Indian River Acupuncture is offering Homeopathic HGC drops for healthy weight loss. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced during pregnancy. Stephanie Buttaccio, AP, DOM explains that HCG signals the hypothalamus to release energy stores (fat) to support the developing fetus. In non-pregnant, overweight women, HCG curbs the appetite and by tricking the body into thinking it’s pregnant, the body burns fat, not muscle. “Weight loss can equal a pound daily, when combined with a 500-750 calorie diet, says Buttacio. “People taking HCG have a much lower hunger level, feel energetic, and continue to lose weight without stagnating even with reduced caloric intake.”

“The jury is out on whether or not injecting HCG for weight loss is safe,” offers Buttaccio. “So instead, we use homeopathic HCG. Unlike the HCG injectables, the homeopathic HCG (HHCG) drops contain a negligible amount of hormone.” Buttaccio explains that placing the homeopathic HCG drops onto a urine pregnancy test will show negative, meaning there are no detectable levels of HCG. “Homeopathic remedies are safe because they are extremely dilute. The process of making a homeopathic remedy removes any toxicity from the original substance, virtually eliminating side effects.”

“Our office manager, Robin, has lost 64 pounds using HHCG, and many patients have experienced significant weight loss,” shares Buttaccio.
