What Is Alpha-GPC Alpha-glyceryl phosphorylcholine Alpha-glyceryl phosphorylcholine (αG ..read more

Gonadorelin, also known as Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), is a synthetic hormone similar to HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). Gonadorelin stimulates the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) as well as luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland. Commonly used by those who have been on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), or those that use (PEDs) performance enhancing drugs and designer steroids, gonadorelin essentially “tricks” your body into producing more testosterone, helping support fertility, testicular size, and producing anabolic and androgenic effects.
