What is HCG and how can it help men?


If you keep up with the latest in men’s health, perhaps you have heard of HCG. But what makes HCG so popular with medical clinics? In this video, Dr. Justin Saya from Defy Medical explains how human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is used in testosterone replacement for men.



HCG is a new therapy for males on testosterone replacement, and it works to help prevent and even reverse the testicular shrinkage that is common with the use of testosterone. In any hormone replacement therapy, the body usually decreases its own production once it starts receiving that hormone through medical means. When the body’s hormones stop stimulating the testes, men experience “shrinkage” or atrophy. HCG mimics the pituitary glands, keeping your natural testosterone active, thereby minimizing shrinkage. This also helps your natural testosterone stay ready for action if you eventually decide to go off testosterone replacement.

In the past, low fertility has always been an issue for those on testosterone replacement, but recent studies show that HCG actually increases sperm count, minimizing another negative side effect. Find out more for yourself at Defy Medical, or with more helpful videos from ExcelMale.com!

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.
