Pregnyl 5000IU HCG

Pregnyl 5000IU is an injectable drug manufactured by MSD and containing as active substance Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG). This is a hormone produced during pregnancy that is made by the developing placenta after conception, and later by the placental component syncytiotrophoblast. One of the uses of hCG is to suppress hunger and trigger the human body’s use of fat for fuel. hCG is used also to cause ovulation and to treat infertility in women, and to increase sperm count in men. bodybuilders use it in steroids cycles and in post cycle therapy to lose gain and to increase Testosterone production.

Pregnyl is utilized among bodybuilders and athletes at the end of an anabolic-androgenic steroid cycle to prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue. It is also important in restoring the testes to the normal abilities. Many times after a period of anabolic steroids usage the testes of an athlete may shrink. Pregnyl is effective in returning them to normal size. When used along with a very low-calorie diet, athletes burn off that extra fat over their muscle mass. Females may also use Pregnyl with a very low calorie diet to burn off unnecessary fat.

There are sources showing that some bodybuilders used 6000iu for 6 days, but this is a risky affair and depend on the individual features of men. As post cycle therapy Pregnyl should be used in smaller doses, about 250 – 500iu every day for 2 or 3 weeks. Smaller doses are enough to begin reversal process of testicular atrophy. When starting a cycle of hCG, bodybuilders must follow it for 2 to 3 week range with a least one month off in between and follow this course with no concern. Pregnyl can be used with Clomid or Nolvadex in the PCT and continue using them after HCG is no longer part of the cycle.
