HCG

HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone that mimics luteinising hormone, so it signals the testes directly rather than working through the pituitary. On cycle it keeps the testes producing testosterone and stops them shrinking, and after a cycle it helps kick-start natural production before PCT compounds like nolvadex or clomid take over. Pharmaqo Labs supplies this as 5000IU in vial form for reconstitution.

As a guide only, not medical advice, a common approach for first-time users is around 250 IU injected subcutaneously twice a week, for example Monday and Thursday, while running alongside testosterone. Some protocols use 250 to 500 IU every 3 to 4 days instead. Doses above 500 IU per injection are generally avoided since they raise the risk of oestrogen-related side effects without adding benefit.

HCG is not a standalone anabolic, it is meant to be paired with testosterone during a cycle to prevent testicular atrophy and preserve fertility. Once you come off, PCT is still needed. A typical setup is starting nolvadex around 2 weeks after your last testosterone injection, 40 mg daily for 2 weeks then 20 mg daily for 2 more, or clomid 50 mg daily for 4 weeks as an alternative.

The main issue is oestrogen elevation, since HCG stimulates the testes to produce more testosterone which can aromatise into oestradiol, leading to water retention or gyno in sensitive users. Acne, mood swings and irritation at the injection site are also reported. Keeping the dose sensible and having an aromatase inhibitor on hand if oestrogen symptoms appear are the usual ways users manage this, and bloodwork before and during use is the only way to know where your levels actually sit.

Yes, every box we sell is authentic Pharmaqo Labs stock with its own verification check-code so you can confirm it against the manufacturer before use. We are not the cheapest source, but everything we ship is genuine, correctly stored and dated, which matters more with a peptide hormone than almost anything else in the range.

Orders placed and paid before midday on a working day are usually dispatched the same day from our UK warehouse via Royal Mail Tracked 24, with most customers seeing delivery within 1 to 2 working days. Everything goes out in plain, unbranded packaging so there is nothing on the outside to indicate what is inside.
