Pregnyl Efficiency in Bodybuilding

Human chorionic gonadotropin (Pregnyl) is the only drug from the entire range of prohibited peptide hormones, the use of which in men can currently be reliably determined in doping control.

This hormone is produced during pregnancy in women and promotes estradiol and progesterone production. The use of human chorionic gonadotropin in men increases the synthesis of testosterone in the body. Since human chorionic gonadotropin is not synthesized in men, its presence in the athletes' urine indicates an exogenous intake of this hormone into the body.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Sports

The main reason athletes are interested in human chorionic gonadotropin is that exogenous hCG has almost the same properties as the pituitary luteinizing hormone. In men, luteinizing hormone stimulates the sex cells in the testicles and increases the production of androgen hormones (testosterone). Therefore, injectable hCG is used by athletes to increase testosterone production. Human chorionic gonadotropin is most often used in combination with anabolic steroids (at the end or in the middle of the steroid cycle). As already mentioned, anabolic steroids inhibit the production of follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones by the principle of feedback, as a result of which testosterone production decreases.

Advantages of Pregnyl:

• almost immediate effect;
• does not retain water in the human body;
• burns excess fat cells;
• makes the athlete more resilient;
• improves mood.

It is also necessary to add that if an athlete uses the drug correctly and in the indicated doses, it has a beneficial effect on his body as a whole, helps to overcome heavy loads, prepare well and to the maximum for competitions, without causing side effects.

Main characteristics of the drug

Pregnyl is used not only to improve physical fitness but also to treat infertility in both men and women. The main function of this medication is to increase the activity of the secretion of the sexual organ but to use the steroid for such purposes, it is necessary to consult a doctor, undergo diagnostics, and select the ideal dosage option so that the effect is fast and maximum.

It is important to note that in a solo course, Pregnyl provides virtually no effect. On the contrary, a person may face several negative consequences. It is best to combine it with other anabolics. The main thing is to make sure that the forms are different since it is not customary to take several types of solutions or tablets at once. They need to be alternated

Side effects

When taking human chorionic gonadotropin preparations, the same side effects may occur as when taking testosterone. With increased testosterone production, the level of estrogen also increases, which can result in gynecomastia (growth of the mammary glands). In men, noticeable breast growth is observed. Some athletes therefore combine hCG with antiestrogens. Athletes also report more frequent erections and increased sexual interest. In high doses, the drug can also cause acne, as well as accumulation of water and mineral salts in the body.
