amino acids or not?

I'm getting ready to purchase my 2nd bottle of drops.
The ones i bought were TOO expensive. I am finding them with both amino acids and without. Does anyone have a preference? And has anyone had success using Natural Labs brand?

I used Natural Labs for my last round and they worked just fine. I have also used ones with aminos added and liked them very much. I didn't use them for subsequent rounds because I was trying to pinch pennies!

Oh, and I just mentioned this in another thread too...when I used the Mediral Weight loss formula it had the added aminos. I liked them very much and would have gotten them again but they were very pricy. The price actually went up in the time I ordered my first bottle to when I needed the second. Others who have tried them didn't like the way they felt with them. Some were downright grouchy and moody when on them!! So not everyone does well with the added aminos. I thought I needed them since I had hormonal issues and benefited from adding them in.

Thanks! This is the only kind i've tried, and I have been happy with them. Thanks so much! I was just wondering if the aminos helped with hunger or increased weight loss.

I see you ran over your drops with the van!! LOL. And to think I was afraid I would drop them!!! A very good reason to always have a back up bottle!! Where did your DH get your new drops so fast??? I saw them in my local vitamin store, but they were uber expensive!!!! Your DH is so sweet---mine would have done the same thing. He saw one day where I left my hcg at home and he called to see if I needed them. Our guys are so great--or is it that they want us to be slim and sexy????!!!! LOL. Did you go ahead and order another bottle anyway???

He got them at a health store but wouldn't tell me how much they were....I'm sure they were SUPER expensive.
I am going to go ahead and order some drops for a back up (as long as I am not backing out of the driveway!)lol

Hey when they always bring up talk around here that hcg will be banned I get a little antsy and worried that I won't be able to get it when I want it!! I feel much more safe knowing that it is close by. Paranoid, no??

Haven't started my Round 1 yet, but I don't see the sense in paying a high price for hcg drops containing amino acids. Braggs Aminos contains amino acids and is used in so many hgc recipes. Wouldn't that be enough?

Hmmm....I think I paid too much for my first round. I paid for a 45 day supply ($135-ish) but only squeaked 35 days out of it. I was hungry the whole time. Not sure...but probably just me??? They had alcohol in them. I stalled four times...and NEVER cheated. NEVER. Rubber gloves...the products...the whole nine yards. I lost 28 pounds...so a good round. On the last stall, the advisor told me to up my drops from 6- 6x a day to 6- 9x a day. This broke my stall and was the only time I wasn't hungry. This happened to be my last three days. I am wondering if there is a cheaper option...one that works...one that I may not be hungry on....??? Is this out there??? I'm scared to switch. But dang, I don't want to give up that much money again.

I would go nuts dosing 9x a day! I have a hard enough time not drinking 20 min before and after 3x a day.

I agree too much money!! I paid less than $100 for enough for 3 rounds to get me to goal. And there were cheaper options out there when I bought my drops The ones I did for my first round were great--Mediral Weight Loss formula. I loved them. But others who tried them (I know debkeversole tried them and this happened to her) found they were grouchy while taking them. I found a cheaper brand for the next round and didn't do so well. I don't really know what to tell you, but I know I would not pay what you did for one round. Good luck and happy shopping around.

I can't do cranky...lol...I am already cranky enough. I read someone here recently started some drops (cheaper ones) and they didn't work for her...so she had to reorder another kind. Maybe Chouter? Can't find the thread. I want to avoid NON-working drops...lol. Yes. That would be optimum, to avoid non-working ones. People seem to like the Natural Health brand, no?

Yes, that was me. I stopped those cheapies mid-round and waited on new ones. I read somewhere that certain drops work for some people but not for others. I think you just have to find the ones that work for you. I am way overpaying for mine, but I don't care. They seem to work, and I've had two other kinds that didn't. I only have so many P2 rounds in me, and I can't be wasting time with drops that don't help me. Natural Health is one that didn't work for me, but they might be just fine for you. I kinda believe you get what you pay for, and that's probably not the most economical way to look at it.

And the Natural Health worked just fine for me!! It really is individual. I loved the Mediral weight loss formula but others have not liked them. If they were not so pricy I would have stuck with them. I wanted cheap and thank goodness I did well with them!!

Thanks for the info, Chouter! I read so much on here..and then can't remember where!! I am not sure what to do about the drops. I know that the kind I bought WORK okay for me, as I did lose 28 pounds. But I really am not sure about paying that big of a price tag again. But nothing costs as much as wasting the money, even if the initial outlay is less. Chouter are your drops that you are using now comparable in price to mine? Or is $135 way off? I haven't checked around too much. If you haven't picked up on it so far...I am a nervous, worry-type of girl...lol...checking=obsessing.
