HCG is a leutenizing hormone analogue. HCG is normally only produced endogenously during pregnancy in women, but it is also used exogenously to stimulate the leydig cells in male testes. Stimulating leydig cells produce testosterone in the presence of LH or HCG.

The only reliable way to take HCG is via injection (and maybe eye drops or intranasally, but I'm unsure).

In combination with aromatase inhibitors, it's often used as the first option for hormone replacement therapy before using testosterone injections. By using HCG instead of exogenous hormones, you can maintain a cascade of hormones that otherwise might be diminished by traditional TRT.
