HCG

Overview

HCG 5000 IU is under investigation for its potential to support gonadal function by stimulating testosterone production in males and ovulation in females. Its molecular activity on LH receptors has made it a relevant research compound in fertility and endocrine studies.

Product Research

• Role in Male Hypogonadism

  HCG has been shown to stimulate testosterone production in males by acting directly on the Leydig cells of the testes. Research supports its utility in treating hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and promoting spermatogenesis in male subjects [1].

• Use in Female Ovulation Induction

  In assisted reproductive research, HCG mimics the mid-cycle LH surge, triggering final maturation and release of the oocyte. It is often studied in conjunction with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in ovulation induction protocols [2].

• Cryptorchidism Research

  HCG has been explored as a non-surgical treatment for cryptorchidism in prepubertal boys, showing success in stimulating testicular descent in a subset of patients [3].

• Hormonal Feedback and Endocrine Studies

  Studies have shown that HCG can influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and is commonly used in research exploring negative feedback mechanisms of testosterone and gonadotropin regulation [4].

• Misuse and Safety Concerns

  Despite its legitimate research uses, HCG has also been misused in unsupported weight loss protocols. Studies and official health guidelines caution against this, citing lack of efficacy and potential for adverse effects [5].
