From this excellent post at HCG Diet Facts, the question of whether Oral hCG is a fraud has been addressed:
Does Oral hCG or Sublingual hCG work? Or is it a Fraud?
So what’s the story? Why is there conflicting info on this subject?
After having done my own research, the simple fact is that the BEST method of delivering hCG into the bloodstream for use in the hCG Diet is through injection – all other methods fall short.
This doesn’t mean a sublingual form of hCG is COMPLETELY ineffective, it means less than optimal results will be obtained.
And to clarify: You CANNOT simply swallow a liquid hCG formulation – the idea of Oral hCG is that it is placed under the tongue and absorbed into the bloodstream via the blood vessels under the tongue. Oral hCG is really a misnomer – it is REALLY Sublingual hCG.
BUT, you have to take the sublingual hCG 2x daily, instead of one injection daily.
It doesn’t work as well, and therefore there is FUD being spread that it doesn’t work at all. If taking injections is unsavory to you (as it is to most people) and you have the extra money laying around to TRY an Oral hCG formulation at the first go of the hCG Diet, it may work WELL ENOUGH for you.
If it doesn’t, then don’t give up – you were warned (you read it here) that it may not be as effective. At this point, bite the bullet and switch to hCG injections, which have been shown to be 100% effective.
