Most people have not heard of the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone, but if you have heard of HCG, then you probably know that it is linked to fertility and weight loss uses. HCG is actually already present in all human brains, but in small quantities. The hormone is produced massively by females during pregnancy, and studies on HCG have all credited it as being helpful to women who want to conceive a baby. HCG injections are common fertility treatments, although they do commonly give side effects like nausea, headaches, mood swings, and breast growth, simply because HCG is related to all pregnancy symptoms.
Nowadays, HCG injections are also being taken by some people to help them lose weight. The weight loss method is known as the HCG Diet, and it has recently grown more popular due to the more recent development of taking HCG in oral drop form, which certainly appeals to more people than getting regular injections. The HCG Diet was created by a British endocrinologist know as Dr. ATW Simeons, but since its release and until today the diet is still criticized and treated contemptuously by most of the medical and scientific field.
Most producers of HCG injections and oral drops for weight loss can claim that their products don’t give HCG Diet side effects, despite the fact that the hormone can really cause reactions in the human body. Even the side effect of breast enlargement is known to happen among men who are taking HCG. It could be that most HCG producers actually feature very little HCG in their products, such as the homeopathic varieties, or they don’t contain any real HCG at all.
The United States Food and Drug Administration has approved hospitals and clinics in administering HCG injections to help women treat fertility issues, but not a single HCG Diet product has been inspected or approved by the US FDA. However, you can easily buy these products at some health shops and through online sites, where virtually every HCG Diet website is selling their own items. Even if your doctor has approved of HCG for fertility or weight loss, the hormone is still not a nutrient that can give you health benefits the way a vitamin B12 injection can. Consult your doctor first before trying any HCG product, and try to stay away from homeopathic HCG items and those that offer no health and insurance guarantees of any kind.
