Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or HCG is a powerful polypeptide hormone found in pregnant women. HCG is a natural analog of LH, the pituitary-produced hormone which stimulates sex hormone production in the testes or ovaries. HCG binds and activates the same receptor as LH and is equally effective in stimulating testosterone production in men, or estrogen production in females.

HCG is regularly used by many anabolic steroid users throughout a cycle or as part of the PCT protocl. During the cycle, the idea behind supplementation is to combat hormonal suppression that occurs due to steroid use. Use after cycle is to enhance or produce a more efficient recovery.
