HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is Certified Aminos' research listing for a glycoprotein hormone that activates the LH/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) -- the same receptor luteinizing hormone (LH) binds. Available in 5,000 IU and 10,000 IU for laboratory research use only.
HPLC certified
Independent analysis
Highest standard
Full traceability
Each order ships as an HCG research compound, available in 5,000 IU or 10,000 IU, manufactured for laboratory use only.
| Compound | Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) |
|---|---|
| Structure | Heterodimer of a shared alpha subunit (identical to LH, FSH, TSH) and a unique beta subunit; both heavily glycosylated -- independently confirmed via peer-reviewed review |
| Molecular Weight | ~36-37 kDa base form; more heavily glycosylated variants run higher |
| Potency Measurement | International Units (IU), not milligrams -- standard for this hormone class |
| Available Sizes | 5,000 IU, 10,000 IU |
| Purity | Not independently verified -- no batch-specific COA is currently published |
| Identity | Not independently confirmed by mass spectrometry or an equivalent method |
| Intended Use | Laboratory research only (RUO) |
When your order arrives, match the lot number printed on the vial to the lot number on the COA before beginning any work. Until a batch-specific COA is published for this product, treat any purity or identity figure shown elsewhere on this listing as a supplier claim, not an independently verified result.
HCG and LH bind the exact same receptor — yet research shows they send measurably different signals once they do. Here's what's actually established about HCG's structure, mechanism, and the FDA's position on HCG weight-loss claims.
No peer-reviewed human study of IGF-1 LR3 exists — a 2026 literature review placed it in its lowest evidence tier. Here's what the cell and animal research actually shows, and where it stops.
BPC-157 sits in a different WADA category than TB-500 or ipamorelin — and that difference actually matters if you're trying to understand the rules. Here's the 2026 list, compound by compound, with the official source for each.
