hCG - Human Chorionic GonadotropinOur hCG is NaturalReleana™ is a liquid sublingual form of hCG The type of hCG used in Releana™ is 100% natural and comes from the placenta of pregnant women. What is hCG?
This hCG (which is present in their urine) is from the pharmacy and is safe and there is NO risk of communicable diseases. Use of hCG for treatment of obesityThe first report on the use of hCG for the management of obesity was published in 1954 by Dr. ATW Simeons, a German-born physician. Based on his extended investigations with patients showing different degrees of obesity, he concluded that hCG might be useful for the treatment of obesity because:
For many years the hCG program for weight loss has enjoyed
worldwide popularity due to the excellent results obtained. Daily administration
of 125 IU of hCG plus a Very Low Calorie Diet
rapidly decreases body fat without side effects. Hundreds of thousands
of patients benefit from this safe and effective weight reduction program. Why is hCG not approved for Obesity treatment by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)?After Dr. Simeons first published reports of his protocol for use of hCG in the treatment of obesity, this preliminary communication was followed by a myriad of reports, some of them favoring the use of hCG, and others criticizing the procedure. Finally, and after a serial of Double-Blind Tests, the FDA concluded the method bears no utility for Obesity therapy. The FDA forced Pharmaceutical Firms to include in their hCG leaflets a paragraph stating that hCG was of no use in the management of obesity. FDA parameters for approving drugs for obesity treatment require that more weight should be lost with the use of drug than with a placebo. And, we agree, the use of hCG as indicated in Dr. Simeon’s protocol does not result in more pounds lost vs. a placebo. However, with hCG, there is a dramatic difference in where the weight is lost. The result of treatment with hCG is a dramatic loss of body fat while maintaining muscle mass! Without hCG, patients on a VLCD will experience a noticeable loss of muscle mass. With hCG hunger is suppressed and the Very Low Calorie Diet is tolerated well for one, two, three plus months. hCG Shots or hCG InjectionsUntil recently, people who wanted to pursue a weight loss program with hCG had to receive daily injections of hCG. A daily hCG shot is just as effective as Releana. The advantage to Releana is the convenience. Read more here. Oral HCGThere is not a successful oral form of hCG. If there was, it would mean that you could swallow a pill, capsule or liquid containing hCG as a way of receiving a dose of hCG. If hCG goes to the stomach it becomes inactive. The sublingual form of hCG (Releana) is a liquid that is delivered by a dropper under the tongue and is absorbed by membranes there. hCG DietIf you are receiving hCG injections, we recommend the same very low calorie diet (VLCD) as people on the Releana protocol. |
