Human chorionic gonadotropin, commonly abbreviated as hCG, is a glycoprotein hormone composed of noncovalently associated alpha and beta subunits. Naturally occurring hCG is produced by placental tissue and is structurally related to other glycoprotein hormones, including luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and thyroid-stimulating hormone.
In controlled laboratory environments, hCG may be studied in connection with hormone-receptor binding, glycoprotein structure, intracellular signaling, reproductive biology, endocrine-system models, and analytical assay development.
Full research description
The biological activity of hCG is commonly expressed in International Units (IU) rather than solely by mass. Therefore, the stated 5mg / 5000IU specifications describe different characteristics and should not be treated as automatically interchangeable. Product identity, concentration, purity, and biological activity should be confirmed through appropriate batch-specific analytical documentation.
HCG is also the active ingredient in FDA-approved prescription medicines for specific medical indications. This research material is not represented as an approved pharmaceutical product, is not interchangeable with an FDA-approved medicine, and is not intended for fertility treatment, hormone therapy, weight management, bodybuilding, post-cycle therapy, or any other administration to humans or animals. FDA states that prescription hCG products are not approved for weight loss or for use without a prescription.
Any references to FDA-approved pharmaceutical hCG products are provided solely to distinguish those regulated medicines from this laboratory research material. They do not establish the safety, effectiveness, potency, sterility, dosage, or suitability of this product for clinical use.
Storage & handling
Before reconstitution. Keep the sealed vial cool and dark. Lyophilized peptides are stable this way for the period stated on the certificate.
Reconstitution. Add bacteriostatic water slowly against the inside wall of the vial. Swirl gently to dissolve — never shake, as agitation can damage the peptide chain.
After reconstitution. Store refrigerated and use within the window appropriate for the compound under study. Do not freeze once in solution.
Check that the batch code on the label matches your packing slip on arrival.
COA & testing
Every batch is analysed by an independent laboratory before it is listed. The method for this compound is SDS-PAGE + RP-HPLC.
The certificate shows the main peak purity, the impurity profile, the test date and the laboratory that performed it — tied to the batch code printed on your vial.
Batch for this listing: SP-HCG-2608A. Look it up here.
