What is HCG?

Human chorionic gonadotropin, more commonly known as HCG, is a bioidentical hormone produced by the fetus during pregnancy. HCG plays a number of roles in the pregnancy cycle, from protecting the ovaries and maintaining progesterone levels to aiding in the immune tolerance of the pregnancy. HCG is also very effective for weight loss as it targets abnormal fat deposits and has a protective effect on lean muscle.

HCG and Weight Loss

Until recently, the use of HCG for weight loss had been a subtle blip on the weight loss radar. HCG has been used by fertility clinics for many years, but its use as a weight loss aid had been mainly reserved for celebrities as a way to lose weight quickly. HCG has only recently become popularized by books like Kevin Trudeau’s The Weight Loss Cure "They" Don't Want You to Know About and others. However, HCG’s application to weight loss was first discovered in the late 1960's by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, a British endocrinologist. Today HCG is being used all over the world as a safe and effective tool for losing weight.
