HCG (5000 IU Vial)
Human chorionic gonadotropin is a glycoprotein hormone of two subunits, and it acts on the LH receptor rather than a receptor of its own. Its unusually long circulating half-life comes from the heavily glycosylated beta subunit.

About HCG (5000 IU Vial)
It is dosed in international units rather than milligrams, because the activity of a glycoprotein preparation is defined by bioassay rather than by mass — a point worth carrying into any methods section. This listing is the 5000 IU vial.
Like everything in the Secretagogues range, this vial is lyophilized, sealed, and accompanied by third-party purity documentation for its batch.

Handling, reconstitution and storage
Store the sealed vial of lyophilized HCG at -20°C, protected from light. Allow it to reach room temperature before opening so that moisture does not condense onto the powder.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed down the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the cake, and swirl instead of shaking — mechanical agitation is the most common cause of degradation in peptide handling. Keep reconstituted solution at 2-8°C and validate its working life for your own assay conditions.
Frequently asked questions
- How is HCG (5000 IU Vial) supplied and stored?
- It ships as a lyophilized powder in a sealed vial. Store the lyophilized product at -20°C protected from light; once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2-8°C and use it within the window your protocol validates.
- Is a certificate of analysis available?
- Yes. Every batch is independently tested by a US laboratory and verified to exceed 99% purity by HPLC/MS. Request the COA for your batch number and we will send the report.
- How long does delivery take?
- Orders dispatch within two business days and ship within the United States. Delivery cost is confirmed with your quote.
- Can HCG (5000 IU Vial) be used in humans or animals?
- No. This product is sold strictly for research, laboratory and analytical purposes. Human and animal consumption is prohibited.
