Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) for Research
Technical Overview
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a research-grade formulation of a naturally occurring glycoprotein hormone that regulates reproductive processes. Researchers use it to study endocrine function and hormonal interactions, including its role in stimulating gonadal function and modulating hormonal activity.
Research applications
- Hormonal balance: its role in stimulating natural hormone production, including testosterone.
- Fat metabolism: its possible role in regulating fat breakdown and body composition.
- Reproductive research: fertility and reproductive hormone regulation.
- Muscle mass: its impact on maintaining muscle mass in metabolic studies.
- Endocrine research: the function of endocrine glands in research models.
Scientists focus on how HCG binds to its receptors and how this influences testosterone production in males and the regulation of follicular development in females, making it a core tool in endocrine and reproductive research.

Storage & Intended Use
Storage Instructions
Handling and Storage Tips:
- On arrival, store the sealed vial at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture.
- For short-term storage (days to weeks), refrigeration at 2–8 °C is acceptable.
- Lyophilized peptides tolerate room temperature for short periods, such as during shipping.
- Let the vial reach room temperature before opening, to avoid condensation.
- Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated at 2–8 °C and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HCG third-party tested?
Yes. Each lot is tested by Bioviridian, an independent HPLC-MS laboratory, for identity (mass spectrometry), purity (RP-HPLC), content and endotoxin, and the Certificate of Analysis is published for that lot.
Can I see the Certificate of Analysis before buying?
Yes. Download it from the Documents section above, or search the lot number in our COA library.
What does 'Research Use Only' mean?
Products are supplied only for laboratory research. They are not drugs, foods, supplements or cosmetics and are not for human or veterinary use.
How is it shipped and stored?
Cold-packed with tracking, same day on orders by 2 PM ET. Store lyophilized vials at −20 °C on arrival.
