hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone that mimics luteinizing hormone (LH), the signal the brain naturally sends to the testes to produce testosterone and sperm. By providing that signal directly, hCG may help support natural testosterone production and testicular function. It is used by men addressing low testosterone, men who want to preserve fertility during TRT, or as part of a hormone optimization plan. It is prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy on your clinician's prescription.
What it can help with
- Natural testosterone production — may support it by signaling the testes directly
- Testicular function and size — may help maintain testicular function in men on TRT
- Fertility preservation — may support sperm production
- TRT complement — often used alongside testosterone to keep the body's own pathways active
What to expect
Many patients notice changes in energy, libido, or testicular function within 4 to 8 weeks, with fuller effects over 3 to 6 months. Your clinician will use follow-up labs to adjust your plan. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
How it works
Recent lab work is required (from the last 12 months, drawn between 7 and 10 a.m.). How to use it: A small subcutaneous injection you give yourself once or twice a week. It is a 3-month supply; a new supply arrives automatically every 12 weeks.
How to start: Place your order, complete a brief online medical intake, and upload your recent lab work. A licensed clinician reviews your labs and history to determine whether the treatment is appropriate for you. A short telehealth appointment is required (at no additional cost) before a prescription is issued. If approved, your treatment is prepared by a state-licensed pharmacy and shipped discreetly to your door.
After your first delivery, a new supply arrives automatically every 12 weeks. You can delay a shipment or cancel anytime from your account.
Your dose: Personalized by your clinician and adjusted over time based on how your body responds to treatment and how your health needs change.
Important to know
- hCG is a prescription medication and requires evaluation by a licensed clinician.
- The FDA-approved use of hCG is for certain reproductive and fertility conditions. Its use for male hormone optimization is off-label.
- It is compounded by a state-licensed pharmacy and is not FDA-approved as a finished product. hCG is not a weight-loss medication; the FDA has warned against that use.
- It requires documented low testosterone or a specific clinical indication, with ongoing monitoring. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
