Can you take probiotics while on the hcg diet?

Answer 1

Yes, you can take vitamins on the HCG Diet, but it's not necessary. What you need to look out for in vitamins is any ingredient that is a form of sugar, including what is used to bind and coat the pills. Often, a form of sugar is used on coated tablets or those big horse pill vitamins. Capsules tend to be the safest form if you're trying to avoid "harmful" coating. You can also look for liquid vitamins that are sweetened with Stevia, such as NOW brand B complex.

Most people find they don't need extra vitamins on the HCG protocol because of the abundance of protein, veggies, and fruit they're getting every day - they get it naturally. The most often requested vitamin is a B complex containing B12 to help with energy.

Answer 2

Yes you can take probiotics while on HCG. Probiotics promote a healthy and balanced digestive system which helps your body efficiently digest food and move waste. Not all HCG doctors will recommend probiotics but most would admit that constipation is a very common side affect of the HCG diet and prescribe or recommend different remedies to counteract the unfortunate side affect.

Many HCG dieters use probiotics with the program and most consumers agree that anything that aids in the process of establishing or maintaining healthy and efficient digestion and bowel movements during a diet is a positive thing.
