The truth about Weight-loss supplements

The truth about Weight-loss supplements

11 Jul 2024 by Ted Escobedo   2 min read

There are many over-the-counter diet products, including herbal remedies but many physicians believe that these products do not work and some can even be dangerous. Nearly all over-the-counter supplements with claims of weight-loss properties contain some combination of these ingredients:
African mango (Irvingia gabonensis)
Aloe vera
Aspartate
Carnitine
Chromium
Coenzyme Q10
DHEA derivatives
EPA-rich fish oil
Green tea
Hydroxycitrate
L-carnitine
Pantethine
Pyruvate
Sesamin
White kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
It is important to know that there is no evidence, or only very weak evidence, that these ingredients help with weight loss. Before using an over the counter or herbal diet remedy, talk with your health care provider.
