HMG supplies what HCG leaves out
Human menopausal gonadotropin contains both FSH and LH activity. This section holds 7 lines from £34 to £260, averaging near £103.
Its relevance follows from a gap. HCG mimics LH, which drives testosterone production in the testes. It does nothing for FSH, which drives sperm production. A protocol built on HCG alone addresses half the signal.
The two hormones do different jobs
| Hormone | Acts on | Result |
|---|---|---|
| LH (mimicked by HCG) | Leydig cells | Testosterone production |
| FSH (supplied by HMG) | Sertoli cells | Sperm production |
Suppression from exogenous androgens shuts down both. Restoring one while ignoring the other explains why some people recover testosterone levels while fertility lags behind, which is a common and confusing outcome.
Where it is actually used
Clinically, HMG is a fertility medicine, used in assisted reproduction and in men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The physique application is an extension of that: restoring fertility after prolonged suppression, usually alongside HCG rather than instead of it.
It is expensive and injected, and it is not part of an ordinary post cycle therapy protocol. It becomes relevant when fertility specifically has not recovered.
Who it is not for
Anyone whose concern is testosterone recovery rather than fertility. For that, HCG and a SERM address the pathway more directly and far more cheaply. Adding HMG to a standard recovery protocol without a fertility reason is spending a lot for a signal that is not the limiting factor.
Fertility problems after long-term suppression are a clinical matter, and semen analysis rather than guesswork is what establishes whether there is a problem to treat.
Why it is expensive
HMG is derived from purified human urinary gonadotropins, a genuinely involved production process, and it is a licensed fertility medicine rather than an underground preparation. The £34 to £260 spread mostly reflects presentation size and units per vial.
As with the rest of the peptides range, comparing cost per unit rather than per vial is the only meaningful way to read that spread.
Handling
Supplied lyophilised, reconstituted before use, refrigerated afterwards. Verification matters at this price point — see how to check a brand is genuine.
Frequently asked questions
How does HMG differ from HCG?
HCG mimics LH and drives testosterone. HMG supplies FSH activity as well, which drives sperm production.
Why would someone need FSH?
Because suppression shuts down both signals, and testosterone can recover while fertility does not.
Is it part of normal PCT?
No. It is expensive and specific to fertility, not to restoring testosterone.
Is it used with HCG or instead?
Usually alongside, since the two cover different halves of the signal.
How do I know if I need it?
Semen analysis. Fertility after prolonged suppression is a clinical question, not one to guess at.
