I read on a website that 'commercial hcg is made from the purified urine of pregnant women'. My question is, if pregnant women can obviously sell their urine to science, where do I sign up? Anybody know?

One of you mentioned that you think they use 'bovine' or 'equine' gonadotropin, but these would've been listed as 'bcg' or 'ecg'. The website I visited specifically said 'commercial H (as in human) CG is made from the purified urine of pregnant WOMEN.'

I don't think it is extracted from humans. It is from bovine (cows) or horse sources. I know that Premarin estrogen is PREgnant MARes urIN. They have no need to get it from humans when the hormone is the same in other mammals.

I have never heard of it but am interseted in the idea. I bet they would use it for testing pregnancy tests and stuff.
