In this episode, join Nelson Vergel, founder of ExcelMale.com and DiscountedLabs.com, who shares insights into a hot topic under discussion - the use of HCG in men. Adding weight to the discussion is Alison Woodworth, who possesses vast knowledge on the subject.
The discussion revolves around the usage, composition, and benefits of HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, related to fertility and testosterone levels in men. Woodworth elaborates on how it can be crucial in testosterone replacement therapy due to its potential to stimulate natural production while minimizing the effect on fertility.
You’ll also hear about the different studies on the use of HCG, indicating that well-established research supports its usage. However, Woodworth explains that many medical providers are still unfamiliar with this knowledge and may fail to share this information with their patients. She highlights that the lack of HCG prescriptions covered by insurance has led to the cost burden falling on the patients themselves.
Having addressed the approach of using HCG alone in testosterone therapy, Woodworth turns to the best protocols for its use. She discusses the most effective dosages, the methods of administration, side effects, and the reasons why it is typically not administered on its own.
The episode concludes with advice to those finding it hard to locate medical providers educated on the use of HCG. It offers resources and networks that can help such individuals advance in managing their testosterone levels.
Awareness about HCG is still limited despite the prolific research and practical applications. Tune into this discussion for a detailed understanding of the benefits of HCG for men.
