HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a hormone that mimics the action of LH (luteinizing hormone) in the body. It is widely used during or after anabolic steroid cycles to prevent testicular atrophy and stimulate natural testosterone production. HCG is not a SERM but plays a critical role in preparing the body for effective Post Cycle Therapy (PCT).
We offer pharma-grade HCG at Steroids EU with secure EU shipping and complete hormonal recovery guidance.
Why Use HCG?
- Restores testicular size and function during or after cycle
- Increases natural testosterone by stimulating Leydig cells
- Prepares the body for a smoother, more effective PCT
- Prevents post-cycle crash, fatigue, and libido loss
Common HCG Protocols
- During cycle (blast method):
- 250 IU 2–3x per week starting from week 2
- Post-cycle (pre-PCT):
- 500–1000 IU every other day for 10–14 days
- Start Clomid/Nolvadex 3–4 days after last HCG shot
Best Practices for HCG Use
Always store reconstituted HCG in the refrigerator. Use insulin syringes for subcutaneous injections. HCG should be used with care — high doses over long periods can lead to desensitization or estrogen spikes.
Stacking with PCT Compounds
HCG is not a replacement for PCT, but a pre-PCT tool. After finishing HCG protocol, start your Clomid or Nolvadex program for full recovery.

FAQ – HCG in PCT
- Is HCG part of PCT?
- No, but it’s used before PCT to prepare your body for recovery. Clomid/Nolvadex follow HCG.
- Can I use HCG on cycle?
- Yes, using low-dose HCG during your cycle helps prevent shutdown and testicular atrophy.
- Is HCG injectable only?
- Yes, it is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly.
- Do I need an AI with HCG?
- Sometimes. HCG can increase estrogen, so Arimidex or Aromasin may be needed if signs of estrogen excess appear.
- Can women use HCG?
- Yes, but it’s usually for fertility protocols. Consult a specialist before using.
