Is there a difference between the hcG the doctors prescribe for trt and the hcG that is used for weight loss at all these anti-aging clinics? Reason I ask is because I get my hcG from a compounding pharmacy that fills hcG scrips for both trt protocols and weight loss programs. The pharmacy tells me that the hcG is different, but only in the dosing concentration, with the trt hcG being much more concentrated.
A few issues im having with this pharmacy is that the concentration of the hcG keeps changing every time I pick up a new batch. For instance, two months ago, I picked up a 5ml vial that said 624U/ml. This go around, my vial says 5000U/ml. First off, I was concerned that it only said "U" instead of "IU". I called the pharmacy about that and they said they make their hcG in "units" and not "international units", but he didnt explain if they were different or not. Secondly, I asked him why the first vial I had was 624u/ml compared to the current vial which says 5000U/ml. He said that the head pharmacist decided to change the concentration. If this concentration is correct, then this new vial of hcG is SUPER concentrated.
Lastly, im worried that I am being grossly overcharged. Whereas I only paid $90 us for a vial of test cyp that will last roughly 2.5 months, this vial of hcG cost me $190 us. The hcG expires in 2 months. Could I do better on the wallet by purchasing hcG online?
