Supplements While on HCG

I see a lot of questions being asked about what types of supplements everyone takes. There are alot of trains of thought on them. My physician told me to continue to take whatever supplements that I was taking prior to the onset of the diet.

Here is what I take every day (along with my prescribed medications)

Metformin (for diabetes, I will add that my dosage has been cut in half since I began HCG and my A1C is almost within a nondiabetic range. I am hoping to be taken off the medication permanently)

Synthroid (for my hypothyroidism)

Ristoril (this is an Rx slep aid an taken only as needed)

HCG injections

Multivitamin

Biotin (for hair and skin)

CLA-A supplement that has been promoted as an aid to weight loss and muscle building and as a deterrent to heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Protein Shake-protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals

L-Caritine-L-carnitine allows the body to burn more fat, save more glycogen, and ultimately boost stamina and endurance. By providing more fat to the muscles, carnitine makes accessible an otherwise unavailable energy source.

Probiotics_for stomach and intestinal health as well as antioxidant values

Fish Oil -  acts to lower the levels of cholesterol and LDL (low-density lipoproteins) in the blood

Glucose control otherwise known as chromium- help the body process carbohydrates and fats.

Glutamine-for muscle sparing
