Gonadorelin
Also known as GnRH, LHRH, gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
What it is
Gonadorelin is synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone: the natural ten-amino-acid signal from the hypothalamus that tells the pituitary to release LH and FSH. It has approved diagnostic and therapeutic uses, and is increasingly used off-label in testosterone replacement protocols as an alternative to hCG.
