Human chorionic gonadotropin or human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced during pregnancy that is made by the developing embryo after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast (part of the placenta).[1][2] Some cancerous tumors produce this hormone; therefore, elevated levels measured when the patient is not pregnant can lead to a cancer diagnosis. However, it is not known whether this production is a contributing cause or an effect of tumorigenesis. The pituitary analog of hCG, known as luteinizing hormone (LH), is produced in the pituitary gland of males and females of all ages.[1][3] As of December 6, 2011, the FDA has prohibited the sale of "homeopathic" and OTC hCG diet products and declared them fraudulent and illegal.[4][5][6]

You caught that homeopathic and OTC products are FRAUDULENT.

The real HCG come in injectable form. It is a white crystalline powder that you add Bacteriostatic Water and men take a dosage of 1500ius ed for a period up to 2 weeks to help induce natural testosterone production.

Bacteriostatic water has 1% benzyl alcohol (BA) added in, while sterile water is just sterile H20. Bacteriostatic antibiotics inhibit growth and reproduction of bacteria without killing them. Bactericides will actually kill bacteria, and bacteriostatic solutions will only prevent bacteria from forming. So it's just like the name implies--it's bacteria-static water. Whereas sterile water is just water. You can make bacteriostatic water by mixing correct portions of Benzyl Alochol and distilled water (for example 99 ml water+1 ml BA) through a filter, but it's just easier and safer to buy it yourself...

Didn't I read somewhere that HCG is made from the URINE of pregnant women? Injecting someone else's pee into my body? EWWWWWWWWWWW I don't think so!

My sister's friend was on this hcg diet. She was only supposed to eat 500 calories with the HCG added. I told her with eating 500 calories you would loose weight anyway.

Yes it is a big scam and placebo. Eating 500 puts your body into ketosis, which curbs hunger naturally. People gain back all the weight once they starting eating normally.

What I am getting at is what is actually in these HCG products? Because I know it definitely isn't real HCG because the real HCG is prescription only. ; )

And another note : If it "Was" real once HCG is reconstituted with bariostatic Water the product has a shelf life of only 20-30 day before the peptide quits working.

How long did your products stay packaged up before they were on the storefront shelves? LOL
