Trt; testosterone and hcg

[FRITZTHEBADASSCAT]

I reached out to increasemyt and they advised their basic program includes hcg.

I know nothing about hcg and never considered using. Additionally, my prior t-doc never mentioned.

What is the benefit and risk of hcg and why would i need in addition to test? Not looking to take (or pay for) more than i need so concerned.

Thanks

The benefit of HCG is that when injected it replicates the LH signal, which is lost due to HPTA shutdown from testosterone use. Basically, it keeps your natural test production running as well as keeping your balls from shrinking/sperm production. In addition to that, the adrenal glands use LH to regulate Prenenolone and DHEA production. I don't think there is a ton of risk involved...other than the fact that it aromotizes to estrogen (like test does) and you would need to take breaks from the HCG every so often in order to not desensitize the Leydig cells.

Yes that is correct. For some reason men on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) without Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) can be prone to adrenal insufficiency amongst other things.

Most men that have been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for a while will tell you it is the best hormone for men since testosterone. Anything you can do to offset suppression is a good thing.

HCG will induce proper form and function.

Bigben - Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) will not desensitize the leydigs forever, so it is not really desensitization, it is merely down regulation. Desensitization is a myth

You are correct thought taking a break every now and again can help offset down regulation.

I take Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) with my test and I can feel its benefits but I thought that it didnt help your balls produce natty test......once you have outside test coming in thats it no natty test.
Am I wrong?
