Supplements We Take

We take a few supplements during the HCG Diet. Here is what we take and why.

LENA

Rainbow Light Prenatal: I want to continue to build my reserve of nutrients throughout the next couple of months. I believe that everyone benefits from a high quality multi vitamin. This certain vitamin is considered safe for someone who follows the Vegan diet/lifestyle. This would make it safe for the HCG Diet as well because it does not have any calories and is all plant based.

Calcium with Vitamin D and Magnesium: I have to take a calcium supplement because I have a genetic condition that causes my bones to be more weak then normal. Again, this should not be a problem for the HCG diet. (That is my opinion.)

Vitamin B Complex: Vitamin B's are considered a water soluble vitamin. This means that they are not stored in the body fat. Because most of the nutrients that you receive while on the HCG diet stem from that of the vitamins released from the fat, it makes sense that a person will benefit from supplementing vitamin B (I recommend a sublingual complex) while following the HCG diet.

Chlorophyll: A lot is stored in a person's body fat. Everything from vitamins, to hormones, to toxins. Because this is true, I have decided to take something that will gather those toxins that will be released into the body and blood when the fat cells are stirred up during the HCG Diet. Chlorophyll will do just that. It is like a magnet for the metals and toxins (free radicals) in the body. It will gather them up and be eliminated. Chlorophyll can be mixed with water and has a very subtle taste (almost like an herbal tea) and it only has about five calories in a full days serving.

Potassium: This will help avoid muscle cramps that often happen when a person doesn't eat enough potassium. The HCG Diet doesn't afford a lot of potassium rich foods.
