Weight Loss Supplements---Federal Regulations The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has had some success in suingrepparttar marketers of weight loss supplements that claim to burn or absorb fat. Several state attorney generals have also been involved in legal action against weight loss supplement manufacturers. In addition,repparttar 135015 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned over one hundred ingredients that were once commonly found in overrepparttar 135016 counter weight loss supplements. These banned ingredients include alcohol, caffeine, dextrose, and guar gum. But many federal and state regulations can do little more than work to preventrepparttar 135017 really dangerous weight loss supplements off ofrepparttar 135018 market. Unfortunately, underrepparttar 135019 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, manufacturers of dietary supplements are not required to provide evidence that their products are safe or even effective. The burden rests onrepparttar 135020 FDA to prove that a product is either unsafe or ineffective.

Weight Loss Supplements--Should You Try Them? If you decide incorporate a weight loss supplement into your weight loss program, be sure to read all ofrepparttar 135021 literature associated withrepparttar 135022 product. Carefully assessrepparttar 135023 claims and risks and understandrepparttar 135024 directions for use. And use common sense; some weight loss supplements require that you follow a very restricted low-calorie diet and exercise several times a week for full effectiveness. But these steps are likely to guarantee weight loss on their own, withoutrepparttar 135025 need of a weight loss supplement.

Still, there are some medical professionals that do not see harm in taking weight loss supplements that are made of safe, all-natural ingredients like Slimirex. Natural fiber supplements may be another good choice. These products may or may not leave you feeling fuller longer. But they will be effective at stimulatingrepparttar 135026 digestive system, keeping waste and nutrients moving throughrepparttar 135027 system, and improving regularity.
