HCG (10,000 IU)
$100.00
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) 10,000 IU — lyophilized glycoprotein hormone for testosterone/fertility research. LH analogue that directly stimulates testicular Leydig cells. For research use only.
Description
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone structurally similar to luteinizing hormone (LH). It directly stimulates Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, making it a powerful tool for maintaining testicular function during TRT, restoring testicular volume post-cycle, and treating hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Extensively studied in male fertility and testosterone restoration.
Mechanism of Action: Binds LH/CG receptors on testicular Leydig cells, directly stimulating testosterone biosynthesis via the cAMP-PKA signaling pathway. Also supports Sertoli cell function and spermatogenesis via FSH-like effects at high doses. Unlike upstream HPG stimulants, HCG acts directly at the gonadal level.
