FSH
Pituitary hormone for follicle and sperm support
FSH is follicle-stimulating hormone, a hormone released by the pituitary gland. In women it supports the growth and development of ovarian follicles. In men it supports sperm production in the testes. FSH is often measured together with LH when assessing pituitary and gonadal function.

- PerformanceKisspeptin-10Hypothalamic peptide that triggers natural LH surge, a clean alternative to hCG/clomid stim.
- PerformanceGonadorelinSynthetic decapeptide identical to endogenous GnRH that stimulates the pituitary to release LH and FSH; used diagnostically and, off-label, to support the gonadal axis during testosterone therapy.
