HCG for Recovery

Meaning

HCG for Recovery refers to the clinical use of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a glycoprotein hormone, primarily in men following a cycle of exogenous testosterone or anabolic steroid administration. The central therapeutic goal of this intervention is to actively stimulate the Leydig cells in the testes to resume endogenous testosterone production and maintain testicular volume. This strategy is a crucial component of Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT), designed to rapidly mitigate the profound suppression of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis caused by external hormone introduction. The objective is to restore the body’s natural hormonal signaling and reproductive function as efficiently as possible.
