HORMONE & REPRODUCTIVE RESEARCH

hCG

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, studied for supporting natural testosterone production and testicular function.

hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a peptide hormone studied in male hormone optimization, fertility preservation, and post-cycle protocols to support natural testosterone production and testicular function. It is FDA-approved in its clinical formulations with extensive clinical use.

Why BLP features hCG

Included because it is FDA-approved, works through a well-characterized LH-mimetic mechanism, and has extensive, consistent clinical and research use. It anchors the established end of the hormone-research spectrum.

Mechanism

Mimics luteinizing hormone (LH) to directly stimulate testicular Leydig cells.

Promotes endogenous testosterone production and maintains spermatogenesis during exogenous hormone suppression.

Supports intratesticular testosterone and helps restore HPT-axis function.

WHAT THE RESEARCH MEASURED

Research findings

Findings describe study outcomes, not expected personal results.

Human research findings

  • Clinical research reports prevention or reversal of testicular atrophy during hormone-suppression protocols.
  • Reported maintained or improved fertility markers and sperm parameters.
  • Reported support for natural testosterone recovery during post-cycle therapy.
  • Reported improvements in mood, libido, and energy. Rare mild water retention at higher doses.

Mechanistic & supporting research

  • LH-mimetic mechanism very well characterized.
  • Testicular and HPT-axis effects documented across clinical research.
