hCG and Rheumatoid Arthritis: What the Research Shows

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that is produced during pregnancy. It is not typically used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). While some studies have suggested that hCG may have immunomodulatory effects that could potentially benefit people with RA, the evidence is limited and inconclusive. There is no high-quality scientific evidence to support the use of hCG for the treatment of RA. RA is a complex disease that is typically treated with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes. If you are interested in trying an alternative or complementary therapy for RA, it is important to talk to your doctor first.
