10 Popular Ingredients in Weight Loss Pills
Summary
Looking for an extra push in your weight loss journey that goes beyond diet, portion control, and exercise? Weight-loss supplements with names like "fat burner" and "thermo max" might catch your eye. But are they effective? And more importantly, post the FDA’s ban on ephedra, are they safe?
Key Ingredients in Weight Loss Pills
Chitosan
Derived from the shells of lobsters, shrimp, and other shellfish, chitosan is an indigestible fiber believed to aid weight loss by binding to dietary fat and blocking its absorption. However, studies don't strongly support this claim. Side effects can include constipation and gas, and it's not suitable for those with shellfish allergies.
Chromium
Often found as chromium picolinate, it's marketed to boost lean muscle and reduce body fat. Results are mixed?"some studies suggest a slight weight loss with doses of 200 to 400 micrograms, while others show no significant effects. Despite some lab safety concerns, human studies generally deem it safe.
Citrus Aurantium (Bitter Orange)
This herbal extract contains synephrine, similar to ephedrine, and is a popular substitute post ephedra ban. However, there’s no published evidence supporting its effectiveness, and it can raise blood pressure. Experts recommend avoiding it.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
Animal and human studies suggest CLA might reduce body fat and increase lean mass, but long-term data is lacking. Currently studied alongside chromium picolinate, CLA is naturally found in dairy and beef and is considered safe.
Garcinia Cambogia
The rind extract of this fruit contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which supposedly reduces food intake and fat storage. However, studies fail to prove its effectiveness in weight loss, with common side effects including respiratory and digestive issues.
Guarana
Containing caffeine, guarana seeds may mildly suppress appetite short-term. Previously combined with ephedra, it shares caffeine's side effects like insomnia and anxiety.
Hydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB)
A byproduct of the amino acid leucine, HMB is used by bodybuilders to potentially increase muscle mass. While some studies suggest it aids in reducing body fat with weight training, more research on overweight individuals is needed.
Plantago Psyllium
A soluble fiber from Plantago ovato seeds, psyllium may promote fullness before meals, helping you eat less. Known to relieve constipation, it hasn’t proven effective for weight loss.
Pyruvate
Claiming to boost metabolism and reduce fat, pyruvate occurs naturally from carbohydrate and protein breakdown. Some studies indicate weight loss benefits, though these incorporated exercise and calorie reduction. Large dosages were used, making its standalone effectiveness questionable.
Yerba Mate
High in caffeine and traditionally brewed in tea, yerba mate was found in a brief study to assist weight loss by delaying stomach emptying. Its long-term effectiveness and safety need further exploration.
Conclusion
While most of these supplements are costly and unproven, chromium picolinate and CLA are among the most researched. If you're considering supplements, consult your doctor and be cautious with your expectations.
