HCG price by research size
| Research size | Typical range / vial |
|---|---|
| 5,000 IU vial | $45 - $85 |
| 10,000 IU vial | $65 - $130 |
Ranges are typical research-market figures per vial for third-party-tested, 99%+ purity material with a COA on request. They are not a quote; current pricing - including bulk and subscription discounts - is shown in the order portal.
What you are paying for with HCG
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a glycoprotein hormone that mimics luteinizing hormone. It has a well-established research profile and is studied for its downstream effects on gonadal hormone production. Because of that, the cost of HCG reflects more than raw material. HCG research focuses on LH-receptor activation, stimulating gonadal tissue in research models - the downstream counterpart to upstream GnRH and Kisspeptin signaling.
What drives HCG pricing
Three things move the price of HCG most. First, vial size: HCG is cataloged in 5,000 IU vial, 10,000 IU vial, and a larger vial holds more peptide, so it costs more per unit even at the same per-mg rate. Second, purity and testing: genuine third-party verification to a 99%+ target with a Certificate of Analysis is a real production cost, and it is what makes a research result trustworthy. Third, quantity: ordering HCG in bulk or on a recurring research schedule lowers the effective per-vial cost.
Cost per milligram
Comparing peptides on price alone is misleading because vial sizes differ. The fair comparison is cost per milligram of verified peptide. When you evaluate HCG, divide the vial price by its milligram content and compare like-for-like against other 99%+ third-party-tested material - not against unverified powder that happens to be cheaper.
Getting the best value on HCG
HCG can be ordered as a one-time purchase or on a recurring research schedule (every 2 weeks, monthly, every 2 months, or every 3 months), and bulk or standing-order pricing is available for research programs. The best value is not the lowest sticker price - it is the lowest cost per milligram of documented, third-party-tested HCG, which is the standard every Peptides Factory Direct lot is held to.
Frequently asked questions
How much does HCG cost?
HCG typically ranges from $45 to $130 per vial at research-market pricing, depending on vial size. All Peptides Factory Direct HCG is third-party tested to a 99%+ purity target with a COA on request. Research use only.
Why does HCG pricing vary between suppliers?
Differences come down to purity and documentation. Material with genuine third-party COAs, lot tracking, and identity confirmation costs more to produce than unverified powder. The fair comparison is cost per milligram of verified peptide, not sticker price.
Is cheaper HCG a good deal?
Not if it lacks a Certificate of Analysis. Across the research-supply market the strongest trust signal is verifiable third-party purity testing. Unverified HCG can cost far more in failed experiments than the few dollars it saves.
Can I get bulk pricing on HCG?
Yes. HCG is available for one-time or recurring research orders, and bulk or standing-order pricing is available for research programs - note it on your order or open the portal.
