HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone produced during pregnancy which, many years ago was studied as a possible weight loss supplement. The results in most of the studies were not promising. Study results did not show conclusive evidence that it reduced hunger pangs or that it reduced discomfort of following low calorie diets. It also did not conclusively show that it assisted in a more even distribution of fat around the body. It would seem that the HCG diet did no more in fat reduction than the placebo of the control group.
Today’s use of HCG is primarily for treatment of fertility issues.
