I'm curious because I know that hCG has been used before in certain PCT programs. Also to the best of my knowledge HCG was only available by Rx and injectable. Personally I have no experience with HCG. My goals are not weight management, but people often ask me about it and this is new to me. Do you think this is another gimic or worth looking into?

Yes, this is a homeopathic mode where the concentration is so minute that it has little scientific validity.
And as I fend off the boos from my homeopathic friends...their mere suggestion that this may have any benefit with a pulsatile secretory pattern is mildly ludicrous from a hormonal standpoint.
Ummmm....yeah, "relative" gimmick. Likely placebo to even those that suggest its worth however, so I can only offer it the relative tag considering.
