BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Thyroid Health HCG Drops for losing weight?

Anyone heard of these drops? There are a couple of ladies at work who are using these and have lost weight. However, I didn't know if there would be any reason a person with a hypothyroid should not use these?

Any infor would be great.

I can't advise one way or the other on the decision to use them, but there is some scientific evidence that HCG in general (I mean the stuff your body produces when you're pregnant) stimulates thyroid function. That could be the reason people lose weight with these products, but there's not a lot of credible research on using the drops to lose weight. Not saying it doesn't work, only that the research is lacking to prove it definitively.
