Potential HCG dieters often have questions about the product, about their specific situation and about the safety of using the diet supplement. Some of the most frequently asked questions are about wether or not the product is appropriate for use with one individual. People tend to think that HCG's drastic results could have other, drastic effects unrelated to weight loss. They're wrong.

Some ask about the general safety of HCG. HCG is undeniably safe. Pregnant women can experience high levels of HCG with no negative effects. The small amount ingested during the weight loss program comes with absolutely NO side effects.

Others ask about specific safety issues for men who use the program. HCG is safe for men. HCG is actually found naturally in every human tissue: male or female, pregnant or non-pregnant. The introduction of HCG into males with the intention of losing weight is usually far more successful than the same program implemented by females. (Sorry ladies...apparently it's just the way of the world!) Men tend to lose more weight more quickly than their female counterparts on the HCG program.

HCG is sometimes called into question regarding other, vital medications. HCG dieters can relax knowing that HCG does not interact with any other medications (birth control included!)

While HCG is safe for pregnant women; navigating the diet while pregnant is not safe. Pregnant women should not limit themselves to the sort of Very Low Calorie Diet used by the HCG program. If you discover you are pregnant while on the program, stop taking your HCG and consult your physician.

HCG offers results without side effects. It's hard to believe for many, but it's true. The safety of HCG is one of its many positive attributes. In comparison with other dieting supplements, the HCG is extremely gentle on the body. And that's really saying something considering the extreme results it offers.
