HHCG Pellets vs drops... Blue or Brown bottle?

Karlasmom05 · 11-02-2011, 09:48 AM

Good morning!
Im on R2P2D3 and I decided to start this round on Meridian Pellets instead of drops. I had been reading several posts on the difference between the two and it didnt seem like much so I decided to give the pellets a whirl.

I ordered from Meridian Health Labs... the ingredients and bottle were indentical to Vox brand but were much cheaper in price than Vox.
Well I recived my pellets on Monday and to my surprise they were in a BROWN bottle and their MFG date shows 3/2011. IS is just me or does this make them a tad bit old??

Anyhow, yesterday I showed a loss of 1 lb. and today was a loss of 1.5 lb. I know that 2 1/2 lbs. is a decent loss for being only 3 days in, but I remember having much bigger losses the first time around. I lost almost 11 lbs in 7 days. Wonder what gives.

Could it be that the pellets are not as effective as the drops? Could it be that they are old? Has any one had luck with Meridian pellets?

Well if any one has any advice or would like to give me their theories on my little problem I would LOVE it!!! Have a great day ladies!!!

UPDATE!!! Don't know if any one has read my previous post...but a representative from Meridian Health labs just called me...LOL ...WOW must say that I am impressed! She clarified the issue (more like doubt) I had with the brown vs. blue bottle. Apparently the manufacturer they work with is no longer making blue, only brown now. Their website is in the process of being re-vamped to show the new brown bottle.

She also advised me that many of the name brand HCG brands (like Vox and Intermountain, etc.) buy pellets/drops through them and just re-label them. SO my mind is at TOTAl ease now! I think we should stop worrying about which brand of pellets/drops are better and more effective. (Should take my own advice, right?)

Well looks like I'll be focusing more on my actual Protocol now instead of just surfing the web for comments on people's pellet preferences!! LOL
I still would LOVE to hear how your journey is going on your HCG pellets though!!!!

I spoke with a distributor a long while ago and was told the same thing about pellets being made by two suppliers and then redistributed by a lot of companies.

I've used VOX in the blue bottle and the brown bottle. They seemed to work fine for me. I noticed that my second order dissolves faster, and there was talk that the pellet blank of my first batch was probably 'slightly imperfect' but the hhcg sprayed on the blanks was fine. The distributor I spoke with said pellets last at least two years, so I think your manufacture date of March 2011 is fine.

(The way they make pellets is, one of a number of companies makes blank pellets suitable for use for any homeopathic product, and then a supplier buys the blanks and sprays liquid hhcg on them, and then they sell the finished hhcg pellets to distributors for relabeling and retail sale.)
