[QUOTE="Gene Devine, post: 17111, member: 4"] Every well respected TRT Physician I know would never prescribe at these doses because they know that over dosing doesn't mean you will get more endogenous Testosterone. You could do just as well on much smaller daily doses. Read this excerpt from Dr. Crisler's new book and you will understand. [I]Many years ago I found very low doses, (compared to the common practice of taking massive amounts of HCG—as much as 5000 IU per shot) of HCG quite sufficient. The strategy is to provide a physiologic (within normal range) serum concentration of this LH mimic. This not only makes the testicles produce what they can, it also makes them work at their best. Much is made on the message boards about potential inhibition of testosterone production by long-term HCG use. That only happens when you take too much. When you think about it, IF achieving what amounts to a normal range of a LH mimic down-regulates, then everyone would be naturally down-regulated.

[/I] [I]Keep in mind taking too much (“too much” varies from individual to individual) HCG does not produce more testosterone—there are only so many testosterone producing Leydig cells to stimulate—but it does ramp up aromatase activity, the enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen.
