High Quality HCG

Product Detail

HCG, Chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone found in the female body during the early months of pregnancy (it is produced in the placenta). It is in fact the pregnancy indicator looked at by the over the counter pregnancy test kits, as due to its origin it is not found in the body at any other time. Blood levels of this hormone will become noticeable as early as seven days after ovulation. The level will rise evenly, reaching a peak at approximately two to three months into gestation. After this point, the hormone level will drop gradually until the point of birth. As a prescription drug, HCG offers us some interesting benefits. In the United States, we have the two popular brands, Pregnyl, made by Organon, and Lepori, made by Farma- Lepori, Spain. These are FDA approved for the treatment of undescended testicles in young boys, hypogonadism as a fertility drug used to aid in inducing ovulation in women. When prepared as a medical item, this hormone comes from a human origin. Although there is often a fear of biological origin products, there is little research to be found regarding pathogen or sterility problems with HCG. The problems seen with human origin growth hormone are certainly not to be repeated with HCG, as this compound is obtained in a much different way. While HCG offers the female no performance enhancing ability,




Main function

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone that is normally produced first by the cells that make up the placenta, then later by the placenta during pregnancy. Its primary function is to support the pregnancy by encouraging the production of progesterone. This supports and promotes the further development of the placenta early in pregnancy. This hormone causes a rapid progesterone increase early in pregnancy, but tapers off slowly as the placenta grows enough to produce enough progesterone to support the pregnancy on its own. The glycoprotein also serves in aiding in the development of gonads in the fetus and the production of androgens by the testes of a male fetus.
