hCG Benefit?

Yes, there are many benefits of taking HCG when a man is primary. There are LH receptors throughout our bodies, besides the receptors of the leydig cells, including the brain and lining of our blood vessels and elsewhere...and they are there for a reason.

When we are HPTA suppressed due to Testosterone supplementation we need HCG (an LH analog) to keep our testes functioning for Secondary men but also to make sure those other LH receptors throughout a man's body are being activated.

There are a number of TRT Doc's who have had Primary man use HCG and many of these patients have claimed a better sense of self being and increase libido...so it's doing something for them.

Yeah, Dr. Crisler mentioned the LH receptors all over the body and surmised that this may be why taking hCG even when primary can increase well being.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
