HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) 5000IU

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) – Product Information

The current version of ‘HCG Highly Purified Grade’ is a lyophilized powder form, distinct from the previous liquid formulation. To reconstitute it, you will need to acquire bacteriostatic water separately.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone produced primarily by differentiated syncytiotrophoblasts and represents a key embryonic signal that is essential for the maintenance of pregnancy. HCG is also used for potential application in increasing the probability of pregnancy when combined with other fertility compounds. In men or adolescent boys, hCG may help the production of testosterone and sperm and is also studied as a potential treatment modality for male children with cryptorchidism, a specific birth problem of the testes.

What is HCG?

Human chorionic gonadotropin is frequently detected in the placental cells during pregnancy, and human peptide is a synthetic peptide form of this hormone. Its main function is to aid in the placenta’s overall development. However, researchers have discovered that using hCG has a number of additional potential advantages. It has been reported to increase male fertility and restore testosterone production in men, as a result helping treat infertility and low sperm count. The glycoprotein has a molecular weight of 36.7 kDa and is made up of 244 amino acids. It has an (alpha) subunit that is the same as that of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), as well as a (beta) subunit that is specific to hCG. It is heterodimeric.

HCG Research

Multiple clinical trials and studies on the potential use of hCG have been conducted. In this section, we’re going to highlight some of the relevant research findings. However, we sell this human chorionic gonadotropin, highly purified, for laboratory research use only and not for human consumption.

HCG and The Potential for Hypogonadism

Human chorionic gonadotropin has long been a potential treatment modality to help address the symptoms of hypogonadism, such as low levels of testosterone and infertility. This is due to the potential ability of HCG to increase testosterone production and sperm, which may aid in reducing infertility. A 2019 review found the treatment of hypogonadal symptoms with HCG for men who have a baseline testosterone level > 300 ng/dL to potentially be safe and efficacious with no adverse events. An additional 2018 study found that whether administered alone or in conjunction with testosterone, it can assist men with hypogonadism maintain their fertility. It may additionally aid in restoring sperm production and sperm count.

Potential to Improve Testosterone Deficiency

According to the American Urology Association (AUA) a total testosterone level <300ng/dL should be the benchmark used by doctors and clinicians as the threshold for diagnosing hypogonadism and for the potential use of testosterone replacement therapy. Human chorionic gonadotropin is an analogue of Luteinizing Hormone (LH). LH is produced naturally in the pituitary gland and is the primary signaling hormone that tells the testicles to make more testosterone. In effect, using hCG potentially stimulates a man’s body to naturally up-regulate testosterone production. A small study from 2019 reviewed the clinical charts of 37 men that presented with low libido, low energy, erectile dysfunction, and insomnia and had a serum testosterone level > 300ng/DL. These men were given hCG for their potential treatment of symptoms. HCG monotherapy potentially improved testosterone levels by as much as 263 ng/DL (42.8%). While improvement in symptoms was not the primary outcome study of this investigation, the use of it to potentially raise testosterone levels was evident.

HCG and Sexual Dysfunction

A double-blind placebo-controlled study done on forty-five cases of nonorganic failure or lack of sexual desire, treated subjects for one month, either with human chorionic gonadotropins or with a placebo. The study found it to potentially give better results compared to the placebo and improved a higher number of sexual parameters than the placebo. This alludes to the potential of it as a useful option in the sexological treatment of erectile failure and low sex drive.
