Sexual Health
HCG is a glycoprotein hormone naturally produced by the placenta during pregnancy that binds LH receptors to stimulate testosterone and estrogen biosynthesis. FDA-approved for cryptorchidism, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and ovulation induction.
Full monograph→Kisspeptin acts as a master regulator of the reproductive system, stimulating GnRH neurons essential for puberty, fertility, and reproductive function.
Full monograph→Gonadorelin is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). It stimulates the pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn regulate testosterone production in men and ovulation in women. It is FDA-approved for diagnostic testing and fertility treatment. The pulsatile nature of GnRH secretion is critical for proper reproductive function.
Partial→Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that activates melanocortin receptors throughout the body. MC1R activation triggers melanin production for tanning, while MC4R affects sexual arousal and appetite control.
Partial→Prostamax is a Khavinson bioregulator tetrapeptide (KEDP) with primary repair effects on prostate tissue. Developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, it alters chromatin structure in cells from elderly individuals, promoting deheterochromatinization and potentially reactivating genes repressed during aging. Research in rat models shows reduced prostate inflammation, decreased swelling, and decelerated pathological remodeling associated with prostatitis.
Partial→FDA-approved melanocortin receptor agonist for treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women. Works centrally in the nervous system to trigger sexual arousal pathways independent of vascular mechanisms, unlike traditional ED medications.
Partial→Testagen is a Khavinson bioregulator tetrapeptide (KEDG) originally isolated from testicular tissue extracts. Developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, it promotes testosterone biosynthesis by stimulating Leydig cell activity and improving cellular metabolism in testicular tissue. Research shows it helps restore normal communication within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, governing testosterone production and spermatogenesis.
Partial→Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) is a hormonally active medication containing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in a 1:1 ratio, extracted from the urine of postmenopausal women. FDA-approved for fertility treatment, HMG stimulates ovarian follicle development in women and spermatogenesis in men. While largely replaced by recombinant gonadotropins in some settings, HMG remains an effective and cost-efficient option for ovulation induction and assisted reproduction.
