HCG – Miracle, or Just Overated?
03.16.10
Have you heard of HCG? If you have looked into weight loss at all in the last 6 mo, we bet you have. The HCG diet has certainly made a name for itself. We hope for good reason. The assembly lines are rolling out product after product to meet the demands of hopeful HCGers. Some of the most common HCG weight loss products include HCG injections available at some spas and possibly even your family doctor, and HCG drops.
HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotrophin. It is a substance produced during pregnancy and in composition is hormonal. The effects of the substance can be very strong. Because widespread use has only been common in the last few years, lasting effects have not been determined. Immediate effects have been very promising, and some are already declaring it the “golden cure” to obesity. The FDA has done minor evaluation of the compound in terms of using it for weight loss, but many are crying out for a more in-depth review.
We are interested in seeing the progression of the HCG diet and hope for the best. If you would like information on human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) or advice on products containing it, we advise you to consult with your physician so that you can make an informed decision.
