Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone primarily produced during pregnancy by the placenta. It is used medically for various applications, including fertility treatments and, in some cases, weight management protocols.
Functions and Mechanism of Action:
- Reproductive Hormone: HCG supports the production of progesterone during pregnancy, essential for maintaining a healthy uterine lining and supporting early fetal development.
- Mimics Luteinizing Hormone (LH): In both men and women, HCG mimics LH, which stimulates the gonads (ovaries in women, testes in men) to produce sex hormones.
