If you’re on a testosterone replacement program, chances are you’ve used HCG. HCG is known as Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, and it has helped patients maintain fertility, help improve libido, helps prevent testicular atrophy (shrinkage) and helps improve cognitive function, all while telling your body to produce more testosterone – basically the way nature intended. Unfortunately, over the last several years, HCG has been increasingly hard to get for patients, which has now turned into impossible. Within the last few weeks, the FDA has forced all manufacturers to stop making and selling HCG commercially. So, what does this mean for patients who are on either an HCG program or TRT program? Luckily, there are alternatives that are actually better performing than HCG.

So what is gonadorelin?

Fortunately for those on a program, there is an equally good (if not superior) alternative to HCG called Gonadorelin. Gonadorelin is a medicine that mimics the action of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is realized from the hypothalamus gland. This hormone is released and stimulates the testes to produce testosterone and sperm. Gonadorelin does all the same things HCG did, such as helping to increase Luteinizing Hormone (LH) levels, libido, prevent testicular atrophy and much more.
