An Analysis On The Use Of Liquid HCG Diet

By Claudine MacDonald


Use of liquid hCG diet is rapidly becoming a method of choice for people in need of losing some weight. Discovered about three decades ago, this method was at first looked down upon to be inferior to the use of injections until just recently when it was shown to be as equally effective. There has been an increase in shifting of preference to the liquid and oral form because it is convenient to use and less painful.

Human chorionic gonadotrophic hormone which is abbreviated as hCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy and excreted through urine from which it can be measured. The blood levels of this hormone usually increase for about 12 weeks after which they fall therefore becoming a reliable pregnancy test especially in the early days. The levels of this hormone in blood can also provide an assessment of risk of birth defects.

Of greater significance in function of this hormone is in the developing fetus where it plays a big role in ensuring that there is enough calories and food available even when the mother is not in a position to eat. This is possible through the action of this hormone on the brain at the level of the hypothalamus where it stimulates actions that will breakdown any fat that is abnormal or in excess of body requirements such as that stored in the hips or abdomen.

When this mechanism of fat breakdown is combined or supported by intake of very low calorie, then it causes weight loss. Because the hormone acts on body fat that is abnormal or excess, it is advantageous to the patient in that normal body fat is spared. The body is therefore reshaped but in addition to losing of excessive weight.

The liquid formulation is available in two parts; there is a liquid serum and a hormone powder. This powder form must therefore be mixed with the serum form for the therapy to be effective and bring the desired effects. Currently there are other preparations that do not require mixing of the two parts but they are relatively expensive.

Functionally the liquid and injection preparations of hCG have the same potency of action. For the liquid form, the recommended number of drops to be used in a day is 4 usually administered sublingually. This is done for a period of 21 days and is estimated that approximately 1 pound will be lost each day. The results are achieved faster when there is a supplementary 500 calorie diet.

This method is much easier to use both for the administrator and the user. There is no need for needles and expertise of delivery and the process is less painful. The dosage can also easily be divided into a morning 2 drop treatment and then another 2 drops to complete the 4 daily drops in the evening.

Generally the cost of liquid hCG diet tends to be lower unlike injections. The side effected associated to it are also fewer, there are no muscle cramps or after injection pains. Finally the use of liquid forms does not require prescription from medical profession and can be easily self administered by the person using it.
