Homeopathic HCG: What Is It and Does It Work?
Walk into any health food store, and you will likely find at least a few brands of homeopathic HCG on the shelves. Conduct an internet search for the HCG Diet, and you will also find websites offering HCG drops and pellets to help you lose weight.What are HCG homeopathic drops and pellets and do they really work the same way as HCG injections?Those are the questions we are here to answer today.Let us begin with a close examination of homeopathic HCG pellets and drops. In actual homeopathy, a laboratory starts with an actual medication, in this case, real HCG, and then puts it through a process called potentization where it undergoes rounds of diluting and shaking. The more the substance is diluted, the less of it is present in the finished product. Proponents of homeopathy claim that the finished product is stronger and more powerful than the original substance.When you look at a package of homeopathic HCG, drop or pellet, you will likely find active ingredients that include a variety of amino acids, as well as demineralized water, alcohol, or a mineral water base. Homeopathic mineral based HCG drops require refrigeration, alcohol-based ones do not.in December 2017, the FDA declared these products, as well as HCG sprays, illegal and advised consumers to steer clear of them.
Homeopathic HCG drops, pellets, and sprays are not the same thing as HCG injections.
Homeopathic HCG Drops vs. HCG Injections – What Is the Difference?
It is virtually impossible to compare homeopathic HCG to real HCG injections. Although many homeopathic HCG drops may have started out containing human chorionic gonadotropin, the finished product has so small an amount, if any, that it barely registers in testing.Non-homeopathic HCG is even worse as it never contained any HCG at all. It is merely a blend of different amino acids that may have a slight potential of stimulating weight loss, but that is not even what the HCG Diet is about.There are no such things as real HCG drops. Not homeopathic, as what was mentioned previously, but drops that actually contain a viable amount of HCG. That is not how human chorionic gonadotropin can enter the body. The only real method of HCG administration is via injection.
Homeopathic HCG does not contain the same properties as real HCG injections.
Can Homeopathic HCG Help You Lose Weight?
It is impossible to get homeopathic HCG diet results similar to what you get with the legitimate HCG Diet protocol. If you ask any medical professional, you will hear the same thing – the only way to effectively lose weight is to consume fewer calories than you expend. That means if you have a sedentary lifestyle and only burn 1200 calories per day, you need to eat fewer calories than that to burn stored fat.The HCG Diet consists of eating foods from a supplied list and totaling no more than 500 to 700 calories per day. You lose weight because your body is eating fewer calories.Why then do you need HCG injections, and why won’t HCG homeopathic products work as well?When you only consume 500 or 700 calories per day, your brain begins to fear that you are not getting enough nutrition. It starts to worry about starvation, so it holds on to any fat stores you have. However, since the body requires energy, it pulls it from structural fat stored in the muscles – called glycogen. That is why people who go on very low-calorie diets tend to lose muscle mass rather than stored fat.When you follow the real HCG Diet protocol, you begin using HCG for two days before you start to diet. During those two days, you gorge on foods with high-fat content. Then, on day three, when you lower your caloric intake, the HCG reminds the hypothalamus that there is plenty of fat floating around in the bloodstream and throughout the body to use.The reason you do not see this type of homeopathic HCG results is that the drops cannot make it into the bloodstream and reach the hypothalamus to deliver the same signal. Although people will lose weight with HCG drops, it will most likely be structural rather than visceral fat.
Because the homeopathic HCG products also have you cut calories, you will lose weight – but it will likely be structural fat rather than visceral fat.
How to Decide between Homeopathic HCG and HCG Injections
Whether you are looking to use homeopathic or non-homeopathic HCG drops, you will find yourself fighting the same battle of hunger, headaches, and cravings. With HCG injections, the signals to the hypothalamus help to reduce the risk of hunger and headaches. HCG works directly on the hypothalamus to regulate fat burning and hormone production in the body.By using real HCG, not homeopathic products, you can trick the body into thinking it has taken in more food than what you have consumed. That way, there is no risk of starvation, and the brain allows the body to access the stored fat. With each pound of fat you lose, your body receives 2000 calories to use for energy.One of the problems we find with people who first attempt the HCG Diet with homeopathic products is that they tend to cheat more and gain back the weight they lost, and then some. Those who use HCG injections and follow the entire protocol are more likely to maintain their lower weight.Here at Weight Loss Medical Center, we go the extra mile by also providing our clients with vitamin B12 and MIC/LIPO injections that increase fat metabolism for faster weight loss. B12 provides increased energy and an extra boost to the immune system.If you are serious about losing weight and do not want to risk gaining it all back with the homeopathic HCG diet protocol, then contact Weight Loss Medical Center for a free, no obligation consultation to learn more about the real HCG Diet.
