HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin)

HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin) — Research Use Only

HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin), also known as menotropins, is a naturally derived gonadotropic hormone complex referenced in scientific literature for experimental and analytical research involving endocrine signaling, gonadotropin receptor activity, and reproductive hormone interaction models. HMG consists primarily of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) glycoproteins and is supplied exclusively for laboratory research applications, including in vitro experimentation and analytical investigation.

Manufactured to high purity standards, HMG is intended strictly for non-clinical research use by qualified personnel.
