Dr. Edward Pearson answered:HCG drops are most commonly considered "homeopathic" and are not true hCG.

In my professional and medical opinion, low calorie diets should NOT be enforced without actual medical grade hCG, proper biochemical testing, and comprehensive medical guidance.
In total, drops should NOT be used alone as low calorie diets which cause starvation, catabolism, the loss of muscle and bone, and the further slowing of the metabolism and thyroid gland.
