HCG need question

On TRT and Anastrazole, curious if HCG will help with fat loss and perhaps other benefits. No testicular issues and no need for fertility so curious if taking HCG makes any sense. Thanks!
 
What are the details of your protocol? Are you pleased with what you've achieved?

HCG is used, as you know, for fertility and to maintain testicular volume. It also plays a role in restoring hormonal pathways that may have been adversely impacted by the suppression of your HPTA axis. That is why I use it. The "HCG diet" has been debunked.

There are multiple threads in the sticky section of the folder you posted in detailing HCG and its uses/value.
 
The use of HCG is a very individual thing. I'm one that really likes it, others have no need for it. If you feeling good on your present protocol, you may never need it.

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.
