HCG 5000IU (10 Vials / Kit)

What is HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)?

HCG is a two-subunit glycoprotein hormone naturally produced by placental tissue during pregnancy, sharing a common alpha subunit with LH, FSH and TSH alongside a hormone-specific beta subunit. Pharmaceutical hCG, whether purified from urine or produced recombinantly, is an approved medicine used clinically for specific fertility indications.

This listing is HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) (10 vials × 5000IU) from UWA Biotech (United States), sold on Stairway to Gray with escrow: your payment is held until the order arrives and only then released to the brand.

How it is understood to work

HCG binds the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR), mimicking LH activity to stimulate testosterone synthesis in testicular Leydig cells and progesterone production by the corpus luteum, making it a standard tool for probing gonadal steroidogenesis.

Research status

In reproductive-endocrinology research, hCG is used to study the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, gonadal function and steroidogenic response, and it also serves clinically as an approved fertility treatment; research-grade material sold here is intended for laboratory study, not clinical administration.
