question from a user
Is there any information about using hcg with trt that contains benefits outside of fertility and ball size? I’m old and done with kids and don’t care about ball size so what other benefits would hcg provide to me?
AlphaMD's Answer
There can be some. Some men have reported having better Estrogen levels or having it help with libido while on TRT.
From our viewpoint though, when you mix Testosterone with HCG, Testosterone is going 99% of the heavy lifting with the benefits you feel from therapy outside of cosmetic teste size and fertility.
There's not reason to *not* use HCG outside of the very high price tag, but it also doesn't add much. Most men who aren't concerned about fertility opt out of the extra $90-170 a month for HCG because of that.
