HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) — 5000IU

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone structurally homologous to Luteinising Hormone (LH), sharing the same LH receptor binding domain. Naturally produced during pregnancy, HCG has become one of the most extensively studied hormones in reproductive endocrinology, gonadal function research, and HPG axis biology — valued for its potent and well-characterised LH-mimetic activity.

Mechanism of Interest
HCG binds to the LH/hCG receptor (LHCGR) with high affinity, stimulating the same downstream signalling cascades as endogenous LH. In male reproductive research models, this translates to Leydig cell stimulation and intratesticular testosterone production. In female models, HCG is studied for its role in triggering final oocyte maturation and luteinisation. Its long half-life relative to LH makes it a particularly practical research tool for sustained gonadotropin receptor stimulation studies.
