Research compound supplied in Australia by Pulse Biolabs for laboratory use. Available in 5000 IU, 10000 IU.
The placenta makes a hormone so similar to the pituitary’s luteinising hormone that both activate the same receptor on the ovary and testis. That overlap is why hCG is studied.
hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a two-subunit glycoprotein hormone from the placenta whose beta subunit closely resembles luteinising hormone, so both activate the same LH/CG receptor on the ovary and testis. It is studied and used clinically because that overlap lets it act directly on the gonads when the pituitary signal is absent or a timed surge is needed. Evidence is human, from randomised fertility trials with registered urinary and recombinant products.
