HCG is injected only ONCE a day, typically in the morning. Usually, it can take you about a minute or two and finally you’re done! However, the BIG question is “How much should you inject?”
According to the original protocol of Dr. Simeon, the minimum daily dose that you can inject is 125 i.u to 175 iu. The maximum daily dose is 200i.u. If you are still feeling hungry on the lower dose, you might want to talk with your health care professional so you can adjust your dose to offset your hunger. Men can have higher doses due to how much they eat while menopausal women, their dose can drop as low as 75 iu.
Getting familiar with the syringe
The HCG kit comes with insulin needles and syringes. The most common syringe sizes that come with the HCG kit are 30 units or .3cc/ml, 50 units or .5cc/ml and 100 units or 1cc/ml. The needles are so tiny usually 5/16” or ½” inch long. This makes the needle slide into your skin and fat painlessly and very easily.
