HCG – How to mix and store

Intro

There seems to be endless discussions online about how to mix and correctly store HCG. This post aims to end them once and for all.

The problem

The main issue with HCG is that it doesn’t last very long once it has been reconsituted. Medically, vials of HCG are intended to be used in bolus doses within days of reconstitution.

This is no good for bodybuilding purposes… where it’s common to use smaller amounts of HCG to keep the testicles functional and to prevent atrophy, leading to shutdown and oxidative damage while on cycle.

After a short amount of time, the HCG will begin to rapidly degrade and lose potency simply because it isn’t designed to last very long!

Even the medical inserts say that it should be used within 30 days.

It’s very common for guys to believe that they stop responding to HCG after a certain amount of time, only to come to realise that they just needed to open a new vial and all the effects come back.

The solution

The solution to this problem is simply to preload insulin syringes immediately after reconstituting the HCG with bacteriostatic water and storing them in the freezer.

…but doesnt the freezing process damage the HCG?

Yes and no.

More accurately, repeated freeze/thaw cycles damage HCG.

With the process detailed below, the HCG only ever goes through one freeze/thaw event before it is consumed.

How to mix and store HCG step-by-step

What you will need:

• Freeze dried HCG
• Bacteriostatic water
• 29G insulin syringes
• A hard airtight container

The process:

1. Unbox HCG
2. Draw 1ml of bacteriostatic water with a 29G insulin syringe and reconstitute the HCG
3. Decide upon your dosage

The minimum amount of HCG to prevent testicular damage while on cycle is 500iu/week split into two injections.

This would mean a 5000iu vial lasts 10 weeks (20 x 250iu).

However if you are using HCG to PCT you’ll typically use a higher dose so calculate and split the doses accordingly.However if you are using HCG to PCT you’ll typically use a higher dose so calculate and split the doses accordingly.

4. Split the HCG evenly depending on your desired dose

5. Store the loaded HCG syringes in the hard container and put it in the freezer.

Simply withdraw a syringe from the freezer when required and allow 10 minutes to defrost before use.
