As part of their 30-year commitment to providing innovative compounded medications, industry-leading compounding pharmacy, Restore Health Pharmacy, introduced a new 500 IU Sublingual HCG tablet this week. The tablet, intended for use following the same dosing regimen as injectable HCG, is convenient, pleasantly orange-flavored, and dissolves under the tongue in less than one minute.
“Sublingual HCG is an excellent option for patients with an aversion to needles,” said Restore Health pharmacist Judy Rapp. “It is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the buccal mucosa, avoiding first pass metabolism through the G.I. tract and liver.”
HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a hormone produced in pregnancy. It’s role is to prevent the disintegration of the corpus luteum and thereby maintain progesterone production that is critical for pregnancy. HCG may have additional functions; for example, in males, HCG is believe to restore and maintain testosterone production in the testes by mimicking LH and triggering the production and release of testosterone.
The HCG hormone is also used in a popular weight loss program, first described by Dr. A.T. Simeons in a study published in the British journal Lancet in 1954.
HCG is available only with a prescription from a licensed heath care provider. Patients who wish to learn more about HCG or the popular HCG diet should contact their physician.

Rehabmart.com, an online e-commerce company that sells rehabilitation and medical supplies, has joined in collaboration with Prime Engineering, Incorporated, to offer standing systems for people with physical and/or aging related disabilities to a larger consumer market. Headquartered in Fresno, California, Prime Engineering began in 1984 from one woman’s quest to find a standing solution for her own personal needs as a spinal cord injury patient with severe contractures. With much research, medical advice and expert input, Mary Wilson Boegel, President of Prime Engineering, along with her new company produced their first standing device, the Granstand, and this unit was the accepted clinical standard for over ten years. They have since updated this model with new versions, the Granstand II and Granstand III, which have set new standards for function, positioning and capability. Prime Engineering has always relied on input from doctors, therapists and end-users to create innovative lines of personal and clinical standing devices that are the most advanced in the market, and their primary motivation has continued to be to provide proper, safe standing solutions for people with physical and aging related disabilities.
One wonderful safety feature of their standing solutions is the ‘No Transfer – No Lift’ technology, along with advanced adjustability and multifunctional frames. When people cannot stand on their own for various reasons, such as aging, disease, injury or weakness, that lack of daily standing can negatively impact posture, cardiovascular function, bowel and bladder function, renal function, range of motion, spasticity, bone density and emotional health. Lack of standing correctly typically shows up as increased spasticity, loss of range in the lower extremities, hips, back and neck, and contractures. The advanced adjustability feature of the standing solution products from Prime Engineering helps tremendously to accomplish the goal of proper standing and weight bearing facilitation by enabling complete hip extension or mild hyperextension of the hips to fully load the lower extremities and allow the obliteration of contractures. These standing solution products supply the maximum benefits of proper standing, durability, function, safety and complete individual adjustments for an intimate and proper fitting unit.
Prime Engineering has expanded their line of standing systems to accommodate the therapeutic standing needs of both adult and pediatric clients. Their vision has always been that there is an art to standing and that this art is a balance between the focus on the individual and their unique needs and lifestyles, and the fit and function of the equipment that they manufacture. “We are proud to offer these excellent standing solutions from Prime Engineering to more consumers,” said Hulet Smith, Founder and CEO of Rehabmart. “Their products have been copied for concept, but never duplicated for function, and we know our customers will be very happy and satisfied with these lift-free and transfer-free standing systems to fulfill their own correct standing needs.”

Bel Marra Health Doctor predicts 2012 to be the year of African Mango – the hottest natural weight loss phenomenon,
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) February 17, 2012
Bel Marra Health, offering high-quality vitamins and nutritional supplements, is lending its support to a weight loss clinical study of African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) that shows significant improvements to body weight and body fat in obese or overweight individuals.
Dr. Alwyn Wong, expert in nutrition and natural health care, declares African Mango as a weight loss ingredient has reached a crescendo of demand and success and predicts African Mango, also known as Irvingia gabonensis, will be the fastest growing weight loss phenomenon in 2012. In a recent statement Dr. Wong reaffirms “Supplements claiming to help people lose weight are nothing new in this day and age. Diets and quick weight loss fads come and go. But, African Mango has immerged and 2012 looks to be its breakout year. Unlike previous weight loss supplements African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) has strong human clinical research demonstrating its amazing weight loss potential.”
In a 10 week double-blind placebo-controlled study, 102 overweight or obese individuals received either a placebo or 150 mg of African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) extract twice daily. After 10 weeks, the group taking the African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) extract saw a weight lossof, on average, 28 lbs of body fat, compared to only 1.5 lbs of body fat for those taking the placebo. “These weight loss results from individuals taking African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) are nothing short of incredible,” said Dr. Alwyn Wong, author of “The 4 Week Fat Loss Challenge” and Scientific Advisor and Lead Researcher behind Real African Mango Weight Loss.
Unlike other weight loss supplements African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) extract does not rely on stimulants or harsh laxatives. African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) is truly a natural weight loss supplement. The research studies found changes in metabolic factors which play a significant role in weight gain. One of these metabolic factors is leptin. In individuals where obesity was an issue leptin was significantly higher due to leptin resistance, making weight loss a challenge. In lean individuals, leptin acts as a signal to reduce appetite. But, in cases of obesity, individuals have a resistance to leptin, and the levels of leptin in their system reach incredibly high levels without reducing their hunger. African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) managed to reduce the leptin levels by 49%, combating leptin resistance, thus reducing appetite and improving the ability to lose weight. “African Mango is the secret weapon for helping people grow slim and trim,” said Dr. Alwyn Wong.
When African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) is combined with proper diet and exercise, natural weight loss goals become easier to attain. There is no magic bullet to weight loss, but African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) provides the boost that many need to lose weight naturally.
Dr. Wong warns “not all African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) supplements are created equal, and unfortunately there are many products in the market that use uncertified or non-clinically tested material.” In a January release, ConsumerLabs.com who independently reviews and tests vitamins and supplements issued a report on African Mango products. ConsumerLab.com points out that a variety of African Mango extracts are currently sold, including many from suppliers not even from Africa but African Mango sourced in China. To get the certified natural ingredient used in the clinical research, make sure to find a product containing the patented African Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) extract.
