HCG
Supports natural testicular function and fertility — often paired with TRT.
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) mimics LH, the hormone that signals the testes to produce testosterone and sperm. It’s used to preserve testicular function and fertility, frequently alongside TRT.
Prescription required. Final clinical decisions rest with the prescribing physician.
What is HCG?
HCG acts like luteinizing hormone (LH), signaling the testes to keep producing testosterone and sperm. On TRT — which suppresses the body’s own signal — HCG helps maintain testicular size and fertility. It’s also used to help restart natural production.
HCG is prescribed and dosed by a physician, often as part of a TRT protocol. It’s accessed through licensed pharmacies under prescription.

HCG FAQ
What is HCG used for?
HCG preserves testicular function and fertility, often alongside TRT, and can help restart natural testosterone production.
Why take HCG with TRT?
TRT suppresses the body’s own signal to the testes; HCG replaces that signal to maintain fertility and testicular size.
How is it taken?
A subcutaneous injection a few times per week; the physician sets your dose.
Is it just for fertility?
It’s primarily about testicular function/fertility, but it’s part of broader hormone protocols — the physician will explain its role for you.
How much does it cost?
HCG starts from $129/month. Final pricing is confirmed after your evaluation. The initial evaluation is free.
Ready to start HCG?
Complete a short medical intake — a supervising physician reviews it and, if appropriate, writes your prescription, and a licensed pharmacy ships to your door.
Pricing & regulatory note: The $129/mo price is an indicative starting point confirmed by the compounding pharmacy after physician evaluation. HCG is not an FDA-approved finished drug product; it is prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies and prescribed off-label. FDA guidance on peptide compounding continues to evolve and availability can change. A prescription is required.
