Any downside to micro dosing HCG? I take 60 units per week, 17 units EOD. I have heard it is not as effective at low doses. True? Would I be better off doing 30 units 2x per week?

AlphaMD's Answer

I wouldn't say there's a downside to micro dosing vs more spread out injections on paper. The trouble is that when you're working with those very very small units a lot more of it tends to get lost in the needle/syringe, so a larger % of your medication may be getting lost with each injection doing it more often.

Usually twice a week should be just fine. One thing to remember about HCG is that although the medication's half life is not very long, that does not mean it needs increased frequency. HCG causes downstream effects & promotes your body to do further actions which results in changes/effects for much longer than the medications duration itself.
