Dr. Emma’s HCG Program: MD Weight Loss & Beyond Dr. Emma’s HCG Program combines a customized low calorie diet with specific medical dosing of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). HCG is a hormone that can only be prescribed by a medical doctor, and administered through injection. Only HCG injections have been shown to raise HCG levels in blood, making injection the only acceptable way of taking HCG at this time. Other means of taking HCG (drops, pills, or sprays) are likely to dissolve before ever reaching the blood stream, and therefore are ineffective in raising HCG levels in the body. HCG is a protein hormone that acts as a precursor in the body to produce hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones. The act of stimulating these hormones, in very low levels, appears to help the body sustain lean body mass while dieting, as well as help with suppressing appetite.
