HCG 5000iu

hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a natural glycoprotein hormone made of amino acid chains that mimics luteinizing hormone to stimulate reproductive functions and hormone production. 

What is hCG?

• Structure: It is a heterodimeric molecule, meaning it has two joined parts (an alpha subunit and a unique beta subunit) totaling 237 amino acids. 
• Natural Origin: The body naturally produces hCG during pregnancy, primarily through the developing embryo and placenta, to maintain progesterone levels. 
• Mechanism: It binds to luteinizing hormone receptors in the body, triggering cellular pathways that promote steroid production. 

Medical Uses

Doctors prescribe pharmaceutical-grade hCG for specific medical treatments: 

• Fertility in Women: It triggers ovulation (the release of an egg) during assisted reproductive cycles.
• Fertility and Testosterone in Men: It stimulates the testes to produce natural testosterone and sperm.
• Testosterone Support: Doctors sometimes prescribe it alongside testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to maintain testicular size and natural function.
• Undescended Testicles: It helps treat cryptorchidism in young boys by encouraging testicles to move into the scrotum.
