A medically supervised weight loss program designed to help you target fat while supporting your overall wellness.
Our Pregnyl hCG Injections Program combines physician oversight with a customized nutrition plan to help you reach your weight loss goals. Using human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in conjunction with a calorie‑controlled diet, this program aims to encourage fat loss, preserve lean muscle mass, and support metabolic health.
What is Pregnyl hCG?
Pregnyl hCG is a prescription form of human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy. When prescribed for weight loss, it is considered an off‑label use and is only administered under medical supervision. In a weight management program, hCG works alongside dietary changes to:
-
Mobilize stored fat as a source of energy
-
Help reduce hunger and food cravings
-
Support a more efficient metabolism

Frequently Asked Questions about hCG Program
1. What is hCG and why is it used for weight management?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a naturally occurring hormone best known for its role in fertility and reproductive health. In a medically supervised weight loss program, small doses are used alongside a reduced-calorie diet to help the body preserve lean muscle while mobilizing stored fat for energy.
2. Who is an ideal candidate for the hCG program?
This program is most often suited for adults with a higher BMI who are looking to lose a meaningful amount of weight under medical supervision. It may not be appropriate for pregnant women or individuals with certain health conditions. A provider consultation is always required to confirm eligibility.
3. How are the injections given at home?
hCG is delivered by a small subcutaneous injection (under the skin). Your kit arrives with syringes, alcohol pads, and step-by-step instructions, so you can safely administer the program from home.
4. What challenges or side effects should I expect, and how does hCG help manage them?
Because the diet portion of the program is low in calories, some people notice fatigue, hunger, or mild headaches in the beginning. hCG is thought to reduce the body’s tendency to burn muscle tissue during calorie restriction, making the transition smoother. Side effects vary, and your provider will review them with you before you begin.
5. Is the hCG program safe, and why has it been debated?
hCG for weight loss is considered an “off-label” use in the U.S., which is why opinions about it differ. Some experts question its role in fat loss, while others focus on its ability to help preserve lean tissue and metabolism during low-calorie diets. For safety, all patients undergo medical screening and supervision before starting.
6. How much weight do people usually lose on the program?
Results vary, but patients who follow the structured plan with light daily activity often report average losses of 0.5–2 pounds per day during the active phase.
7. What lifestyle habits make the program more effective?
Moderate daily activity, like a brisk 25–30 minute walk, tends to pair well with the program. Staying hydrated (8–10 glasses of water), limiting alcohol, and taking recommended supplements (such as potassium and B-complex vitamins) can also make a big difference in results.
8. How do I maintain results once the program ends?
The key is to transition to a balanced, sustainable routine: lean protein, vegetables, whole grains, and mindful portion sizes. Your provider may also give guidance for calorie targets or maintenance supplements. The goal is to reset metabolism, not just create temporary weight loss.
