Hcg Prices: Does More Expensive Mean More Effective?

One of the most confusing aspects of this new diet program is the hormonal supplements, and with it, HCG prices. Many people are confused about the different methods of obtaining the hormone and wonder if one version is more effective than the other because it is more expensive. In this article, we will break down the two common ways to get the hormonal supplementation and the costs associated with each method.

Method #1: Hormonal Injections

When the diet was first invented by Dr. Simeons, intramuscular injections were the only way you could supplement your reserve of the hormone. They are still quite popular today, even though another method has developed. These injections must be obtained by prescription by a physician in the United States. Some people try to sidestep this and order the injections directly from an overseas pharmacy, which can be rather dangerous and expensive.

Method #2: Sublingual Drops

Over time, another method was developed using the principles of homeopathic medicine. This new method involves ingesting the hormone as a liquid, by placing a few drops under your tongue. This method does not require a prescription in the United States. Many people opt for this method as it is quite convenient, pain-free, and does not even require refrigeration, making it perfect for dieters on the go.

Expensive vs. Effective

Many people believe that you get what you pay for, and that the high cost of injections must indicate they are more effective than the oral HCG. However, you must keep in mind that the high cost of the injections is due in part to the office visit to your physician, pharmacy fees, and other necessary costs that insurance will not cover. In addition, overseas pharmacies charge exorbitant rates for the injections and tack on shipping fees, taxes, duties, and the like. Therefore, the price of injections is rather inflated to begin with.

The drops are much less expensive because they are manufactured in the United States and are shipped domestically. You do not incur the same medical charges when you order the drops that you have with the injections.

As far as efficacy goes, studies indicate there is no difference between the two methods. In fact, in one study, dieters switched from injections to drops and still continued to lose weight at the same astonishing pace. These dieters also felt fewer hunger pains and more energy.
