HCG Injections and Shot Information
Ask your physician first!
How do HCG shots help people lose weight? There are several theories. First, it should be noted that HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is associated with pregnancy, and the American Medical Association discourages people from using it as weight loss product. Kevin Trudeau has been known to endorse it, though he is not a doctor. If you are looking to lose weight with HCG, and want to know how to get an HCG prescription, then you should consult with a medical professional. This is because you may have factors in your health that may make HCG shots risky. You should let all your doctors know you are taking HCG since it can also be a marker for other types of illness, and you would not want to get a false diagnosis. Most frequently, naturopaths are the doctors who prescribe HCG injections, but you still want to let any doctor or alternative medical provider know if you have other health issues.
Notes and Special Information
Special note: Nothing on this site should be considered to be medical advice! Always ask a licensed physician for the best information. Many people swear by HCG but it is a hormone and as such has side effects that you may or may not want to experience. You can also lose weight by changing what you eat, and the HCG diet is part of this change.
