Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) at a glance

Human menopausal gonadotropin, or menotropins, is a biological extract rather than a defined synthetic peptide. It is purified from the urine of postmenopausal women, whose pituitary output of gonadotropins is high, and it contains follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone activity. In highly purified versions, part of the LH-type activity comes from human chorionic gonadotropin. Both hormones are glycoproteins made of two subunits, so the material is far larger and more complex than typical catalogue peptides.

Lab testing

There is no public lab report for this listing yet. We can ask the brand for the batch COA before you order. Many buyers also split an independent HPLC test with others who bought the same batch.

Bought through escrow: the brand is only paid after you confirm delivery. If the parcel never arrives, or an independent test shows the wrong compound or a significant under-fill, open a claim before releasing payment.

What it is studied for

FSH and LH act through their own G-protein-coupled receptors on gonadal cells, mainly via cAMP and protein kinase A signaling. In the ovary, FSH receptors on granulosa cells drive follicle growth and aromatase expression, while LH receptors on theca cells support androgen production that granulosa cells convert to estrogen, the classic two-cell model of steroidogenesis. In the testis, FSH acts on Sertoli cells and LH on Leydig cells to support sperm production and testosterone synthesis. HMG is used to study how combined stimulation shapes these responses.

Research and regulatory status

Menotropins is one of the oldest gonadotropin preparations in reproductive medicine and is approved in many countries as a prescription product for ovulation induction in assisted reproduction, under specialist supervision. Its clinical pharmacology is extensively documented. Recombinant FSH and LH products have since been developed, and comparisons between urinary and recombinant sources remain a topic of study. Research-grade material is a separate laboratory reagent without that clinical approval.

Checking the lab data

Because HMG is measured by activity, the key result is potency in international units for both FSH and LH, ideally determined by bioassay against an international reference standard. Mass spectrometry is less informative for these glycoproteins; immunoassay or SDS-PAGE identity checks are more typical. Sterility, endotoxin and protein content are relevant for a urine-derived product. The freeze-dried cake should be white to off-white and fully intact.

Listing details

Compound: Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG)
Synonyms: Menotropins
Class: Gonadotropin preparation (FSH + LH activity)
Format: Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder
Vial strength: 75 IU
Vials per kit: 10
Sold by: HK Peptide
Ships from: Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Lab report: Not yet published

Storage and preparation

Freeze-dried peptide keeps best sealed, cold and dark. Once it has been dissolved, refrigerate it, avoid repeated warming and follow the stability limits in your study protocol.

Concentration arithmetic: one 75 IU vial dissolved in 2 mL gives 37.5 IU/mL, or 75 IU/mL in 1 mL. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard handles any other volume.

Buyer questions

Why does HMG come from urine?

After menopause, the ovaries no longer respond to pituitary signals, so the pituitary releases large amounts of FSH and LH, and these pass into urine. That made postmenopausal urine a practical source for extracting gonadotropins long before recombinant production existed, and the method remains in use today.

How does HMG differ from recombinant FSH?

Recombinant FSH is produced in engineered cell lines and contains FSH alone. HMG is extracted from a natural source and carries both FSH and LH-type activity, along with a mix of glycosylation variants. Researchers choose between them depending on whether they want to isolate FSH effects or study combined stimulation.

How much Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) is in this listing?

10 vials of 75 IU each. Where a lab report exists, the testing panel above shows what the brand's tested sample actually measured.

When does HK Peptide get paid?

Only after you confirm delivery. Until then the payment is held in escrow, and you can open a claim if anything is wrong with the order.
