HCG is a glycoprotein hormone naturally produced by the placenta during pregnancy that binds LH receptors to stimulate testosterone and estrogen biosynthesis. FDA-approved for cryptorchidism, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and ovulation induction.

Kisspeptin acts as a master regulator of the reproductive system, stimulating GnRH neurons essential for puberty, fertility, and reproductive function.

Gonadorelin is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). It stimulates the pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn regulate testosterone production in men and ovulation in women. It is FDA-approved for diagnostic testing and fertility treatment. The pulsatile nature of GnRH secretion is critical for proper reproductive function.

Nine-amino-acid peptide hormone produced in hypothalamus, released by posterior pituitary. Functions in social bonding, trust, empathy, reproduction, childbirth, lactation. FDA-approved synthetically for labor induction and postpartum hemorrhage.

Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) is a hormonally active medication containing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in a 1:1 ratio, extracted from the urine of postmenopausal women. FDA-approved for fertility treatment, HMG stimulates ovarian follicle development in women and spermatogenesis in men. While largely replaced by recombinant gonadotropins in some settings, HMG remains an effective and cost-efficient option for ovulation induction and assisted reproduction.
