HCG: What It Is, How It Works & What the Research Shows

Overview

Glycoprotein hormone mimicking LH to stimulate endogenous testosterone production and testicular function.

How it works

Glycoprotein hormone mimicking LH to stimulate endogenous testosterone production and testicular function.

Adamantane & the blood–brain barrier

Chemically attaching an adamantane group to a peptide can increase its lipid (fat) solubility. Researchers hypothesize that this modification may help certain compounds cross the tightly regulated blood–brain barrier. The effect depends on the specific modified molecule; greater lipid solubility alone does not establish brain delivery or clinical benefit. This does not apply automatically to the unmodified peptide and is not a reconstitution additive.

What the research shows

  • Testosterone support
  • Testicular volume maintenance
  • Fertility support

Typical protocol

Community-reported range (unverified): 250–500 IU 2–3×/week SC
