack you desire is certainly never there. When planning and running a stack, you’re always limited to whatever (possibly illegal) substances you are able to locate.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a non-steroidal compound which is often more readily available than the more traditional and preferred anabolic steroids. It is actually a protein hormone, naturally secreted by the placenta. ...Posted in: Steroid Articles | | Comments (0)
Substance: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
HCG "Human Chorionic Gonadotropin" drug is not a steroid but it is widely used in athletics today. HCG is a natural protein hormone secreted by the human placenta and purified form the urine of pregnant women. This hormone is not a natural male hormone but mimics the natural hormone LH (Luetinising Hormone) almost identically. This LH stimulates the production of testosterone by the testis in males. Thus HCG sends the same message and results in increased testosterone production by the testis due to HCG’s effect on the leydig cells of the testis. Normally this HCG is used to treat women with certain ovarian disorders and it is used to stimulate the testis of men who may be hypogonadal. Athletes use HCG to increase the body’s own natural production of testosterone which is often depressed by ...Posted in: Steroid Profiles | | Comments (0)
