I use HCG as I think many who read this forum do also. However, we should should all realize that there are certain risks.

Off the top of my head, here are a simple dozen (I'm sure there are more):

1. Very few mainstream docs will prescribe it for TRT use.
2, Most of the HCG manufacturers do not list TRT as an approved use.
3. Those that do, have limits placed on how long it could be used.
4. Dosages that are typically used are not FDA approved.
5. There are very few studies showing the efficacy of HCG for TRT.
6. There are no long-terms studies demonstrating the safety of HCG use in men.

Because many guys use the product prepared from human urine, they run the following risks:

7. Manyl HCG preps contain prion proteins (cause Mad Cow Disease)
8. HCG preps vary tremendously in purity of the intact HCG molecule: most are contaminated to various degrees by lesser molecular weight fragments
9. Auto-immune reactions to urine contaminants are a real possibility, especially after long-term use.
10. Biochemically, HCG is the wrong product to use in men: LH/FSH are the correct ones.
11. HMG is a better choice than HCG
12. Frequent injections of any foreign substance into the body should be avoided.
