hCG Diet Frequently Asked Questions
What is hCG?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, hCG for short. hCG is a
protein hormone present in both men and women, but mostly
produced in great amounts in the female placenta during
a normal pregnancy.
How does hCG work or
help with weight loss?
During pregnancy it triggers the hypothalamus which
mobilizes the mother’s stored fat. This is essential
because it helps insure that the mother and the fetus
get the energy they needs in order to be healthy.
In non-pregnant
persons, research suggests hCG similarly increases the
metabolism similar to a pregnant female. Thousands
of calories in stored fat are released, and are used by
the body or expelled.
Dr. A.T.W. Simeons' research suggests a
small, daily injection amount of hCG (approx. 125 IU to
200 IU), results in an average weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs
a day when accompanied by a VLCD (very
low calorie diet).
hCG is a popular medicine that is regularly
prescribed to female patients as part of a regimen that
is supposed to induce. hCG is a medicine that is
regularly prescribed to male patients because of its
ability to induce.
Is the use of hCG injections
legal for use?
Diet clinics are
using real (non-homeopathic type) hCG legally to treat
people for weight loss. Your medical doctor may prefer
not to use hCG for weight loss due to the FDA's lack of
recommendation; however he is legally able to write you
a prescription for hCG. It is advised that you check
your countries laws to be certain. If importing hCG from abroad, be sure
to check your local laws and follow whatever
restrictions are called for.
Is it legal to
order hCG from overseas pharmacies?
While it is
recommended to check for amendments to the importation
guidelines, as of January 2007, it is still legal to
import hCG for personal use. An individual supply of no
more than 3 months is generally acceptable for meeting
the "personal use" standard. Resale of imported
pharmaceuticals is a federal offense
What does the
FDA say about the HCG Diet?
The use of low
dose of hCG with the low calorie diet has never been
submitted to the FDA for approval. Therefore the FDA
does not sanction the use of hCG for weight loss. The
proof that the hCG diet does work comes from people
around the world who are living testimonies.
Are hCG injections painful, and do
they cause bruising?
No, this is a
lie that comes from the people who sell homeopathic hCG.
Subcutaneous injections in the tummy area with high
quality good lubricated syringes (the type we sell) does
not sting or cause bruises. Do not inject the same exact
spot every time you inject because that will cause bruising
because you are poking the same area over and over.
Intramuscular injections do transfer medicines better to
the body but are not required for the hCG diet.
Can men do this hCG Diet | are there side effects?
Using HCG for dieting does not mimic pregnancy; it
can be safely used by both men and women. Small amounts
of hCG are found naturally in male tissue. Men tend to
lose more weight then women when on the protocol.
It cannot be sufficiently emphasized that HCG is not
sex-hormone, that its action is identical in men, women,
children and in those cases in which the sex-glands no
longer function owing to old age or their surgical
removal. The only sexual change it can bring about after
puberty is an improvement of a pre-existing deficiency.
But never stimulation beyond the normal. In an
indirect ay via the anterior pituitary, hCG regulates
menstruation and facilitates conception, but it never
virilizes a woman or feminizes a man. It neither makes
men grow breasts nor does it interfere with their
virility, though where this was deficient it may improve
it. It never makes women grow a beard or develop a gruff
voice. I have stressed this point only for the sake of
my lay readers, because, it is our daily experience that
when people hear the word hormone they immediately jump
to the conclusion that this must have something to do
with the sex. Men can do the Diet without side effects.
Should I take
vitamins while doing this diet?
When fat is metabolized there are vitamins, proteins,
and minerals contained in the fat tissue which are given
back to your body. The one Vitamin that we strongly
advice you to use is sublingual vitamin B-12. The
effects of the sublingual B-12 are surprisingly similar
and as strong as taking B-12 shots. We strongly
recommend you use sublingual B-12 because it increases
your metabolism which helps you lose more weight and it
give you the extra energy you need while on the low
calorie diet. We sell the natures bounty Sublingual B-12

Is the HCG diet Safe?
HCG is a natural hormone and is safe for men and
women. HCG is currently being used in weight loss
clinics because it does works and because the clinics
feel its safe. hCG is also prescribed to help fertility
issues in men and women, fertility dosages are as high
as 6000IU and higher per single dose. The dosages for
weight loss is very small compared to
dosages given
for fertility reasons. During pregnancy a women's body
contains hCG in amounts as high as 300,000IU on a daily
basis. Using hCG for dieting does not mimic pregnancy;
it can be safely used by both men and women. Never use
hCG if you are Pregnant or nursing.
The diet dose is only 125IU to 200IU per day. Diets
usually cause stress and changes to the body and with
stress and changes there's always a question concerning
your general health. That is why you hear the old saying
about consulting your doctor before you begin any diet.
It is good to confirm that you don't have any unknown
problems that you are not aware of before you stress
your body with a diet. THERE ARE RISKS FROM REDUCING
YOUR CALORIE INTAKE Because of the low fat food intake
there is a slight chance your body may be susceptible to
hypersensitivity, or gall bladder issues, possible gout attack due to
elevated uric acid levels, not the hCG Will you be
mixing hCG with other medications? hCG does not react to
other mediations but do you have a medical issue? Only
you and your doctor can decide if there are risks to
your health to do a low calorie diet. You and your
doctor should decide if your ready for a diet. HcgDiscountSupplies.com can not be held liable for your

I don’t like needles is there another way to take HCG?
Yes, you can do a sublingual method, you can mix your own hcg drops or buy pre-made drops from www.realhcgdietdrops.com
Doing Injections is the more controlled way to get the correct amount of hCG daily and you will use 1/2 as much compared to the
Sublingual / oral method. We know most people are intimidated
when it comes to needles and shots but don't make the
mistake of classifying all needles and shots as painful
because after you have done one subcutaneous injection
with an insulin syringe you will be totally surprised on
how easy and painless it really is, don't believe us?
Ask any diabetic what’s it like to inject yourself with
a insulin needle, It’s really painless. I personally started my
cycle doing the sublingual method because I thought why
do the injections if the sublingual way works. But after
3 weeks of sublingual I wanted to experience what the
injection was like, after giving myself one injection I
will not go back to sublingual method again. Trying to
hold a tiny amount hCG under your tongue still for 15
minutes was not that easy for me. I could never be sure
if the hCG was still under my tongue after a few
minutes, and I would always wonder how much HCG am I
really absorbing. Now that I have tried both ways I will
always recommend that people do the injection method
because I personally know its easy, painless, more
precise, and you only need half as much hCG. You can
lose more weight with injections because you will be
getting the proper HCG daily dosage. If your still
scared of needles or if its not legal to purchase
needles in your state with out a prescription than you
should go sublingual ! Sublingual does works, I lost
25lbs in my first 3 weeks.
We sell the best small painless needle for subcutaneous
injections (injection in your fat area).
Do we sell hCG?
No we do not sell hCG -
veiw the hCG source
page for third party websites
Are there difference between HCG with the different
names? (Pregnyl, Organon,
Hucog Lupi,
Uni, Ovitrelle)
Pregnyl, Organon, Novarel are the three most common
brand terms for hCG which refer to the actual hormone,
the other names are branding names which help to
distinguish where the source of the manufacture is, and
the container /ampoule style in which the HCG will come
in.
For example Corion and HUCOG will be in a rubber top
Ampoule and manufactures are Asian and Indian
pharmaceuticals labs. Organon and Lupi are typically
glass ampoules that need the top broken off to access
the hCG. These brands also are also Asian and Indian
pharmaceuticals Labs. Ovitrelle is from a European
pharmaceutical. Ovidrel is a product of Recombinant DNA,
it is Manufactured using genetic recombinant technology.
The major advantage of Pregnyl and Novarel is that they
are less expensive than Ovidrel.
All drug manufacturing pharmaceutical labs in all
countries have very strict laws regarding sterilization
and the manufacturing process. There is a scare tactics
being done by the diet clinics and people selling
homeopathic HCG. They are spreading rumors that hCG
manufactured in Asian or Indian pharmacies could be
contaminated. There is not any one case to prove these
statements or any evidence of these false rumors. They
use these dirty tactics to try
to improve their
monthly revenue.
How much hCG should I use?
Dr. Simeons dosage is 125 IU to 175 per day
Kevin Trudeau book says 175 IU - 200 IU Per day
A popular injection dose is 175IU using 5000IU vials/ampoules of hCG.
There is no waste
with this dosage (30 day diet /28 injections/ 2 days for
HCG to exit the body / 30 day total)
Formula
Take the number of days you want to be on the HCG diet
and multiply it by Potency of the injection. (Number of
Days) x (175IU) This gives you the total amount of hCG
international units you will need to order. (Number of
days) X 300 if you intend to take it sublingually.
Example: (if plan to inject) 28 days x 175UI = 4900IU ..
You would buy one 5000 IU ampoule
hCG comes in 1500IU, 2000IU, 5000IU, and10000IU (IU=international
units).We recommend the type of hCG that come with the rubber top seals(Corion, Ovidac, Hucog).The
other type requires breaking the top off the glass
ampoule vial
One hCG 5000IU ampoule vial is will make a solution that
is good for 28 to 33 injections, or 15 days of
sublingual mixture. You can lose .7 to 3 pounds per day
but take note that men lose more than women.
Do I need to exercise?
No, you need to follow a strict low calorie diet plan
and drink a lot of water.
Do I have to eat a low cal diet?
Yes, you must follow a strict low calorie diet that goes
along with the hCG diet. See the hCG diet plan.

Why it is not legal to sell needles in some states
Some states have strict laws because syringes are being used for illegal narcotics. Sales of syringes are restricted in an attempt to keep drug use under control.
The states that require prescriptions for syringe sales are Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, and Massachusetts. I suggest you
order a sublingual kit if you live in one of these
states. If your doctor has provided you a prescription for syringes you can email it to us and we can complete the order.
Please
order based on what your state allows because we cant
break the law. we will void your order if your order comes from these states without a prescription from your doctor-Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, and Massachusetts.
Will you price match other HCG websites?
Yes, as long as we can verify the price and that the
products are similar. We don't sell cheaper brand name
products so it mite not be apples to apples
What do I do if I reach a plateau with my weight loss
during the hCG diet ?
If you have not been taking HCG for more than 42 days
you will break the plateau by doing an apple day. Eat
six apples throughout the day, resume the HCG diet
requirements the following day.
If you still are not losing weight than you have become
immune to hCG and need to go to the next phase of the
diet. You can start another cycle of hCG in 6 weeks.
What do I
do if I have constipation?
Constipation is often encountered when you have less
food intake. There are a few product you can try to help
this situation. One is to increase your fluid intake,
drink more water. There are Herbal teas that can help.
Dieters Tea, Smooth tea, Steep these tea’s for a short
time because they can cause cramping. Licorice tea can
also be beneficial, you may also try Cascara Sagrada.
This is also an herbal supplement that acts as a natural
laxative.
What can I do to ensure that
I lose a pound a day or more while taking hCG?
Things you can do to insure that you lose one pound a
day or more. Complete a colon cleansing diet before you
start using hCG. Drink teas without sugars while on the
hCG Diet Drink more than 2 liters of water per day. Take
vitamin B-12 sublingual to boost your energy and
metabolism. Do not eat genetically modified foods or
foods with high fructose corn syrups. Avoid artificial
sweeteners. Avoid Fast Food Restaurants.
What do I do when I have my
period?
On the first day of full flow, you must stop the
injections. You will continue the 500 cal/day diet. When
your period is almost over and you are just spotting,
you may restart the injections. The injections that you
missed during this time will be added to the end of the
program so that you get the full 23 or 40. Yes, this
will extend your program.
Can you explain hCG Vial
sizes and how much I need to order?
Yes click
here to go to the Beginners Page.
I need to lose about 20- 30
lbs. What package, exactly do I need to order?
If you only have 20 pounds, I would order a 23-30 day
injection kit and the HCG.
I would order ether one 5000IU (Corion, Ovidac, Hucog) or I would
order 2 or 3 of the smaller 2000IU Vials of HCG(Corion, Ovidac, Hucog) The advantage of the smaller vials is mixing
smaller solutions guarantees that your hCG remains fresh
and potent while your storing it. Do not mix all your
vials at once, mix one and use it before mixing the
next. hCG Comes in a powder form and you have to add
a sterile water to reconstitute it for injecting.
For one 5000IU to 10,000 IU You would need this kit for
Injections.
http://www.hcgdiscountsupplies.com/23-30-5000-10000-kit.htm
If you order three 2000IU HCG Vials then you need the
23-30 day kit designed for the 1500-2000 vials.
http://www.hcgdiscountsupplies.com/1500-2000-23-30-kit.htm
Now if you want to go with a oral /sublingual method
then you need to know that 5000IU is only enough to make
15 days of treatment because you will use twice as much
HCG with the oral /sublingual method. I would order at
least 10,000 IU ( 2 X 5000 IU) just so that you have a
30 day supply for this method. Then you also order our
Sublingual mixing kit and you need liquid sublingual
vitamin B-12

Hcg Vial Types
I recommend the HUCOG, CORION, and OVIDAC brands because they are not
the type of ampoules that have to be broken to be opened.
Size of product/vial depends on how much weight you want
to lose.
Average is a pound a day, the common dosage is 175 units
a day for injection , so if I want to lose 30 pounds I
would need 5250(175x30)units of hCG. so one 5000IU hCG
vial would work, or 3 2000IU vials and the right mixing
injection kit.
To give you an easy way to understand these vial numbers
and dosages is to think of the hCG vial numbers as how
many pills it contains. For example and for illustration
purpose only hCG does not come in pill form. This is
just an illustration that I give to help people
understand the International units of measurement.
I have one 5000IU vial of hCG it contains 5000 pills.
I want to take 175 pills a day as my dosage
If I take 175 pills a day this will last me 28.5 days
before I run out of pills.
5000 Divided by 175 = 28.5 days before the bottle is
empty
Ok let’s say I want to take 150IU dosage.
5000 Divided by 150 = 33.3 days before the bottle is
empty
So in realty I am mixing the hCG with the correct
proportion of pure sterile medical grade water solution(
bacteriostatic water) so that I inject .35 cc's per day
and use a dosage of 175IU (International Units) per day.
My 5000 IU is mixed with 10 cc's/ml of bacteriostatic
water and runs out in 28.5 days if I inject .35 cc's
daily.(35 on the 1 cc syringe)
Can I wear makeup?
The reason why its not recommended; make ups contain
oils and creams and believe or not these small amounts
entering in the body from the skin effect your weight
loss. The solution is to use mineral makeup or powder
that is from oil free foundations. Lipstick and eye
makeup are ok to use. Do not use any lip gloss or Chap
Stick. If moisturizer is needed you can use mineral
based oil also known as baby oil.
