Primary Functions

• Stimulates Testosterone Production
  In men, HCG mimics luteinizing hormone (LH), signaling the testes to produce testosterone and sperm.
• Supports Fertility
  In women, it helps trigger ovulation and supports the corpus luteum, which maintains progesterone production in early pregnancy.

Key Benefits & Uses

1. Male Hormone Support
   
   • Maintains or restores natural testosterone production during or after testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
   • Preserves fertility and testicular size during anabolic steroid cycles.
2. Fertility Treatments
   
   • Used in assisted reproduction to induce ovulation.
   • Supports luteal phase in women undergoing fertility protocols.
3. Weight Management (Controversial)
   
   • Some programs pair HCG with very-low-calorie diets, though scientific support for fat-loss benefits is limited and disputed.
4. Medical Indications
   
   • FDA-approved for specific fertility and hormone-related treatments.
   • Used in certain cases to address delayed puberty in boys.
