Deficiencies in Human Growth Hormone (HGH) can make it difficult to lose weight as we age. There have been recent developements in the ability to providing HGH.  15 years ago the HGH would average 1500.00 per month.  However it is now available and marketed as  The SecretroinRx which  is a secretogouge that you spray at night under your tongue. The cost is $150 per month. You must  have quarterly lab tests and visits along with yearly physicals.

“Human Chorionic Gonadotropin HCG is used in the very hard to treat weight loss patients. It requires a very strict 500 cal. diet per day. HCG helps to control the distribution of fat. It mobilzes abnormal fat and makes the fat a source of energy and nutrients. HCG lessens hunger and loss of muscle and normal fat. Patients can lose up to one pound per day. One pound of fat contains 350 calories thus some calories are provided internally. Lab tests and visits are monthly until stable. Patients also need yearly physicals. I use the HCG sublingual drops instead of daily injections, since very few people like to do the daily injections. The HCG costs $300 per month. Visits and testing are priced separately.
