Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) - Pharmaceutical Grade Vs. Homeopathic

By Alina Karemin


Losing weight and leading a healthier lifestyle has now become part and parcel of today's society. New methods of weight loss pop up daily, and only some are tested and tried. The use of hCG to lose weight is one such treatment. Generally speaking, two types of hCG are available on the market: a pharmaceutical grade form and a homeopathic form.

But which one is recommended and which one is better? Here are shall take a closer look at this.

Pharmaceutical grade hCG

The pharmaceutical grade human chorionic gonadotropin can only be obtained with a physician's prescription. Available as a drug in the pharmacy, is reassuring to know that pharmaceutical grade hCG would have undergone rigorous testing in clinical trials to ensure its efficacy. As recommended by Dr ATW Simeons, it is available in particular concentrations. The founder of the hCG diet, Dr Simeons, says that the hCG product must contain at least 125 IU of hCG for effective weight loss. Anything below that will be ineffective and can be pretty much useless.

Homeopathic hCG

There has been a fair bit of controversy over the use of homeopathic hCG. The contents of the drop form that is available, were shown in a breakdown to contain water, vitamins, alcohol and only trace amounts of hCG, if any at all. One cannot be sure how much hCG they are receiving through these drops, given that there is a minimum requirement of hCG in order to lose weight effectively through the hCG diet protocol.

Discussions have been held on a number of Internet forums about the usefulness of homeopathic hCG. In general, opinion says it does not help with weight loss, although there are some who say it has helped them. It is probable that they have been helped more by a placebo effect and that the weight loss actually results from exercise and diet.

Advice on purchasing

If you are keen to start the hCG diet, it is essential that you see a doctor first ensure that is the right step for you. You will probably get completely useless homeopathic medication if you purchase 'hCG drops' on the Internet, so we do not recommend this. Ensure that you receive the right amount of hCG to be the effective dose to lose weight, as recommended by Dr Simeons, with a physician prescribed pharmaceutical grade hCG.

Conclusion

There differences between pharmaceutical grade and homeopathic hCG are significant and important. Pharmaceutical grade hCG is clearly superior to homeopathic hCG, as shown by the available evidence.
