HCG Hair Loss Question

HCG – Hairloss ?? My Experience – and it is a GOOD one! !

Question – what do you know about the potential risk of hair loss on HCG and how it is related to taking vitamins/supplements?


My Answer – I experienced the opposite with HCG in regards to hair loss. Before I knew about HCG I did a long fast and hair loss I started to experience got really scary. When I got on HCG the loss stopped. I figured it would be similar to when I was pregnant and I might need to be prepared for some loss once I was done with hcg.I’m very happy to report that didn’t happen.As far as supplements I have taken supplements for hair the entire time along with extra biotin. I encourage anyone who is starting HCG to also take MSM (preferably the liquid form) I wish I had taken it from day one. Because we release the fat rapidly on this protocol the MSM helps our skin tighten. Now back to the hair,someone in the past commented to me that she thinks the loss my also depend on if menopause is also part of the mix. I’m not at that point in my life so I have no idea. One last thing I want to mention is the types of HCG that are out there. Since so many new “types” have sprung up recently my only other concern is the same as Dr S had in Pounds and Inches. If you are doing the 500 VLCD and not taking HCG (the real deal) you will be starving yourself. I’m sure if you starve yourself there will be hair loss.Not having hunger isn’t the only thing real HCG is doing. Burning the abnormal fat for energy is what makes the protocol so wonderful.

L-Glutamine – Help for Cravings

L-Glutamine for Weight Loss

A fellow HCGer who was starting a new round mention the the first few days are difficult because of cravings.
For some including me it takes a few days for the hcg level to kick in so hunger and cravings aren’t an issue.

Back when I started my first round someone posted that L-Glutamine helps with cravings, especially sugar cravings.

Simply pour the contents of L-Glutamine capsule under your tongue 😉

Benefits of L Glutamine
L Glutamine Facts
L- Glutamine Benefits

Before discussing the benefits of l glutamine, which are substantial, we would like to just highlight a few l glutamine facts.

Glutamine is an amino acid (building blocks of protein) found in the muscles of the body. In fact, it is the most abundant free amino acid.

Technically, glutamine is classified as a semi-essential amino acid, which means that under normal circumstances the body can manufacture it on its own to meet the physiological demands.

However, there are times that glutamine becomes an essential amino acid due to metabolic stress situations like trauma (including surgical trauma), cancer, burns, and sepsis. Under such conditions, it is important that there is an adequate intake of glutamine to meet the increased demand created by these situations.

With that being said, let’s move to more l glutamine facts and L- glutamine benefits.

L Glutamine Facts: Health Benefits of L Glutamine

General Info

# Serves as a source of fuel for cells lining the intestines
# It’s involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid.
# Some experts point out that glutamine can pass through the protective blood-brain barrier and, because of this, it is known as brain fuel.
# Aids in protecting the body from ammonia toxicity.
# Appears to be necessary for normal brain function.
# Essential for maintaining amino acid balance in the body during times of severe stress.
# It’s used by white blood cells and contributes to normal immune-system function.

L Glutamine Facts: Health Benefits of L Glutamine

General Health Benefits

# Promotes the maintenance of a healthy digestive tract.
# May promote mental alertness and improve mood and memory.
# May boost immune function and fight infection.
# May decrease sugar cravings and the desire for alcohol.
# Helps to prevent the kind of muscle loss (wasting) that can accompany prolonged bed rest or illnesses such as cancer and AIDS who may be incapable of manufacturing their own supply of glutamine. Side Note: It’s important to note that stress an injury (including surgical trauma) cause the muscles to release glutamine into the bloodstream. In fact, some experts state that during the time of stress as much as one third of glutamine present in the muscles may be released. As a result, stress and/or illness can lead to the loss of skeletal muscle if not enough glutamine is available. Therefore, one of the benefits of L glutamine is to ensure enough of it is available in the body to help prevent muscle loss (wasting).

The Role of L Glutamine Supplements

L glutamine as a supplement may be helpful for the following:

# Gastro-intestinal disorders
# Depression
# Irritability
# Withdrawal support for alcoholics
# Protection of liver tissue against damage from cancer chemotherapy and drugs such as acetaminophen (Tylenol)
# Prevent the kind of muscle loss (wasting) that can accompany prolonged bed rest or illnesses such as cancer and AIDS
# Athletes (may help protect the immune system from overtraining stress)

Glutamine Food Sources

Glutamine-rich foods include: beef, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, raw parsley, raw spinach as well as soybeans and other legumes.

Are there any side effects and precautions?

The Benefits of L Glutamine

Glutamine supplement is considered safe when used in accordance with proper dosing guidelines. At the time of this writing, the most commonly experienced side effects while taking glutamine include: constipation and bloating.

However, anyone with cirrhosis of the liver, kidney conditions, Reye’s syndrome, or any type of disorder that can result in an accumulation of ammonia in the blood are advised to avoid supplemental glutamine.

In addition, because of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications it is crucial that you always speak to a knowledgeable healthcare provider before taking any dietary supplements, including glutamine. This advice is also recommended for anyone suffering from a health condition.

Pregnant and nursing women should only take an amino acid such as glutamine after consulting your physician.

Before HCG I did the Master Cleanse

Originally aired on youtube January 26th, 2010 when I was new to HCG
Master Cleanse

Before I knew about HCG I was was having several health issues along with my excess weight. My brother recommended that I do the Master Cleanse because he and his girlfriend had not only lost weight but had experienced great health benefits as well. Allergy issues etc. had improved immensely for his girlfriend.

So I decided to do the cleanse the same time they did so I would have a support system while going through it. I liked the benefits and improved health I experienced.
Please don’t do this cleanse with HCG. The maple syrup is not on protocol.
