product descroption: 

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone found in the female body during the early months of pregnancy (it is produced in the placenta). As a prescription drug, HCG offers us some interesting benefits. HCG is FDA approved for the treatment of undescended testicles in young boys, hypogonadism (underproduction of testosterone) and as a fertility drug used to aid in inducing ovulation in women. When prepared as a medical item, this hormone comes from a human origin. Although there is often a fear of biological origin products, there is little research to be found regarding pathogen or sterility problems with HCG. The problems seen with human origin growth hormone are certainly not to be repeated with HCG, as this compound is obtained in a much different way. While HCG offers the female no performance enhancing ability, it does prove very useful to the male steroid user.

In high doses HCG is a popular adjunct in fertility treatment.In the pregnant female, HCG is naturally produced in great amounts - we're talking up to 300,000 IU at any given time several weeks into a pregnancy. The hormone causes cells in the uterine lining to produce progesterone until the placenta grows and produces progesterone on it's own. It is progesterone which supports a healthy pregnancy, but levels of HCG are important as it is tied in with the body's ability to support pregnancy from conception to full term.

Application

Human Chorionic Gonadotropins interacts with the LHCG receptor of the ovary and promotes the maintenance of the corpus luteum during the beginning of pregnancy. This allows the corpus luteum to secrete the hormone progesterone during the first trimester. Progesterone enriches the uterus with a thick lining of blood vessels and capillaries so that it can sustain the growing fetus. Due to its highly negative charge, hCG may repel the immune cells of the mother, protecting the fetus during the first trimester. It has also been hypothesized that hCG may be a placental link for the development of local maternal immunotolerance. For example, hCG-treated endometrial cells induce an increase in T cell apoptosis (dissolution of T cells). These results suggest that hCG may be a link in the development of peritrophoblastic immune tolerance, and may facilitate the trophoblast invasion, which is known to expedite fetal development in the endometrium.It has also been suggested that hCG levels are linked to the severity of morning sickness or Hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnant women.

Because of its similarity to LH, hCG can also be used clinically to induce ovulation in the ovaries as well as testosterones production in the testes. As the most abundant biological source is women who are presently pregnant, some organizations collect urine from pregnant women to extract hCG for use in fertility treatmentHuman Chorionic Gonadotropins also plays a role in cellular differentiation/proliferation and may activate apoptosis.
