HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a powerful fertility and hormone-stimulating compound commonly used in Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) to restore natural testosterone production, prevent testicular atrophy, and support HPTA recovery.
Whether you’re running your first steroid cycle or preparing for long-term health optimization, understanding the role of HCG during PCT is crucial.
HCG mimics luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals the testes to produce testosterone. After a steroid cycle, natural LH is suppressed—so HCG acts as a temporary trigger to jumpstart your own production.

Most anabolic steroids suppress or shut down testosterone. This can result in:
