Chorionic gonadotropin in post-course therapy
23 Aug 2017
Post-course therapy (PÑT) is a pharmacological technique necessary to restore normal functioning of the body after a course of anabolic steroids. It helps to restore the hormonal background, prevents the development of gynecomastia, oligospermia and atrophy of the testicles, and also actively struggles with the phenomenon of "recoil". After the cycle, preparations of a different mode of action are used. One of the components, Chorionic Gonadotropin on PCT, is recommended to use to increase the production of own, endogenous testosterone.
Effect of gonadotropin on the bodybuilding organism
HCG is a polypeptide hormone that is an analog of LH, which is characterized by effects similar to testosterone. Stimulating the secretion of its own androgens, it helps to restore the size of the testicles after the course of androgenic anabolic steroids. Gonadotropin on PCT, specifically interacting with the membrane receptors of luteotropin, increases the level of steroid hormone, which ensures the uninterrupted operation of the entire male body.
After injecting the drug for 5-6 days, a sharp increase in the concentration of testosterone in the blood plasma. This state allows you to recover faster after AAS and keep the testicles sensitive to their own gonadotropic hormones. To obtain the optimal effect of Gonadotropin on PCT, it is recommended to use 250 IU twice a week, for 35 days, starting from the sixth week of course use of steroids. With months of courses, the drug is taken continuously. However, in this case, experts advise after 4-5 weeks of use to take a ten-day break (to avoid the development of addiction and the occurrence of side effects).
In addition to recombinant Gonadotropin, the current PCT, conducted after a powerful steroid course, includes other drugs that allow the athlete's endocrine system to be restored in the shortest possible time. This pharmacological complex includes aromatase inhibitors, Growth Hormone or peptides, and Tamoxifen, which helps improve the stiffness index of muscles and increase the level of production of own testosterone.
Overdose of Gonadotropin during post-course therapy can provoke the development of gynecomastia, lead to inflammation of the sebaceous glands, baldness or increased hair growth, and also cause an increase in the size of the prostate.
