Can HCG Drops Taste Like Mold After Long Use?
I have been using the HCG drops which had no taste at all. I am down 1/2 bottle and the drops taste like mold. The seller said it is not possible for mold to grow in the drops, it is just the minerals I am tasting. Have you heard anything like this before?

Dear Friend,
There are virtually no regulations in place when it comes to using products not obtained from a pharmacy. If this product tasted fine and now you taste mold would not common sense say that something might be very wrong here? Does the supplier just not want to take a return and refund (these products are generally pricey)? So while I do not know where you have obtained these drops, my guess is they have been contaminated. I myself would no longer use the product based on your report. Have a Healthy Day, Kathryn Shattler,MS,RDN, Nutritionist
