Protocol for Researching HCG:
Prior to research, HCG should first be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water by injecting bacteriostatic water in the vial of HCG. A 500IU dose (1/10th of the bottle) should be used every 3 – 4 days during PCT. Depending on suppression, HCG can be researched for 2 – 8 weeks.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone for the maternal recognition of pregnancy produced by trophoblast cells that are surrounding a growing embryo (syncytiotrophoblast initially), which eventually forms the placenta after implantation. The presence of hCG is detected in some pregnancy tests (HCG pregnancy strip tests). Some cancerous tumors produce this hormone; therefore, elevated levels measured when the patient is not pregnant may lead to a cancer diagnosis and, if high enough, paraneoplastic syndromes, however, it is not known whether this production is a contributing cause, or an effect of carcinogenesis. The pituitary analog of hCG, known as luteinizing hormone (LH), is produced in the pituitary gland of males and females of all ages.
