Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin).
