West Peptides supplies high-purity HCG in lyophilized form for controlled laboratory investigation and analytical research applications.
HCG is naturally produced during pregnancy and is involved in signaling processes related to reproductive hormone regulation. In research settings, it is commonly used to study how gonadotropin hormones interact with luteinizing hormone receptors and influence downstream signaling pathways.
Because of its structural similarity to LH, HCG is frequently used in experimental models examining:
In controlled research environments, HCG binds to luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors, which has been associated with:
These mechanisms are explored in laboratory settings to better understand hormonal regulation and receptor-mediated signaling.
HCG is widely studied in experimental models focused on:
Its well-characterized structure and receptor activity make it a commonly used reference compound in endocrine research.

What is HCG?
HCG is a glycoprotein hormone composed of alpha and beta subunits, studied in research for its interaction with gonadotropin receptors and endocrine signaling pathways.
Why is HCG used in research?
Researchers use HCG to investigate hormonal signaling, receptor activation, and endocrine system regulation in controlled experimental models.
How does HCG interact with receptors?
HCG binds to luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors, activating signaling pathways associated with hormone production and endocrine responses.
What type of studies involve HCG?
HCG is commonly used in studies focused on reproductive signaling, hormone regulation, and steroidogenesis pathways.
Is HCG intended for therapeutic use?
No. This product is supplied strictly for laboratory research and investigational purposes.
This product is intended strictly for laboratory research and scientific investigation purposes only.
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration or any other regulatory authority for human or veterinary use outside controlled research settings. It is not intended for use as a drug, dietary supplement, cosmetic, or food product.
All products offered by West Peptides are sold for research use only and must be handled by qualified professionals in controlled laboratory environments.

Our products are produced using a freeze-drying process (lyophilization), which helps maintain their integrity and stability during transit, typically for up to 3–4 months.
After the peptides are reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water), they should be kept refrigerated to preserve their quality. Once in liquid form, they generally remain stable for up to 30 days when stored properly.
Lyophilization—also referred to as cryodesiccation—is a dehydration method where the material is first frozen and then exposed to low pressure. This allows moisture to transition directly from solid to vapor, leaving behind a dry, stable compound in the form of a light, crystalline powder. In this state, the product can be kept at room temperature until it is ready to be reconstituted.
Upon receiving your peptides, it is recommended to protect them from heat and light exposure. For short-term use (ranging from a few days to several weeks), refrigeration below 4°C (39°F) is suitable. Lyophilized products can also tolerate room temperature storage for a limited period if they will be used relatively soon.
For extended storage—spanning several months or longer—freezing is advised. Ideally, peptides should be kept at approximately -80°C (-112°F) to best maintain long-term stability
