This may come from harmful substances added to the product as ingredients.

How well does HCG Complex fare in all this? Does it have the killer effectiveness the makers claim to eliminate fat quickly, effectively, and safely? By the end of this review, you will know if you should try this product or not.

History

HCG Complex is produced and sold by BioSource Labs LLC. The company, which got started in 2016, has built a name over the years, making various products in the health and fitness niche. Some of its products have become global brands with a strong reception among customers worldwide.HCG Complex is just one of the company’s numerous offerings. Like the others, it is formulated as an organic dietary supplement. It is wholly of a natural origin as it comes mostly from Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone.

How HCG Complex got started

The first HCG dietary formulation by British doctor A.T.W. Simeons in the early 1950s is what inspired the creation of the HCG Complex. But what exactly is HGH? HGH, which stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a human hormone found in both men and women.

Dr. Simeons, who was an endocrinologist, did a curious groundbreaking experiment in his time. Human mothers produce HCG to help in breaking down fats, which provide nourishment for the fetus. Dr. Simeons got some HCG out of pregnant women and put it in teenage boys. He wanted to see if this could induce the production of testosterone in boys who had low testosterone levels.

The experiment took an unexpected turn so that Dr. Simeons got more than he bargained for. It was a double hit in that there was a massive testosterone boost, but there was also a dramatic weight cut. This got the doctor thinking that HGC could have an application in reducing weight in obese people.

Based on this finding and follow up research, various HCG products with varying refinements have come on the market over the years. HCG Complex is just one version of this, but how effective is it, and is it worth anybody’s time or money?

Let’s have a look at some of the ingredients and their functions.

• L-Arginine – NCBI states that this amino acid plays a significant role in energy production by elevating metabolism This helps to burn fat and trim down the weight to an ideal level.
• L-Carnitine – This is another amino acid that is involved in energy production. It limits weight by driving fatty acids chains into the mitochondria where they are burned or oxidized. The evidence linking this amino acid to weight loss, however, is not as solid as L-Arginine.
• L-Lysine – this amino acid is the ingredient behind the suppression of your appetite, making you crave less food and keep down weight. It also helps energize you and keep you going against fatigue.
• Glutamic Acid – this ingredient has also been linked to substantial weight cuts. This was observed in one study where some women achieved this feat despite no exercise or diet The weight cuts were attained in just four weeks of using glutamic acid

Dosage and administration

What is the dosage of HCG Complex? HCG Complex is available as a liquid and is administered orally as drops. So, it should be stored in a continuous fresh condition, preferably under refrigeration.

The drops should be taken with an empty stomach, so you are advised that before taking the drops, allow a period of 15 to 30 minutes in which you drink or eat nothing. Intake involves applying the drops under your tongue and allowing them to dissolve after some waiting.

There are four successive stages involved in taking the drops.

• Stage 1 – This is the Binge Days. The drops are taken 3 times a day, each coming before the main meals of the day, i.e., breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ten drops are applied each time, and they should be held under the tongue for 2 minutes. On the first day, one can consume plenty of fats to build up energy storage which will come handy in the coming days
• Stage 2 – Low-Calorie Diet. This kicks off on day 3, with a person going for a low-calorie diet. Foods with high sugar content or fat content are avoided. Starches and carbs are also excluded. The use of the HCG drops is continued
• Stage 3: Stabilization. As soon as you discontinue the drops, this stage is initiated. Calorie intake is resumed but gradually by slowly increasing it.
• Stage 4 – Maintenance

This marks the end of the diet  program

Conclusion

HCG Complex is a weight-loss dietary supplement that carries a lot of weight because it is

packed with 25 ingredients. But does this heavyweight status carry over to helping you shed weight? Given that this product is not cheap, you don’t want to take the leap unless it makes a very compelling case for itself.

The 25 ingredients that HGC carries come highly recommended in their individual capacities.

However, I was concerned that a few of these ingredients are not clinically proven to produce weight loss.

Moreover, customer feedback does not paint a rosy picture. Several of the customer reviews complain about the side effects of the product. This is supported by warnings from the FDA about HCG Diets and their detrimental effects on health, especially when used for a long time. It is in line with this that I do not consider this product as worth trying, especially when we have cheaper and safer alternatives in the market.
