HCG and nolvadex are totally different but Nolva and Clomid are very similar in what they are going to do for you in PCT. Adding them together is not going to be that much more beneficial. So if you wanted to get better recovery, your best option would be to use EITHER nolva or clo and then add HCG. Then you are attacking recovery from 2 unique angles. On the other hand, those over the counter supps you mentioned are going to be nothing like HCG. I would not even waste your time. I don't understand why you would have issue with HCG. Maybe you are misunderstanding something you are reading about it
