HCG 2000iu

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (abbreviated as HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the trophoblast cells of the placenta.HCG is composed of two subunits, α and β. The α subunit has a similar structure to the α subunits of thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, while the β subunit is unique to HCG, which endows HCG with a high degree of specificity. After a woman becomes pregnant and the fertilized egg implants, the trophoblast cells begin to secrete HCG. As the gestational week increases, the HCG level rises rapidly. In the early stages of pregnancy, by detecting the HCG level in the blood or urine, it is possible to determine whether a woman is pregnant and the general situation of the pregnancy. In addition, HCG also plays an important role in maintaining pregnancy and promoting the development of the corpus luteum.
