why is HCG?

[rude]

I have been reading the boards, and I read how HCG can suppress your body permanetly if taken in correctly. Im going to take HCG very soon, and my question is, how rare is it that HCG has a negative effect on someone like that? And why, too much, bad reaction?

good question. I can only quote swales here

Any more than 500IU of HCG per day causes too much aromatase activity. Some feel aromatase is actually toxic to the Leydig cells of the testes. You are then inducing primary hypogonadism (which is permanent) while treating steroid-induced secondary (hypogonadotrophic) hypogonadism (which is temporary--hopefully).

here is the link, its a good read. http://www.superiormuscle.com/vbulle...ghlight=swales

I've also seen reports that indicate that larger doses of HCG can desensitize the Leydig cells to HCG....but that the use of tamoxifen (Nolvadex) alongside HCG will prevent this unwanted side effect from happening. I always have nolva and letro alongside my HCG, so I don't worry about it.

Thanks guys for the info, after reading the link I take as long as I dont go over 500iu then ill be ok.

One more question while im at it, how long does it take for the HCG to bring back the boys, I know it starts to work immediatly, so how long would it take for the boys to be back to full size?

I have never heard of Nov negating that affect...I don't use more than 250iu twice a week during cycles...there isn't need for more than that.

How long can you store made up solutions of HCG in the fridge without it losing activity? I know with the rabbit version, after a week in the fridge, it has lost half its activity.

FYI - a friend of mine worked for Bayer where he did drug testing in animals. RCG (rabbit HCG) was used to stimulate ovulation in rabbits so that's where I get that information.

If you have the 5000iu ampules how do you know that your getting 500ius at a time? How much solution would you mix with a 5000iu ampule?

Mix each 5000 I.U. vial with 10 ml of Bacteriostatic water, and you have a 500 I.U./ml solution.
