Dietary Supplements for Weight Loss

Dietary Supplements for Weight Loss

  • Green tea
  • White kidney bean
  • Ephedra
  • Yerba mate
  • Licorice root
  • Garcinia cambogia
  • Mangosteen
  • East Indian globe thistle

These are all dietary supplements that claim that they are able to aid for weight loss, however, apparently, they do not have enough evidence to support this claim.

Most of these are just soluble fibers and complex sugar products that manufacturers will claim to promote feelings of fullness or block fat absorption.

Regulatory Loopholes

These herbal and dietary supplements are generally safe to be consumed, but it doesn't mean that they're effective.

Supplement-makers can make claims about weight loss as long as they include a disclaimer that the statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.

Unlike pharmaceutical drugs that require rigorous testing and clinical evidence to demonstrate their safety and effectiveness, dietary supplements are not required to prove they work.

Scant Evidence Not Limited to Weight Loss Supplements

When you go to visit the supplement aisle, you'll visit the market's see tons of products geared towards athletic performance improvement, sleep, hormone regulation, immune health, and more.

To ensure that these supplements live up to their claims you must:

  1. Look on the label for independent testing; and
  2. Be cautious of big promises such as: "proven effective", or "pharmaceutical strength"

Supplements may be helpful to some, but they can come with drawbacks and may not have substantial evidence.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
