Independent Research On Diet Supplements And Medicine

There are various diet supplements and weight loss pills available in the market. Most of these pills do not require a doctor’s prescription. But one should be very careful while choosing any of these supplements and be aware of the potential side effects these pills may cause.

Some of the pills advertised for ‘miraculous’ weight loss contain latent and ‘undisclosed’ ingredients which are not published in the product labels that could pose serious threat to the normal functioning of the human body. In some cases, the product labels do not publish the right concentration of ingredients used and fail to reveal any of the steroidal contents of the product.

Reports have stated that some of the supplements have caused development of prostrate cancer which is incurable due to the presence of two dangerous components called estradiol and testosterone which could lead to increase in the growth of tumor cells. In addition, they reduce the effect of anti-cancer drugs on your body. Supplements containing amphetamines create addiction in people who use it regularly.

Though many of the suppliers claim that their products are natural supplements, it is always advisable to discuss about these pills with your doctor and seek his expert advice, especially in the case of pregnancy or administering over the counter drugs for children less than twelve years, in order to prevent irreversible damage at a later stage.

Since these supplements are not considered as medical drugs they do not require clinical trials or studies to enter the market and hence they get advertised with false claims that are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that many of these supplements are less reliable and effective. In addition, there may negative side effectives which might not be known.
