question from a user
Just out of curiosity, why is some of the Hcg prescribed for intramuscular injections by regular docs? My understanding is that it works better subcutaneously.
AlphaMD's Answer
hCG can be either SQ or IM. Most men will see better absorption and synthesis by the body via SQ. SQ also won't ruin arm or leg day or cause you to have to rotate big muscles especially if you are doing twice or 3 times weekly.
