A ten-residue synthetic peptide against a two-chain glycoprotein, and almost nothing about handling them is the same. Gonadorelin is the native GnRH decapeptide, pyroglutamate at the N-terminus and an amide at the C-terminus, mass 1,182.3, made by solid-phase synthesis and released on HPLC purity like any other peptide here. HCG is a heterodimer of a 92-residue alpha subunit and a 145-residue beta subunit, heavily glycosylated, so it has no single exact mass, it is assayed in international units rather than milligrams, and its certificate reads on bioassay and purity by size exclusion rather than on a chromatogram area alone. That is also why the two are priced on different units on this list.

Questions
Which is cheaper per mg, Gonadorelin Acetate or HCG?
HCG, at $0.00081 per IU for its best-priced strength (G10K) against $0.893 per mg for Gonadorelin Acetate (GND5), 100 percent less. Compare at the vial size you will actually use; the gap changes with strength.
Which comes in more strengths?
Gonadorelin Acetate, with 3 against 2. Every strength is a separate line with its own code, price and stock state.
Can Gonadorelin Acetate and HCG go in one order?
Yes. Any lines can share an order; the minimum is $300 of goods per order, or $100 on a first order, and one sealed box of ten per line. Lines on the shelf ship in 1 to 2 business days; made-to-order lines follow in about two weeks, at no extra freight.
Are they tested to the same specification?
Yes: purity not less than 98.0 percent by RP-HPLC, identity by mass, water content, net content within 5 percent of label, and a retest date, with a certificate of analysis per batch. What differs is what each certificate has to look for, which is set by the molecule and described on each compound’s own page.
