Does HHCG actually have HCG in it?

Hi Everybody,

DH and I started our drops and loading yesterday. We are using HCG Platinum x-30. I've done hcg in the past and remember using 10 drops sublingually 3x per day. These new ones are:

According to the bottle: 30 drops/one dropper full 2x per day

According to the box: 1 dropper full 2x per day before meals

According to the leaflet in the box: ¾ of a dropper full 3x per day, morning, afternoon and evening, time is not important.

That's a lot of drops to fit under your tongue! We've already started using them and we hate the taste. Here are the ingredients. No mention of hcg.


Proprietary Blend 100.00 mg
L-Arginine
Dong Quai Root
Chaste Tree Berry
L-Ornithine
Black Cohosh Root
wild yam root
Acetyl L-Carnitine
Stevia Leaf Extract

Does anyone have any experience with these drops?

Thanks.

I use pellets and have no experience with hhcg drops. But I know places like GNC sell what they call hhcg but only contain amino acids and not hcg.

My brand contains the following in the ingredient list: hCG 6x, 12x, 30x, 60x

There is no hcg in platinum hcg x-30.
The product claims to provide supplements which cause the body to mimic its response when hcg is present.

Darn it!
That was a lot of money to spend on 2 bottles and we've already started using them.

Thank you ladies.

Happy -- some people seem to do quite well on the non-hcg drops, others don't.

I'd probably give them a test run seeing as how you already spent the money.

Thanks Minimonkey. I just ordered 2 bottles of intermountain, but will use the Platinum until they arrive. I feel like I just loaded for nothing and I find that pretty scary.

6x means that you have 1 part HCG to 1,000,000 parts water/alcohol.

60x means that you have 1 part HCG to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 parts water/alcohol
