Probably can get then kit locally at cheap price.
hCG has no proven efficacy in weight loss, and 'homoepathic hCG' has recently been banned by the FDA. If any effects at all, they are due to caloric restriction and/or exercise. Of course, handing over a wad of cash has an amazing motivational effect, hence your "friend's" weight loss. I doubt handing over a smaller sum will be similarly motivating. Since there are no actual active ingredients, the one plus is that one doesn't need to worry abot chinese counterfeits!
