A hormone that is FDA-approved for specific medical indications and used in physician-supervised hormonal care. In regenerative, metabolic, and longevity medicine, HCG is one of the most talked-about compounds. Below, our physicians summarize the benefits research has explored and what the studies suggest — so you can make an informed decision with an educated physician's opinion.
How It Interacts with the Body — in Plain Words
