Overview
Endogenous neuropeptide that acts as the master regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Stimulates LH and FSH release, boosting natural testosterone and supporting fertility.
Treatments studied
Treatment categories
Fertility support
Activates the hormonal cascade that governs egg and sperm production.
Hormonal imbalance
Acts as the master upstream regulator of the reproductive hormone axis.
Hypogonadism
Stimulates the body's own LH and FSH release, addressing low sex hormone production at its source.
Low testosterone
Triggers natural testosterone production through LH stimulation, rather than replacing it directly.
Reproductive health
Directly activates GnRH neurons, the starting point of the entire reproductive hormone cascade.
