What About And Hcg Alternative

You may have heard about a new HCG alternative on the market. While this has been used by some for the treatment of obesity, very few have had good results with the product or have positive reviews of it. This actually should come as no surprise; the product contains nothing in the way of genuine HCG, and appears to have little effectiveness as a weight loss remedy.

In addition, it costs more than genuine HCG.

Is It Effective?

The active ingredient of this product is an artificial form of HCG, known as Alt-hCG rM. According to the manufacturer, it does the same thing as genuine HCG in re-regulating the hypothalamus and liquefying fat deposits, releasing them into a form that can be better utilized by the body for fuel. According to the manufacturer, this artificial hormone is preferable because it does not produce "hormonal spikes" – which the promotional literature claims is why the FDA "opposes" the use of HCG as a weight loss remedy.

The fact is that the FDA does not "oppose" the use of HCG for this purpose. It simply hasn't "approved" it. This is an important distinction.

No Guarantee

In addition, the manufacturer of this artificial HCG does not appear to stand behind the product. No refund is offered should it not work for the customer. Returns are accepted only for bottles that have not been opened or were "delivered in error" – and are subject to a 25% restocking fee.

About "Off-Label" Use

It is very common in the medical profession to prescribe a particular medication to treat a condition for which it was not originally intended. One common example is the use of tetracycline for the treatment of acne. Originally, this medication was an antibiotic, and is still used for this purpose.

Another example is aspirin, which is essentially a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory. However, it is widely accepted as a blood thinner as well, and is even used as an emergency treatment for heart attack.

HCG has been a standard fertility treatment for many years, used to stimulate both egg and sperm production. Used "off-label" as a weight loss remedy, used in conjunction with Dr. Simeons' protocols, it is perfectly safe.

The fact is that there is no real HCG alternative. You would only wind up paying more for a product that has a good chance of doing nothing for you. The best way to go is with genuine HCG.
