Frequently Asked Questions about HCG

What is the difference between homeopathic Oral HCG and HCG injections?
Homeopathic HCG is produced by taking Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and duplicating the formula and suspending it into a sublingual mixture which is administered under the tongue and absorbed into the body. Our homeopathic HCG is an FDA cleared substance, does not require a prescription and is prepared per the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. HCG injections must be prescribed by a doctor and are administered by a shot into muscle tissue (usually given by the patient him or herself). The oral formula has been found to be as effective as the shots.

What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. It's popularity in the United States has grown 25-50 percent a year for the last decade. Homeopathy is extremely effective, all natural and completely safe. Homeopathy is the science of capturing a formula in secondary base. There are no dangerous side effects and homeopathic remedies can be taken alongside other medications.

How does HCG help me lose weight?
In pregnant women, HCG releases stored fat to ensure the growing fetus receives the nutrients it needs to grow and develop normally. When HCG is taken in non-pregnant women and men the body still releases the stored fat but because there is no fetus present, the body uses the stores for energy or eliminates the rest. This enables the body to release stored toxins and fat. Abnormal fat is lost, leaving normal, or structural fat and muscle tissue. Which means you lose in those stubborn areas--hips, thighs, buttocks and upper arms! Click here to get started.

Why does homeopathic HCG not have to be refrigerated ?

Why can I only eat 500 calories?
HCG causes your hypothalamus to mobilize the stored fat in your body. While you are consuming 500 calories, your hypothalamus is continually releasing stored fat which your body burns for fuel. You are actually running on 3500-4000 calories a day, which is the equivalent of 1-2 pounds!

Will I be hungry?
Hunger is common during the first few days. With any calorie restriction diet, hunger is natural. In most cases the smaller servings can be completely satisfying. This is partly due to your hypothalamus adjusting your metabolic rate, but largely due to the amount of calories circulating in your system from the fat being released.
