Hi...there is a very specific diet/protocol that goes along with the HCG/HHCG...some folks use the protein shakes as a replacement for the protein portion of the diet. There is a group here that does alternative protocol. You might want to check out that thread and ask there.

How do pellets compare to drops?

I think you're okay if you just gently shake before using.

I've been sifting through here trying to determine which brand I want to try once I start my round at the end of March. Intermountain seems fairly priced. Anyone have experience with Powermax (regular, +, or turbo)?

WOE: HCG
Start Date: January 2011
I've got Natural Health Labs/Green Web Properties Drops too (w/Alcohol)! I bought them online but they no longer allow HCG to be sold on the very popular site that I purchased from. I got 2 2oz Bottles for a very low price plus shipping. They worked wonderfully for me, I didn't load very well (actually lost weight) so the first VLCD day or 2 were a little rough but after that I was not hungry at all! The best part was that all my coworkers and friends were asking me what I was doing and noticing a difference and I ended up ordering 8 additional bottles for them and it has worked great for them too. Natural health labs Supplies several other companies so in some cases you will pay more for the same items just because thats what they want to sell it for. I know this because my first and second set of hHcg came from a different sellers but had the same manufactured date and lot numbers on the side. But It did work of me and others very well.

homeopathics must be activated. To do this, lightly tap bottle on a leather note-book, or the palm of your hand about 10 times. Keep homeopathics away from electronics, and in a dark spot.

Thank you!!

Do I do this every time I use the product, or just the first time?

I am trying to locate a bottle of hhcg drops that way I could go ahead and start loading Saturday like planned and then switch to injections when it comes or if all goes well with the drops it would be nice not to feel like a pin cushion. I noticed one of the big chain drug stores advertised "the hcg solution" but it also says hormone free so that doesn't sound right to me, any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I looked at "hcg solution" at the local chain drug store too before I ordered my drops online. Since they didn't contain the actual hormone (contents read "amino acid isolates") I decided not to risk it. Plus, they wer $10 more than what I ordered online and are working well for me so far.

I order my second and third batch using Intermountain. Does this solution contain active HCG? I noticed on the ingrediant list it is listed. I thought it was homeopathic but it does not say it on the bottle.

intermountain is homeopathic you can't buy RX over the counter homeopathics ork by having a MINUTE and i mean MINUTE amount of the substance in it that is why some people say "but there is no REAL hcg in it" uh duh that is how it works! makes me so mad when i see it over and over and honestly i think that is why the FDA is looking at it so much more lately sorry for the rant this is a hot button issue with me

What about the Evoke? I am thinking of changing my brand and am looking at Evoke or Natural Health Labs.

Looks like a few use the Natural Health Labs.

Anyone use the Evoke?

that's the one I started with, it worked fine. Netrition sells it, too. I switched to Natural Health labs for price.

I want DH to try the diet and I think I may try the Intermountain for him.

Is this a product you have to use for the rest of your life to keep the weight off? What happens when you quit?

This "product" (hcg), is only a part of the whole program. It is not used, during the whole round, and this isn't like any other diet. Unlike most other diets, This "diet" is something that you MUST research, and learn about BEFORE you start it. Google Dr. Simeon's "Pounds and Inches," read it, read it again, and then...you will understand the concept of the whole thing, and how it helps to "fix" your metabolism. Happy Researching.

I have the Evoke and that is who I went with when I first started out. It had a different label on it then. But I have had great success with the Evoke!! And my last order (just 2 weeks ago!) was the Evoke. I like it that much!

I have used the intermountain drops, have ordered the pellets but haven't tried them yet. I had sucess with the drops so I figured the pellets would be good as well.

I will give it a full 3 weeks and see where I end up. I was debating whether to even do another round, but realize Iwould be happier about 10lbs lighter. Here's hoping!

I used the orange flavored alcohol free 3x Yavonae drops for my first round. I did 43 days and lost 25.5 lbs. I thought they worked really well and I was never hungry. I'm on RlP4D9 and am stabilized at my exact LDW. I've only had to do one steak day throughout the entire time and that was because of a 2 day trip with little sleep and too much food.
