Helps stimulate the production of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
Administered through injection 2-3 times weekly
The Details
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone that can support testosterone production in men, particularly those over 45. It is used to treat symptoms of testosterone deficiency, increase sperm production, treat hypogonadism, and even reduce the side effects of TRT.

What to know about Generic Pregnyl (HCG) Injections
How it Works
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) mimics the action of luteinizing hormone (LH), which is crucial for testosterone production in the testes. By stimulating LH receptors, HCG increases testosterone levels, thereby aiding in the management of hypogonadism and enhancing sperm production. Additionally, when used in conjunction with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), HCG can help maintain natural testosterone production and reduce the side effects associated with TRT, such as testicular shrinkage.
Who is it for?
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injections are recommended for men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, such as reduced sex drive and energy levels, especially those with hypogonadism or undergoing testosterone replacement therapy.
Effectiveness
According to a study conducted in 2018, HCG is a safe and efficacious alternative or adjunct to TRT in men desiring to preserve fertility while treating their hypogonadism.

Good to know
It’s important to know that HCG is not just used for treating hormonal imbalances in men; it also plays a crucial role in fertility treatments by stimulating the testes to produce testosterone and sperm. This makes it particularly valuable for men undergoing testosterone replacement therapy who wish to maintain their fertility.
