Oral HCG Question

[Turkish Juicer]

Hello everyone,

I have been running into a whole a lot of Oral HCG (HCG drops) results on Google, legit looking products for the most part, which has naturally intrigued me: does Oral HCG work? Can it really be the equivalent of HCG Pregnly, which is administered via injections?

I am looking for solid answers that are preferably based on personal experience, not estimations, guesses and alike.

Thank you.

PS: Below is the claim of a legitimate company that produces and distributes Oral HCG.

What’s the difference between the drops and injections?

In the “old days,” HCG could only be prescribed by a doctor and delivered through a daily injection at the doctors office. In recent years, the drop has been perfected, which is taken sublingually, by simply holding the drops under the tongue. While many other drops must be held under the tongue for several minutes, HCG EZ Drops are formulated with a substrate that allows them to pass into your blood stream in about a minute! HCG EZ Drops don’t require a prescription.

I was just in FLorida last week and every spa down there offers HCG as a diet solution. Can walk right in. No script needed. Then I was at Walmart and saw 2 companies selling HCG pills. Was so curious about them. Hopefully someone with experience of the drops will comment...

In my expereince anything other than injections is bogus! I have known a number of ppl to try them from stores and web sites and I don't believe they had any legetimit benifit!

The stuff sold as an oral HCG diet is a joke...it also requires a dangerous 500 cal a day diet. Yeah...you will lose weight (muscle weight is believed to be about 60% of the weight lost on the HCGdiet)

I agree. Injections only.

"The reason fertility patients don't take oral hCG but inject it instead is because it doesn't work. Your body doesn't absorb the proteins in hCG when taken orally. An article in the July 2008 "Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences" by researchers from the University of Louisville pointed out that proteins, which includes hCG, break down and are not well absorbed when given orally. Since supposedly just the "essence" of the drug remains in homeopathic medicine, this offers supporters of the diet an easy out as to why oral hCG doesn't show up on blood tests."

"No studies on the efficacy of oral hCG are available; evidence of its effectiveness is strictly anecdotal."

I read a article similar to this a while back when researching the same thing after seeing it at walmart and having a good chuckle.

Lunk and Mickey are 100% correct, My fiance was stuck into thinking she was taking the same HCG i was( lol her wally world brand). She wouldn't believe me. I told her about the "hcg diet" that goes along with the HCG tabs and told her anyone eating only 500 calories is going to loose a crap ton of weight why even take a chemical? she took the tabs for months ( lost maybe 3 lbs) more of a placebo effect i think.

Now i have her on a real diet, at the correct macros in 2 weeks shes down 7.4lbs and loosing..... shes only 135 to begin with so thats a full size for a woman
