What is it? hCG (Gonase)
The human chorionic gonadotropin, commonly referred to as hCG and also marketed as Gonase, is a peptide hormone produced naturally during pregnancy. In sports and clinical settings, it is used to maintain and restore the body’s natural production of testosterone when the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is suppressed, for example during courses of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS).
ThehCG/Gonasemimics luteinizing hormone (LH), by binding to its receptors in Leydig cells and stimulating testosterone synthesis. In medicine, it was initially used to induce ovulation in women and support spermatogenesis and fertility in men; it later became a mainstay of hormonal support for athletes.
Main effects of hCG (Gonase)
- 📈 Maintains and increases endogenous testosterone during AAS withdrawal
- 🧬 Supports fertility and libido
- ⚙️ Preserves testicular volume and function, preventing atrophy
- 🔁 Helps maintain hormonal balance during extended cycles
How to take hCG (Gonase)
Before use, ask for instructions on Reconstitution and Injection Technique . hCG is particularly recommended for cycles longer than 6 weeks
Typical diagram
| Scope | Dosage | Frequency | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| During AAS cycle (from week 4) | ~1000 IU/week (750–1250 IU) | 2 injections of 500 IU | Until the end of the cycle |
| Libido/energy support | 500 IU | 1–2 times a week | 2–4 weeks |
📌 Monitor: total/free testosterone, LH, FSH, estradiol, prolactin; in long cycles, also β-hCG
Precautions
- Do not associate SERM (clomiphene, tamoxifen) during the use of hCG; reserve them for PCT
- Avoid combining with other gonadotropins or LH mimetics.
- Watch for signs of excess estrogen (edema, nipple tenderness).
- Use moderate amounts to prevent desensitization of LH receptors.
Possible side effects
- Increased estrogen (with overdose)
-
Testicular tenderness or swelling
-
Mood swings, fatigue
Storage
-
Refrigerator 2–8 °C , away from light and heat
-
After reconstitution: 1–2 months if stored properly
How hCG (Gonase) works
ThehCG It is a “functional duplicate of LH”: maintains the intratesticular testosterone (ITT) and gonadal function even when the HPG axis is suppressed by AAS. For this reason, it is ideal during your period, while in PCT It is preferable to reactivate the upper branch (hypothalamus/pituitary gland) using the SERM
Clinical studies (Coviello 2005; Roth 2010–2011) show that low–moderate doses hCG levels maintain ITT at near-physiological levels with a response dose-dependent up to a certain threshold, confirming the importance of avoiding excesses.
Quick FAQs
- When should I start? Around the Week 4 of the AAS cycle.
- During PCT? No, stop taking it first and switch to SERMs.
- Fat loss? Indirectly, yes—by supporting testosterone levels, energy, and lean body mass.
