HCG

hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)

What is it? hCG is a naturally occurring hormone produced during pregnancy. As a prescription medication, it acts similarly to luteinizing hormone (LH). In males, it can stimulate the testes to produce testosterone and support sperm production. Unlike many of the compounds above, hCG is an established prescription medication for specific medical conditions.
