Is HCG the same as human chorionic gonadotropin?

Yes. Human chorionic gonadotropin is the full name on this site's HCG profile. They name the same LH-receptor agonist, molecular weight about 36,700 daltons, FDA approved for fertility and certain hypogonadism, not for weight loss. The 29-man intratesticular-testosterone study and the 26-man semen-parameter study are the TRT-support record on that page. The 24-trial obesity meta-analysis and the FDA diet-product warning sit beside those fertility facts, not instead of them. The letters are an abbreviation, not a second drug and not a weight-loss approval. Full record at /compounds/hcg.
