Oral HCG???

[Mr. Bigs]

Ive been reading alot about this "HCG Diet".... its basically an oral form of HCG taken at 125iu a day. People claim to lose 1-2lbs of fat a day on this...they are also limiting their cals to 500 a day. Some people are taking the HCG for injection and making it into an oral.

Anyone heard of this or have any experience with oral HCG or this diet?

Wow that sounds like a total outrage of nonsense. Oral HCG...to loose fat? Are we talking about the same HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)?

Sounds like a load to me.

Here we are, this sounds about right.




According to David L Walters, DO, Ph.D., the use of Oral hCG or Sublingual hCG is an ineffective method of delivering hCG to the body for use in the hCG Diet.
From an article published on his website (www.diet-hcg.com/oral-hcg.html), he claims:

The short answer to the above question is YES, oral HCG and sublingual HCG is a complete and utter fraud. HCG is only biologically active when injected into the body via a hypodermic needle. This fact apparently does not stop numerous web sites from offering “oral” or “sublingual” forms of HCG for sale in order to avoid the need for injections

Yep, that's what I thought, too. The molecule is just too large to be absorbed sublingually, and it would get destroyed in the gut, just like HGH.

lol. the limiting calories to 500 a day will cause anyone to lose alot of fat and weight.
they should call it the "starving ethiopian" diet.

Hey isn't that basically the Taco Bell diet? 1250 cals a day aint much better.

500 calories? hell, one of my protein shakes is more than that. and thats a light meal for me. more like a snack.
