Frequently asked

How long does HCG stay in your system?

With a half-life of ≈ 33 h, roughly 97% of a single HCG dose is cleared after five half-lives — about 6.9 days. Repeated dosing accumulates and takes correspondingly longer to clear.

What does a ≈ 33 h half-life mean in practice?

Every 33 h, the remaining amount halves: 100% → 50% → 25% → 12.5%, and so on. The curve above plots exactly this decay for a single dose.

Where does this HCG half-life number come from?

hCG pharmacokinetic literature (see monograph). We cite a primary source for every half-life we publish and version every change.
