Health Benefits Obviously, shedding extra pounds will help improve the overall health of a person on the hCG weight loss program. Researchers also believe that taking hCG helps to normalize the cholesterol levels of those on the program. In addition, the hormone appears to help normalize the thyroid gland and balance the hormones while rebuilding the adrenaline glands. People on the hCG program also routinely report experiencing less irritability and generally feel like there in a better mood. This lift in spirits seems to continue throughout the entire treatment period. Patients also report having more restful sleep, which may be partially responsible for the improved mood. Similarly, patients report feeling more energized while undergoing the therapy. This may be attributed to the improvement in sleep, the loss of excess weight, and the positive impact hCG has on the adrenaline glands. For many, just the weight loss benefits of hCG would be enough to make this hormone worth taking.
