Shots or oral supplements

What works best...
hCG Shots or oral hCG?

I was told by a physician that the oral hCG doesn't work very well. She said that the oral hCG molocules are too large to be absorbed as effectively.

Just think, the oral hCG has to be injested and then broken down in the stomach before it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. The injectable type goes directly into the skin and takes less time to be absorbed into the blood stream. I am not a medical professional, but the fact that the injections would work better sounds very logical to me.

You may want to ask your own physician in order to be sure.

I haven't tried the shots but am using the sublingual HCG. I lost 20 pounds in the first month and just started my second.

Depends. Oral as in pills or oral as in sublingual? There are people doing sublingual that are losing just as well as people on shots. You just have to mix a higher dose meaning you will need to purchase twice as much HCG and you have to hold it under your tongue twice daily.

It just depends on what you prefer. Personally, I prefer subcutaneous shots. They are relatively painless and quick. Sublingual you have to hold under your tongue for a while and you can't brush your teeth for at least 15 mins before and after each time. I just think shots are easier and more convienient for me. Results are about the same.

I would stay away from the pills though. I've heard once they reach the stomach the acid kills off most of the HCG.
