Description
Human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) is a medication used to treat fertility disturbances in both men and women. It is a mixture of two gonadotropins: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
Mechanism of action
When injected, hMG is absorbed into the body through the muscle tissue. It stimulates testosterone production and has gained popularity in anti-aging clinics and biotechnology companies.
HMG differs from HCG in its binding properties. While HCG primarily binds to LH receptors, HMG naturally binds to both LH and FSH receptors. HMG promotes sperm maturation and differentiation, in addition to increasing testicular size, libido, and mood. It is important for maintaining testicular activity and preventing atrophy.
HMG is primarily excreted via the kidneys, and its pharmacokinetics in patients with renal or hepatic impairment have not been extensively studied.
Purpose of use
HMG was initially developed to treat female infertility but is also used in hormone replacement therapy for men. In bodybuilding, HMG is commonly used in post-cycle therapy (PCT) to support testicular activity and fertility. Combining HCG and HMG has shown superior recovery after steroid cycles.
How to use
Treatment with HMG should be initiated under the supervision of a physician experienced in fertility treatments. Dosage and duration of treatment will vary depending on individual response. HMG can be used alone or in combination with a GnRH agonist or antagonist, depending on the treatment protocol.
For preserving testicular activity during steroid cycles longer than 10 weeks, it is recommended to start using HMG from the first week to prevent atrophy. The typical protocol involves HMG injections at a dose of 75-150 IU 2-3 times per week, along with HCG injections at a dose of 250-500 IU 2-3 times per week. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism may require a dosage of 5-10 IU per day for several months.
Athletes seeking performance enhancement may take up to 10 IU per day, with an additional 5 IU dose 30 minutes before workouts on training days.
In cases of severe anabolic steroid-induced azoospermia, a protocol of twice-weekly injections of 10,000 IU of HCG and daily injections of 75 IU of HMG for 3 months has been used. Care should be taken to avoid overstimulation of Leydig cells.
How to prepare a solution
To prepare the injection solution, draw a diluent into a syringe and inject it into the vial containing the lyophilized powder. Tilt the vial so that the needle touches the vial wall, allowing the diluent to flow down gradually. Gently mix the solution without agitating or shaking the vial until the ly ophilized powder is completely dissolved, resulting in a clear liquid. Avoid mixing different peptides in the same syringe.

- The injection can be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, based on personal preference.
