The former American League Most Valuable Player Jose Canseco, and Dodgers’ left-fielder Manny Ramirez are just few of the famous sports figures who are found positive in using HCG. This compound is given to women who are having problems in their ovulation and to men who have cancer in their testicles. However, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or HCG is recommended to steroid users to help normalize the production of testosterone.
From SFGate:
HCG, the hormone at issue in the suspension of Dodgers left-fielder Manny Ramirez, is produced naturally in the bodies of pregnant women. It helps the unborn child develop.
A synthetic form of human chorionic gonadotropin is prescribed to women with ovulation problems, to young boys whose testicles haven’t descended in a timely manner and to men with testicular cancer.
But among male athletes who are using anabolic steroids, HCG is an important part of the regimen, experts say - a drug that restores the body’s ability to produce testosterone naturally.
Without some natural testosterone production, steroid users risk the loss of muscle mass, slower recovery from workouts - and a range of side effects including atrophied testicles.
“Many female fertility drugs are used to increase testosterone in men,” said Anthony Roberts, author of “Beyond Steroids,” a user’s guide to performance-enhancing drugs. “HCG is incredibly common.”
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or HCG can be purchased in the US through online shops, although it is available over the counter in Mexico and in Dominican Republic.
This compound is given to steroid users because of their low production of natural testosterone. The latter is one of the typical side effects of using anabolic steroids. This is the reason why HCG is always a part of the steroid cycles. Low testosterone can lead to decreased sexual drive, erectile dysfunction and problems in the formation of sperms.
