Cited findings
Spermatogenesis preserved

What HCG is
A placental hormone that speaks the language of LH — a long-studied tool of the testicular axis.
Each vial contains 5,000 IU of lyophilised human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), supplied as a sterile powder for reconstitution. hCG is a placental glycoprotein hormone (an alpha subunit shared with LH, FSH and TSH, plus a hormone-specific beta subunit) that binds the LH/hCG receptor. On testicular Leydig cells this stimulates testosterone production, which is why the endocrine literature studies it in secondary hypogonadism and in preserving or restoring spermatogenesis around testosterone therapy. As a medicine it is a registered prescription fertility product, and in sport it is prohibited for men. It holds no registration as a medicine in South Africa in this form and is supplied here strictly as research material. Findings described are from published laboratory, animal and clinical-research literature and are not statements about outcomes for any reader.
Mechanism, as studied
hCG binds the LH/hCG receptor on Leydig cells, standing in for pituitary LH.
- STEP 01Glycoprotein with an alpha subunit shared with LH, FSH and TSH
- STEP 02Binds the LH/hCG receptor on testicular Leydig cells
- STEP 03Stimulates intratesticular testosterone production
- STEP 04Supports spermatogenesis where pituitary LH is suppressed
