HCG stands for human chorionic gonadrotropin which acts in small doses as a metabolic regulatory hormone and promotes weight loss without affecting lean muscle.  Patients may lose from one-half to three pounds per day. While not FDA approve, studies have shown good success.

HCG or human chorionic gonadotropin is used to promote weight loss along with a low glycemic diet and exercise program.

Self-administered daily subcutaneous injections or as a daily cream applied to the wrists, HCG can facilitate significant weight reduction by lowering hunger and enhancing well-being.  Patients on HCG are more apt to remain on a low calorie diet.

HCG Diet/Weight Loss in Houston-The Woodlands, Texas

Dr. Randy Birken, founder of Birken Medical Aesthetics of The Woodlands, Texas, now offers new weekly injections to help with weight loss:

M-I-C is a weekly injection of Choline, Methionine, Inositol, and Vitamin B12.  Choline is an amino acid used by the liver for fat emulsification while Inositol is a powerful nutrient promoting fat metabolism.  Methioinine acts as a catalyst for both Choline and Inositol while B12 aids the burning of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.

AMP(Adenosine-Mono-Phospate) is also a weekly injection that maximizes cellular energy production for fatigue.  It can be given with M-I-C weekly.

Also, Dr. Birken offers an offer use of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG):

HCG First published in 1954, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) as a weekly injection acts on the hypothalamus to moderate the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage and metabolic rate while mobilizing fat from storage and increasing circulating calories for utilization.

The main goal of HCG treatment is to suppress hunger while improving a sense of well-being so the patient can remain on a low caloric diet.  HCG for weight loss is an off-label use for this medication

In 2006, researchers published data showing an increase in adiponectin (ADP), a fat cell hormone involved in glucose and lipid metabolism.

The main limitation of HCG is the need for a daily injection, although the patient can self-administer at home.  One protocol recommends 26 daily injections for those who want to lose 15 pounds or less and 40 injections for those needing to lose more than 15 pounds.
