ХГЧ 5000

HCG 5000 (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) – Overview & Uses

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy, but it is also used medically and in performance enhancement for its effects on testosterone production, fertility, and fat loss.

Key Uses of HCG 5000 IU

1. Fertility Treatment

• In Women: Stimulates ovulation in fertility treatments (e.g., IVF).

• In Men: Treats hypogonadism (low testosterone) and improves sperm count.

2. Testosterone Restoration (Post-Cycle Therapy – PCT)

• Used by bodybuilders after steroid cycles to restart natural testosterone production.

• Prevents testicular atrophy (shrinkage) caused by anabolic steroids.

3. Weight Loss (Controversial)

• The “HCG Diet” combines very low-calorie intake (500 kcal/day) with HCG injections, claiming to target fat loss while preserving muscle.

• Criticism: FDA warns that HCG is not approved for weight loss, and any fat loss is due to extreme calorie restriction, not the hormone itself.

Dosage & Administration

• For Fertility/PCT: Typically 500–2000 IU 2–3 times per week (varies by purpose).

• For Weight Loss (HCG Diet): Usually 125–200 IU daily alongside severe calorie restriction.

• Форма: Comes as a lyophilized powder; must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water.

• Injection: Subcutaneous (fat) or intramuscular (muscle).

Странични ефекти и рискове

• In Women: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), headaches, mood swings.
