Where does hhcg come from?

I'm talking about how do they actually obtain the hcg from a body and get it into the bottle of homeopathic drops?

My guess would be through urine, but I don't really know. Let us know if you find out.

hCG comes from the urine of pregnant women. It is purified several times before actually being sold as the usable hormone, so no actual urine is present in the completed product. h-hCG manufacturers would use that hormone (which can be purchased only by presciption in the US) but in very minute amounts. I don't really understand how homeopathic meds work, but you can do an internet search to get that info.

Thanks for the info! I really couldn't find anything anywhere! I had a friend write a blog about HCG Diets as a trend, and she said hcg comes from urine, so she'd never touch the stuff - because ... ewww... gross... of course she also never had problems with being overweight and not able to lose.... anyway, knowing it's from urine but purified repeatedly kinda helps. In another sense, urine itself is natural... I remember one of the Lost Boys of Sudan mentioning how drinking their own urine was their only survival option while running across Africa. I don't think they'd have said eww... gross... we'd rather die. We shouldn't fear it the way that we so naturally do. Still, extracted and repeatedly purified... that's a little easier to digest.

As for homeopathic stuff... in general, the idea can be summed up like this: a little bit goes a long way. I'm no expert in this area, so I can't offer a lot of details as to why or how... just the basics in my head... and my shrinking body (that doesn't instantly blow up when I start eating more) kinda offers me a good proof of its effectiveness thru the hcg diet.

Yea I mean just google the term "urine therapy" and you'll see there are many people out there who use urine for a plethora of health and beauty reasons.. Don't get me wrong. You won't see me drinking my own...LOL. But you are right in that we don't need to necessarily fear it or see it as something so horribly bad.
