Top 5 FAQs About Homeopathic HCG Drops

First of all, “homeopathic” is the method used to describe how homeopathic HCG drops are formulated. Dr. Samuel Christian Frederic Hahnemann, M.D. was the founder of Homoeopathy. He established the fundamental principles of the science and art of Homoeopathy. He is called the Father of Experimental Pharmacology because he was the first physician to prepare medicines in a specialized way; proving them on healthy human beings, to determine how the medicines acted to cure diseases.

The Homeopathic Paradox: Weaker Is Stronger
Homeopathic remedies are prepared by a process of serial dilution and shaking known as potentization. The more homeopathic remedies are diluted and shaken, the stronger their action becomes. Chemically, the substance becomes more and more dilute. Clinically, however, Hahnemann found that the more a substance was potentized, the less often it needed to be given to the patient to produce a curative action and the deeper was its effect. Now, over 150 years after Hahnemann’s death, homeopaths continue to validate this observation and cure patients with what seem to be infinitesimally small doses of natural substances.

Homeopathic HCG is available in some health food stores, chiropractic offices, etc., and, from our experience, homeopathic HCG produces the same typical results as prescription forms of HCG (pills, injections, creams, sublingual drops, spray) during the HCG Diet.

These are the top five questions people have about homeopathic HCG.

1. Why are homeopathic drops preferred over injectable HCG? Homeopathic drops are more convenient overall than HCG injections. You don’t need to get a prescription from a doctor (a savings of time and money) and homeopathic HCG is typically less expensive than prescription HCG. Homeopathic drops don’t require syringes and alcohol pads, not to mention the pain and fear associated with daily injections. After all, who wants to give themselves a shot every morning?

For injectable HCG, refrigeration is absolutely required and, even when refrigerated, has a much shorter shelf life than homeopathic drops, for example, 30 days is pushing it. For homeopathic HCG drops with a mineral water base, refrigeration is recommended and the drops are good for several months as long as they stay tightly closed and refrigerated, while homeopathic drops made with an alcohol base do not have to be refrigerated. Throw your bottle of alcohol-based HCG drops in your purse and you’re good to go! During any time that you are not taking the HCG, the drops should be tightly sealed and kept in the refrigerator for maximum potency and preservation.

2. Is homeopathic HCG “real” HCG and do all homeopathic HCG drops work? If you purchase your homeopathic HCG drops from a reputable vendor that sells high quality drops made in a USA FDA-approved laboratory and “Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)” is listed in the ingredients, you should be o.k. Be on the lookout for “HCG Drops” that list a bunch of amino acids and other vitamins but do not list “Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)”. This is not the real thing; you’ll most likely have a lower rate of loss, be hungry and struggle to stay on the protocol. When making high quality homeopathic HCG drops, the lab will start with a small amount of human-form, prescription HCG, as the base ingredient. There can be a variety of formulations but having an authentic foundation (by beginning with real hcg) is critical to obtaining the expected weight loss results.
3. Do you inject homeopathic HCG? Homeopathic HCG is taken sublingually, which means that you place the drops under your tongue and let them soak into your body through the membranes. Homeopathic HCG is absolutely not meant to be injected, and injecting it could cause serious health risks. It is very important for anyone participating in the HCG Diet Protocol to know exactly how to administer and store whatever form of HCG they have chosen to use.
4. Why doesn’t homeopathic HCG that has an alcohol base need to be refrigerated? The alcohol acts as a preservative and so it’s not necessary, especially if you’re going to use the entire bottle in the “round” of the diet that you are doing currently. However, if you don’t use the entire bottle and want to save it for your next round, which can be started no sooner than 6 weeks, the HCG should be closed tightly and put in the refrigerator where it will be good for up to 4 months.
5. When does homeopathic HCG expire? Homeopathic HCG that is unopened and kept in a cool, dry place usually has an expiration date of 2 years from the manufacture date for mineral water-based drops and 5 years from the manufacture date for alcohol-based drops. However, once the bottle is opened/used, it will eventually become contaminated with air, saliva, and other substances. Therefore, once opened, homeopathic HCG typically has a shelf life of about four months if kept in the refrigerator. After four months, the drops will likely begin to lose some potency, even if refrigerated. If you start a new round of the diet with “old” HCG, be on the lookout for signs indicating that the old HCG is no longer effective, such as, slowed weight loss, fatigue and hunger.
