X10 VIALS EACH VIAL CONTAINS 5000IU

Human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone produced by the placenta shortly after conception that supports early pregnancy and is detected by pregnancy tests. 

What is hCG?

• Pregnancy hormone: Made by cells in the developing placenta after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus.

• Primary role: Signals the body to keep producing progesterone, which maintains the lining of the uterus during the first trimester.

How Testing Works

• Urine tests: Used in home pregnancy kits to detect qualitative presence of hCG.

• Blood tests: Quantitative tests measure the exact amount of beta-hCG in the bloodstream to track pregnancy health or check for complications.

• Levels over time: In a healthy early pregnancy, levels typically double every 48 to 72 hours and peak around weeks 8 to 11. 

Other Uses

• Fertility treatments: Used in assisted reproduction, such as IVF, to trigger ovulation
