Overview
This page focuses on how to think about basic dose and exposure concepts in an abstract way for HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and similar peptides. It does not provide dosing instructions or protocols.
Key themes in dosing concepts
- Understanding vial amount, dilution volume, and resulting concentration.
- Relating concentration to an abstract "unit" or hypothetical dose.
- Recognizing that pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination) influence exposure beyond simple vial math.
Context and caveats
Any concrete dosing decisions for HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) must be grounded in product labelling (where it exists), formal clinical guidance, and individualized medical judgment. Educational tools such as calculators and half-life plotters are best treated as aids for understanding, not as dosing engines.
Sport & Anti-Doping Warning
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has been misused by male athletes as part of steroid cycles to stimulate endogenous testosterone and is specifically prohibited in male competitors.

In anti-doping rules, hCG is banned in males and often treated as a marker of attempted steroid cycle manipulation rather than a benign fertility drug.
