Subcutaneous Use of HCG

HCG is a peptide hormone similar to Growth Hormone and therefore can be administered under the skin with a small needle (subcutaneous), or in the muscle with a larger needle (intramuscular). Subcutaneous injections of drugs that can be used both under the skin and in the muscle differ in the speed of "onset of action". If you inject HCG subcutaneous, you will have a slower onset of action and it will last longer (longer half-life).

If we inject subcutaneous, we make for more physiological release of the hormone and create a more natural level of testosterone stimulation and restoration. Also, if we are seasoned users, we don't have to poke ourselves with another big-ass needle. Sub-Q injections are no big deal. The effective half-life of HCG subcutaneous is 2-3 days where intramuscular it is abou a day or so.

Our bodies tend to release natural LH (the hormone we are mimicking with HCG) every single day in small bursts. This type of hormone is called a circadian hormone meaning that it is regulated in pulses throughout a 24hr period. If we are trying to normalize our system, it makes sense to restore it using drugs in a method which allow the must "natural"/"normal" manner to do so.

If you do not have severe testicular shrinkage, this method works fine. You do not have as much HCG hitting the leydig cells at a single time. If you have more severe testicular suppression and shrinkage, a more advanced technique may be needed. Intramuscular Use of HCG
