Lipo B injections and tablets - Composed of three amino acids: Choline, Methionine, and Inositol, as well as several key vitamins. These help the liver process fats at peak efficiency and deter fat storage. This product is a great additive to a healthy and balanced diet and regular exercise.

LIPO BC TABLETS – Contains B-complex, choline, inositol, & biotin. These powerful ingredients act by increasing the metabolism to burn fat, and by aiding in removing & transporting fat out of the body.

HCG Programs – A medically supervised program that uses a more aggressive calorie restriction, supported by a natural hormone (HCG), that allows men and women to shed fat more rapidly while maintaining lean muscle mass. We offer a 40-day program.

What is HCG?

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone naturally produced in large quantities during pregnancy. When used for weight loss, it targets excess body fat, while helping to preserve lean muscle mass and the basal metabolic rate. Dr. ATW Simeons found that small regular doses of HCG caused the body to release abnormal fat when used in conjunction with a specific 500 calorie daily diet. This is detailed in Dr. Simeon’s manuscript Pounds and Inches: A New Approach to Obesity.

The HCG protocol – consists of a restricted-calorie diet of 500-700 calories per day, along with daily injections of HCG. The body, in turn, uses excess fat stores for its energy source. Dieters are not typically hungry even though the amount of food they are eating is small. They are put in a ketosis state, made popular by the Atkins diet.
