HCG weight loss products can be a miracle for those struggling with weight that does not seem to want to budge. It is a real thing and it truly works, but only if done in the correct way. The surge in this diet has had people rushing to the Internet and even the local supermarket to pull it off the shelves. While it is safe when given under proper supervision and prescription, the FDA and FTC are putting a stop to homeopathic HCG products.
The FDA and FTC recently sent letters to companies warning they were violating federal law by selling the homeopathic form of HCG when they have not been approved. The HCG protocol is based on the fact that the HCG hormone triggers the body to release stored fats and deliver the nutrition needed to supplement a low caloric intake. The labeling for the homeopathic HCG products states that each product should be taken in conjunction with a very low calorie diet. Homeopathic HCG is not prescribed and can usually be accessed at a local health food store. It is a liquid comprised of vitamins, stimulants and HCG. Pharmaceutical HCG is monitored by a doctor and is ensured to have a minimum of 125 international units of HCG. Patients must take a blood test and detail medical history before a prescription is even written to begin the program. Homeopathic products are not under supervision of a doctor. Anyone on a low caloric intake should be under medical supervision.
The homeopathic method has many people experiencing various side effects and many regaining the weight. This is often because there is not enough HCG present to truly affect the body. It is the same thing as merely going on a diet and putting the body in ketosis. The body begins to burn muscle instead of fat. Anyone on a 500 calorie diet will lose weight, but pharmaceutical HCG is safe, monitored and has enough of the product in it that it will not make you gain weight after the program is over. Homeopathic HCG could lead to many other health issues if not monitored.
The FDA and FTC says that deceptive advertising is a type of fraud. With no scientific evidence from homeopathic drugs there is not accurate information for consumers to make a good decision. The companies have 15 days to notify the FDA of the steps they have taken to correct the violations cited. Failure to do so may result in legal action, including seizure and injunction, or criminal prosecution.
