Common questions
What is HMG used for clinically?
Fertility treatment — it supplies FSH and LH activity to stimulate follicular development and gonadal function, under specialist supervision.
How does it differ from HCG?
HCG mimics LH only; HMG carries both FSH and LH activity. They occupy different steps in fertility protocols.
Why does it appear in peptide catalogues?
Channel overlap, not evidence logic. It is an established hospital-grade medicine that grey-market catalogues list alongside research compounds.
