HCG
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone naturally produced during pregnancy that mimics luteinizing hormone (LH) activity. It's FDA-approved for fertility treatments and hypogonadism in men. HCG stimulates testosterone production in males and triggers ovulation in females, making it valuable for hormone support, fertility preservation during testosterone therapy, and reproductive treatments.
