HCG and GMO

This question should probably be directed towards Dr Saya, Dr Crisler, and Neslon. I've read that HCG can be made from either extracting it from pregnant women's urine or via genetic modification. With all of the bad things we all read about gmo's, does anyone worry about injecting a gmo substance into your body on a regular basis? Is the HCG that Defy uses made through gmo techniques? I'd love to hear back from the experts on this subject. I don't think many are even considering the fact that they maybe injecting a gmo substance straight into their body on the reg.
 
For HCG the recombinant variant may actually be preferred. Purity will always be higher and with human-derived there is, in theory, some risk of prion contamination which is completely absent in recombinant.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
