Check out the step-by-step guide and clear video provided below for the full demonstration.

How to mix HCG?

Here is how you can mix HCG powder:

1. Clean your table surface and prepare the area, along with washing your hands and ensuring you have a sharps bin available. Ensure you have the correct syringes available, in this example, we use a 2ml.
2. Ensure you have a needle filter ready and alcohol wipes.
3. The box comes with 3 separate vials, simply pull out one and discard the sterile water provided in the box.
4. Prepare the needle and syringe by peeling back the packaging without touching the needles, then attaching the filter needle to the syringe by screwing them together.
5. Get the ampule and snap it away from yourself like you are breaking a Kit Kat open. Put your thumb on the red dot of the ampule and hold the base with the other hand and snap it open.
6. Take your 2ml syringe with the needle filter and remove the cap of the needle, then place the needle into the open ampule and take out a bit more than 2ml of the saline fluid we supplied you with.
7. Snap open the HCG protected seal vial and wipe the top with an alcohol swab.
8. Take your 23-gauge needle and replace the other needle used to get the saline fluid into the syringe, and ensure you have 2ml of fluid in the syringe.
9. Push the needle into the centre of the vial and slowly push the sterile saline into the vial with the HCG.
10. Release the pressure on your thumb and the air will be removed from the vial. Discard the syringe and needle in the sharps bin.
11. Gently swirl (don’t shake) the vial until the HCG powder is completely dissolved and the mixture/solution is clear.

How to inject HCG?

HCG is injected subcutaneously as explained below:

1. Clean and wipe the injection area and open your new syringe, removing the cap and place the needle in the middle of the mixed vial.
2. Flip the vial upside down and remove to the 50mark or half a ml mark, ensuring you get all the bubbles out of the syringe. Tap on the needle to ensure all bubbles are removed and adjust as necessary.
3. Pinch the area of skin and use the right injection techniques to administer HCG. Insert the needle at 45 degree angle, simply inject and depress the needle. Discard in the sharps bin and clean your area.
4. Take your HCG and store it in the fridge.

Human chorionic gonadotropin dosing depends on your individual needs, such as whether you need it to enhance fertility, testicular size, testicular function or your current testosterone levels.

Talk to your doctor for dosing instructions that suit your specific hormone and health requirements. Always maintain your dosage as directed by your healthcare provider.

HCG medication is given as a subcutaneous injection. Its most common injection sites are:

• Back of the upper arm
