Secreting Gland:
Anterior Pituitary Gland

Overview

Luteinising Hormone (LH) is a key reproductive hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It plays an essential role in regulating the reproductive system in both women and men. In women, LH triggers ovulation and supports the formation and function of the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone following ovulation. In men, LH stimulates the Leydig cells of the testes to produce testosterone, supporting fertility, libido, and reproductive health.

Within GUNA's Low Dose Medicine philosophy, LH D6 is traditionally used to support the physiological regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Rather than replacing endogenous hormone production, it is intended to support the body's natural endocrine regulation and reproductive balance.

Primary Physiological Actions

LH plays an important role in:

• Triggering ovulation during the menstrual cycle.
• Supporting corpus luteum formation and progesterone production.
• Regulating normal ovarian function.
• Stimulating testosterone production in males.
• Supporting fertility and reproductive function.
• Regulating communication within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
• Supporting endocrine balance during reproductive ageing.
• Maintaining normal reproductive hormone signalling.

Traditional Indications

Within biological and bioregulatory medicine, LH D6 is traditionally considered where support of reproductive hormone regulation is desired, including:

• Female hormonal imbalance.
• Ovulatory dysfunction.
• Irregular menstrual cycles.
• Luteal phase insufficiency.
• Fertility support.
• Perimenopausal hormonal changes.
• Menopausal endocrine support.
• Male hormonal support.
• Reduced testosterone associated with endocrine imbalance.
• General pituitary and reproductive regulation.

Commonly Used by Practitioners For

• Ovulation support.
• Female fertility programmes.
• Menstrual cycle regulation.
• Luteal phase support.
• Perimenopause.
• Menopause.
• Male reproductive health.
• Testosterone support.
• Endocrine regulation protocols.
• Neuroendocrine balance.

Common Complementary Remedies

Depending on the clinical presentation, LH D6 is commonly combined with:

• FSH D6 – follicular development and ovarian regulation.
• Progesterone D6 – luteal phase and hormonal balance.
• Ovarium suis – ovarian support.
• Hypophysis suis – pituitary regulation.
• Hypothalamus suis – neuroendocrine regulation.
• Prolactin D6 – pituitary and reproductive hormone support.
• Thyreoidea suis – broader endocrine support where indicated.
• Coenzyme Compositum – cellular metabolism and endocrine support.
• Ubichinon Compositum – mitochondrial and cellular energy production.

Dosage

15–20 drops twice daily.
