Question : I need to lose weight and thinking of trying the HCG diet. I need to know which drops to buy

Brief Answer:
It is considered dangerous.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The HCG diet uses a combination of HCG and starvation-level calorie intake to achieve dramatic weight loss. FDA has called it dangerous, illegal and fraudulent and so please decide whether you want to go for it. There are issues with how effective it is. Please go through:

Let me know if you still want to go with it and I will guide you accordingly.
