Homeopathic HCG Drops is effective in helping dieters lose weight, and especially effective with those wishing to shed twenty pounds or more. The steady weight loss assisted with the HCG Diet hormone can top a pound per day or more. A question is whether the drops or injections are more effective and which method of administration a potential dieter might choose before beginning a program. There are pros and cons to both methods, and considerations should be made according to lifestyle and activities before the diet process is begun.
The HCG powder comes with sterile diluents from the manufacturer and the two must be mixed before injection or oral use. The mixture must be kept refrigerated.
HCG Drops are taken three to six times daily and absorbed sublingually (under the tongue,) and must fit within a dieter’s routine. Dosage levels vary depending on weight loss goals, and depending on the number of pounds to be shed a dose could require an ounce of the HCG hormone for three weeks at a time. By both methods, whether the administration is by drops or injection, the HCG hormone must be kept refrigerated at all times or unless stated by your supplier. This is possibly a setback for those who work outside the home or have long commutes to and from work, travel or if the weekly routine isn’t regular. Drops also require diligence to be sure a dose isn’t missed, so can be a burden for those with busy schedules.
HCG Drops are just as effective… While HCG drops have been found to be as effective as injections, the injections have shown a better result in lowering appetite and hunger pains while increasing energy. Drops are more cost effective compared with injections because the injections may require a doctor’s prescription whereas the drops are available without prescription.
As an alternative to HCG drops, dieters may opt for the injection method as a daily dose, which can be taken once per day convenient to lifestyle and work patterns. Some dieters, while in support of the homeopathic aspect of the treatment, are opposed to needle injections, which are not natural processes.
The needle injections have side effects which can include discomfort, whether pressure or pinching pain or a stinging sensation. There can also be a slight bruising to the area. With the injection method, the refrigerated HCG powder/diluents mix is drawn to a syringe and injected. The injections are usually given in the thigh in dosages of 0.3 cc up to 1cc.
With either choice, the pounds will be shed at the rate of one to two per day, as long as the accompanying diet is well managed. The only major differences between drops and injection dosage methods is with the dosage convenience, cost, and availability. While HCG drops can cost $85 per ounce, injections can cost $400, $800 or more depending on the clinic.
