HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy, but in medical use it is also used to stimulate specific reproductive hormone pathways in both men and women. In men, HCG can mimic luteinizing hormone (LH), signaling the testes to produce more testosterone and support sperm production. Because of that, it is often used in fertility treatment or alongside testosterone-related therapies to help maintain testicular function. In women, HCG can be used in fertility protocols to help trigger ovulation.
Potential benefits associated with HCG depend on the context, but may include support for natural testosterone production, preservation of fertility, stimulation of sperm production, and maintenance of testicular size and function in men. In women undergoing fertility treatment, it may help support ovulation and reproductive timing.
