hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Pharmacokinetics
hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) half-life, absorption, routes of administration, and clearance.
Long Half-Life Supporting Infrequent Dosing
hCG has a plasma half-life of roughly 24-36 hours, notably longer than most peptide hormones in this catalog — which is why it's dosed just 2-3 times weekly rather than daily.
