Description
HCG 5000 IU Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It supports the corpus luteum, which in turn produces progesterone, crucial for maintaining the uterine lining and pregnancy. HCG 5000 IU has structural similarities to luteinizing hormone (LH) and can bind to LH receptors, playing roles in sexual development and reproductive function.
HCG is critical in pregnancy for the production of progesterone. It is often used in fertility treatments to induce ovulation. Swiss Chems HCG 5000 IU is derived from the urine of pregnant women and is known for its high purity and effectiveness.

Clinical Applications and Benefits
- Fertility Treatments: HCG is commonly used to trigger ovulation in women undergoing fertility treatments.

- Findings: This study highlights the long-lasting effects of HCG on testosterone levels in men, demonstrating its efficacy in treating conditions requiring increased testosterone.
Effects on Serum and Urine LH and Androgens:
- Study: Handelsman, D. J., Goebel, C., Idan, A., Jimenez, M., Trout, G., & Kazlauskas, R. (2009). “Effects of recombinant human LH and hCG on serum and urine LH and androgens in men.” Clinical Endocrinology, 71(3), 417-428.
- Findings: This research investigates the impact of HCG and recombinant human LH on androgen levels, providing insight into their therapeutic roles in men.
