HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. HCG is a hormone produced by the human placenta during pregnancy. When a pregnant woman is not eating enough, HCG stimulates the release of fat from her body to provide fuel for the baby. It is believed that HCG may decrease or prevent hunger cravings and spare lean muscle. HCG also increases hormone levels in men and women which may increase metabolism.
The Anti-Aging Center at Make You Well offers the standard 26-Day HCG program or an enhanced 43-Day HCG program. These programs feature a nutrition and exercise regimen, physician-prescribed HCG, and program-enhancing injections of amino acids during the patient’s weekly monitoring visits with the doctor. Additionally, if underlying hormonal imbalances are contributing to weight gain, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy may be recommended to restore hormone balance and enhance the results of the HCG program.
