Any woman wishing to lose weight, and who likes to try the recipes of Greek would be happy to learn of a drug that promises a loss of 2 pounds (a kilo) per day – and not be still hungry, tiredheadachy, bad tempered, or listless. Sounds like a miracle substance, but miracles do not happen in real life. The Federal Drug Administration in the United States researched different diet medications containing human chorionic gonadotropin (HGC) which are marketed as homeopathic drops, spray or pellets. These preparations are widely advertised and sold on the internet; but they are also available at pharmacies, drugstores and general food stores. These so-called medicines should be used while the dieter is a very restrictive diet of just 500 calories.
In its findings, the FDA reported that these medicines are fraudulent and illegal. The use of HCG in weight loss programs has been around for the last 60 years but, until recently, that the substance was injected by a physician. The sudden increase in new forms of delivery (drops, sprays and pellets) sold over the counter without a prescription and led the FDA to undertake research.
The results of the research study shows that these drugs do not in any way accelerate the weight loss and which claimed the actual weight loss diet is because of very limited of 500 calories. This was proved by the study group took placebo and the same diet-both groups lost an equal amount of weight. Although HGC cannot be hazardous to your health, and because it does not work as advertised, the claims made were found to be "fraud".
The FDA has also discovered that even if these drugs were labelled as homeopathic, Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia recognizes them and, as such, have been found to be not approved and therefore illegal.
