What is HCG?

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a natural hormone, widely used to treat male infertility.

How does HCG work?

HCG is found to mimic the effects ofLuteinizing Hormone (LH) in males. LH plays

a vital role in synthesis and secretion oftestosterone from within the testes.

It is widely used for a type of hypogonadismin which the body doesn’t adequatelystimulate the testes to produce sex

hormone testosterone.

Is HCG safe?

HCG injections are approved by FDA to treatspecific medical conditions in both men and women.

HCG is incredibly safe, so the patient will not sufferfrom any adverse side effects at all.
