HCG Side Effects

HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, is a naturally reoccurring hormone in the body in men and women, however most commonly associated with the high levels produced during pregnancy. HCG is also used for fertility treatment but in much higher doses, with the small amount taken daily on the HCG diet you should not experience any side effects, but if you do make sure that you monitor your symptoms and if they become a risk cease using the HCG or consult your doctor.

There are little side effects but there are a few to be aware of. In both men and women you may experience minor irritability, headaches, restlessness, fatigue or tenderness where injection was given. Some men have noticed slight water retention the first few days of use but not thereafter.

If you do have any major health problems or predisposition to any then consulting a doctor before beginning any form of diet is highly recommended.
