There is an ongoing debate about the relative merits of HCG drops vs. HCG injections. Our website is of the opinion that the oral HCG weight loss program is superior to the injections when it comes to effective weight loss. There are a multitude of reasons why we take this position, not the least of which is that people who use drops are more likely to stay with the HCG diet.
About HCG Injections
The primary use of HCG in the medical profession is by fertility specialists. Regular injections of HCG can help couples who are unable to conceive otherwise. It does this by stimulating the production of eggs in women and raising testosterone in men, thus increasing sperm count.
HCG injections have been a standard fertility treatment for many years. Such injections are also used “off label” by a small number of exclusive weight reduction clinics. Therein lays one of the problems with this form of HCG.
While there is nothing wrong with “off-label” use of a medication (doctors do it quite frequently), the injectable form of HCG is legally available only by prescription. A large part of this has to do with the needle syringes. If you have these without a valid prescription, you are risking a great deal (for reasons that should be obvious).
This is also why you should not order “HCG Injection Kits” online. Most of the websites that offer these kits – which include illegal syringes – are located in foreign countries where the homeopathic remedy industry is not well-regulated. When you order from such sources, you have no real guarantee of what you are getting, or if you will get anything at all. Predators and con artists are still plentiful on the Internet, and many people have learned the hard way that due diligence is necessary before doing business with anyone.
About HCG Drops
One of the greatest advantages to HCG drops as opposed to injections is the ease of use. Whereas the injection solution must be mixed by the end user and carefully measured into a syringe, the oral drops are ready for your use. All you need to do is place four-tenths of a milliliter (about 14-16 drops) under your tongue and hold them there a few minutes without swallowing while the medication is absorbed into your system. (The reason you don’t swallow directly is because homeopathic compounds are rendered ineffective by stomach acid.)
The other advantage is that HCG drops are easy and legal to obtain from reliable sources. In the U.S. Homeopathic remedies are made by laboratories that require a license and are required to hire only workers with certified pharmaceutical training and experience.
The best indication that you are dealing with a reliable and legitimate source is to see an actual physical address on the website along with a phone number. Any e-mail correspondence should be addressed to the same domain (so in other words, something like “customerinfo@xyzhomeopathics.com”). If you are directed to a Gmail or Hotmail account, it’s not a good sign. You should definitely keep shopping for your oral HCG weight loss supplies.
