Anti-estrogens - H.C.G.
HCG is a natural protein hormone. The commercially available HCG is sold as a dry substance and can be used both in men and women. In a man HCG stimulates production of androgenic hormones (testosterone). For this reason athletes use injectable HCG to increase the testosterone production. HCG is often used in combination with anabolic/androgenic steroids during or after treatment. Since the body usually needs a certain amount of time to get its testosterone production going again, the athlete, after discontinuing steroid compounds, experiences a difficult transition phase which often goes hand in hand with a considerable loss in both strength and muscle mass.

Administering HCG directly after steroid treatment helps to reduce this condition because HCG increases the testosterone production in the testes very quickly and reliably. 6000 I.U. of HCG in a single injection resulted in elevated testosterone levels for six days after the injection. The cycles of HCG should be in the 2 to 3 week range with a least one month off in between, you could stretch your cycle out to four weeks without any major concern if you are using lower doses.
HCG causes a quick and significant increase of the endogenic plasma-testosterone level is a good remedy to prevent the loss of strength and mass at the end of a steroid treatment. HCG stimulate endogenous testosterone production.
