HCG is the type of hormone found in human body and specially females during their pregnancy period. The hormone named Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is popularly called HCG and is responsible for enhanced metabolism in female body when she is carrying child. This hormone that is naturally produced in female body during this period is also artificially injected in order to enhance the fertility. The use of this hormone was earlier related to pregnancy but later in 1950s, the whole story changed when physician called ATW Simeon performed different tests on this hormone for other applications like weight loss.

These tests were performed along with low calorie diet to get the substantial weight loss. The process that started in 50s got approval only in 1970s as the wrong administration of the hormone and the diet may also result into dangerous outcomes.

 

What are Sublingual HCG Drops?

 

The success of the tests carried out on HCG hormone gave birth to a new HCG diet plan that was capable of offering substantial weight loss. The HCG hormone was at the base of this diet and there was a need of administering HCG hormone externally. The effectiveness of the entire diet plan is based on the right administration of HCG into human body and it is usually carried out by injection or orally through sublingual HCG drops.

 

 

The sublingual drops offer the pain free way of getting this hormone as the intake is very simple and one has to take the drops below the tongue for proper absorption. These drops are also called Homeopathic drops

 

How do these drops work?

The HCG levels in the pregnant female rise as the pregnancy advances. The hormone is produced in the placenta and it transmits the signal to hypothalamus, which in turn mobilizes fat. During the process of fat metabolism, energy is released for the growth of foetus. These drops are also based on the same concept and do the same work as the natural HCG hormone.

The HCG diet plan is combined with VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) of 500 calories per day. The use of the drops mobilizes the stored fat and provides energy to the body. The intake goes low, burning of calorie increases, and the person feels fuller for longer due to the fat mobilization. The entire cycle results into heavy weight loss and is usually in the range of 1 lb to 3 lb per day.
