Description
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone composed of alpha and beta subunits, produced by the placenta during pregnancy to maintain progesterone production. It mimics luteinizing hormone (LH), making it effective in fertility treatments, testosterone stimulation in men, and weight management protocols.
Key Characteristics & Functions
• Structure: hCG is a heterodimeric glycoprotein. It consists of an alpha subunit—which is identical to those found in FSH, LH, and TSH—and a unique beta subunit that determines its specific biological function.
• Mechanism of Action: The hormone works by binding to LH receptors. In women, this stimulates the corpus luteum to support pregnancy; in men, it acts on the Leydig cells in the testes to trigger the natural production of testosterone.
• Administration: It is a peptide-based hormone, meaning it cannot be taken orally as the digestive system would break it down. Instead, it is typically administered through intramuscular or subcutaneous injections.
hCG is highly effective for managing hormonal imbalances related to fertility and testosterone production but is primarily known for its role in pregnancy diagnostics.

I use this post cycle and after waiting 3 weeks from my last test cyp dose I start dosing this and it brought my natural test levels back to normal plus some. My levels after cycle were 290, after 3 weeks on HCG my levels were at 980
