HCG FORTE is designed to support healthy hormone function and muscle maintenance, particularly in men. It contains human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone that triggers a gentle “wake-up call” to the testes, encouraging them to stay active and continue producing testosterone.

Instead of replacing testosterone from the outside, hCG is often used to support your body’s own hormone signalling, which can be especially helpful in men on testosterone therapy who want to maintain testicular function, transitioning off testosterone and wanting to support their natural hormone recovery and carefully selected low-testosterone cases where a specialist is targeting the underlying hormone pathway

By supporting more robust testosterone production and testicular health, HCG FORTE can form part of a broader plan to maintain lean muscle, strength, energy, mood, libido and overall vitality. 

HCG FORTE is a prescription-only treatment and is not a quick-fix muscle drug. It is not approved specifically for muscle building or anti-ageing; these uses are considered off-label and must be carefully supervised. Your clinician will decide if it is appropriate for you based on blood tests, symptoms, medical history and long-term goals, and will monitor your response over time.

When prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional, clients commonly use HCG FORTE to help support:

Hormone balance & testosterone support (in men)

Supporting the body’s own testosterone production pathway, especially in men using or transitioning from testosterone therapies, or in carefully selected low-testosterone cases.

Muscle maintenance & training response

By assisting hormonal balance, hCG may contribute to better maintenance of lean mass, training consistency and physical performance when combined with resistance training and appropriate nutrition.

Energy, mood & vitality

Optimised hormone signalling is closely linked with energy levels, mood stability, motivation and overall sense of wellbeing.

Reproductive function support (men)

In some men, hCG is used within fertility or testicular-function programs designed by specialists to support sperm and testicular health, alongside other therapies.

*Individual results vary. HCG FORTE is not a stand-alone solution for muscle or hormone issues. It works best as part of a full medical and lifestyle plan, and is not a substitute for healthy nutrition, exercise, sleep or evidence-based medical care.

In most protocols, HCG injections are given in the morning, on the set 1–3 weekly days.

Can be administered with or without food, following clinician advice.

Course Length

Course length is individualised, often spanning several weeks to months depending on:

Hormone results

Clinical goals (muscle maintenance, vitality, fertility support, etc.)

Tolerance and response

Regular review with your practitioner (including lab monitoring where appropriate) is essential.

Listed as a prohibited substance in sport (World Anti‑Doping Code); athletes subject to testing should not use this product

Side Effects, Reactions & Medical Contraindications

Use is generally not recommended in:

• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to hCG or any component of the vial
• Pregnancy (hCG is a pregnancy-related hormone and use outside approved indications must be carefully controlled)
• Hormone-sensitive cancers or history of such cancers (e.g. prostate, breast) unless explicitly cleared by a relevant specialist
• Men with untreated prostate enlargement or suspected/active prostate cancer
• Uncontrolled significant cardiovascular disease, severe kidney or liver disease without specialist oversight
• Individuals with conditions that may be worsened by increased testosterone or fluid retention (e.g. certain clotting disorders, poorly controlled hypertension or heart failure)
• Individuals subject to professional or federation anti-doping testing (WADA / similar), as hCG is a prohibited substance for male athletes in many sporting codes
• Clotting disorders.

Common Side Effects and Adverse Reactions

Often mild and transient where they occur:

• Injection-site reactions
• Redness, itching, mild swelling or small bruises at the injection site
• Fluid retention & bloating
• Mild puffiness, a feeling of water retention or minor weight fluctuations
• Hormonal symptoms (particularly in men)
• Breast tenderness or mild breast enlargement (gynecomastia)
• Changes in libido (increase or, less commonly, decrease)
• Mood changes, irritability or changes in energy
• Headache or mild fatigue. Especially in early weeks as the body adapts
• If symptoms are persistent, uncomfortable or worrying, contact your healthcare provider for review and possible dose adjustment.

Reactions Requiring Medical Attention

Stop injections and contact a healthcare provider (or emergency services if severe) if experiencing:

• Signs of a serious allergic reaction:
• Widespread rash or hives
• Facial, lip or tongue swelling
• Difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Severe hormonal or cardiovascular symptoms, such as:
• Marked breast swelling or pain
• Severe or rapidly worsening mood swings, aggression or mental health changes
• Chest pain, severe shortness of breath or sudden palpitations
• Significant swelling of ankles/hands, rapid unexplained weight gain, or notable rise in blood pressure
• Calf pain or swelling
• Any new or worsening symptom that feels serious, unusual or concerning

Safety Note

HCG FORTE is a hormone-based therapy and must be treated as such. Use should always be:

• Clinician-prescribed and monitored, including appropriate initial assessment and follow-up testing where indicated
• Reviewed regularly for benefit vs risk, side effects and overall hormone balance
• Understood as part of a comprehensive plan, not a quick fix – lifestyle, nutrition, training and sleep remain essential
• Informed consent is essential, including awareness of off-label status for muscle/hormone support and potential implications for competitive sport.
