They Have Information About The HCG Diet ? They Know If It Is Effective And It Works ?
The Human Chorionic Gonadotropin therapy is very controversial treatment and medical opinion is very divided , I send you a link to more research on the subject , personally I think the HCG diet if it can potentially help an overall aesthetic improvement but I am skeptical on long-term results , we also think it is a treatment that must be supervised by specialists and that is a very powerful drug , and may cause unwanted effects.
HCG is used in fertility therapy because it is similar to luteinizing hormone and produces a hiperovulacion , in men the effect is directly increase testosterone and it is used in sports doping .
Regarding the physiological effects of obesity have not found reliable information , only a few studies suggesting that it is effective , although I repeat that opinion is divided professional
