Mediral HCG Drops

HCG drops are the hottest new thing in weight loss. The Mediral brand of HCG drops is one of the most popular on the market.

What are HCG drops?

HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and is actually a natural hormone secreted into the bloodstream during a woman's pregnancy. Back in the 1950s, a doctor doing research on obesity discovered that the only time the human body burns abnormal fat is during pregnancy when HCG is being secreted. The doctor then created a diet and experimented with usage and concurrent treatment using injections of the HCG hormone to obese patients. Over the years, HCG injections have been approved by the FDA and widely used as a fertility treatment. More recently, the HCG diet has been revamped, and people who seek freedom from obesity are starting to use it as an alternative to possibly dangerous weight loss surgeries. Homeopathic HCG drops were developed recently and effectively 'mimic' the hormone, creating the same effect at a fraction of the cost of the expensive HCG hormone shots.

How do you use HCG?

Homeopathic HCG drops are administered in conjunction with a very low calorie diet. It is sold in varying strengths, and the recommended dosage either increases or decreases with each. The Mediral brand is formulated with special amino acids and vitamins that help the body retain energy while one is consuming such a small amount of calories per day. The recommended usage of the drops is to place the required number of drops under the tongue, typically five to seven, and to hold it there for five minutes. For maximum effectiveness, refrain from eating or drinking anything 15 minutes before the drops are administered and 15 minutes after.

Under no circumstances should one attempt to follow the very low calorie diet without the HCG drops, or attempt to take the HCG drops without following the low calorie diet. The two must be used simultaneously. Are there any side effects?

To date there have been few to no reported major side effects while using HCG drops. The framework of the plan calls for one to lose on average between one and one and a half pounds per day. Whenever rapid weight loss occurs, some side effects are experienced. Most if not all of which are manageable. For example, some report hair loss. Adding the vitamin supplement BIotin greatly reduces this risk. Another mild side effect is stretch marks. Contrary to what most believe, stretch marks appear not only when weight is gained rapidly, but also when it is lost rapidly. Using cocoa butter or aloe vera gel topically on the affected areas reduces their appearance.

The resurgence of the HCG diet has given many people the opportunity to lose weight. Mediral Homeopathic HCG drops provide an affordable way to take advantage of the opportunity and achieve their weight loss goals quickly, safely and without the use of actual drugs.
