Before you buy a natural diet pill, take a few moments to read this article.
Below, you will see evaluations of some of the products that are heavily advertised and supposedly top-rated, by whom is unclear.
But, regardless, here is a look at what the pills contain and the risks/benefits associated with their use.
Phentramine The manufacturer probably chose the name, because there is a prescription weight-loss drug with a very similar name, only differing in two letters.
According to the manufacturer, the active ingredients in Phentramine include guarana extract, sha de bugre, ginseng, citrus aurantium (bitter orange) and magnolia bark.
It can be purchased with or without hoodia extract.
These ingredients are not unlike those found in other supplements.
Guarana contains caffeine.
The side effects of caffeine are dose dependent.
If the amount of caffeine in guarana, plus what you normally consume, puts you at or close to 500mg per day, you could experience insomnia, anxiety, nervousness and heart palpitations.
Chronic caffeine abuse leads to other health problems, including adrenal exhaustion.
Cha de bugre, bitter orange and ginseng are all stimulants, which could increase the agitation caused by the caffeine in guarana.
Magnolia bark is probably included to counteract the anxiety effects.
But, the safety of this natural diet pill cannot be guaranteed.
It is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.
Resveratrol Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in grape skins and other plants.
It can be found as a single ingredient supplement and also in combination with other ingredients.
There is little reason to believe that it could help people lose weight, but it might help them live longer and reduce their risk of Alzheimer.
The only reason that it is included in weight loss supplements is because of some animal studies and because of some scientific misunderstandings.
Green Tea Green tea could be a beneficial natural diet pill.
Like resveratrol it is found in single ingredient supplements and is included in some of the better multi-nutritional supplements.
In limited quantities, it is believed to be good for your overall health, in that it may reduce your risk of certain kinds of cancer.
Alone, it might not do much to help you lose weight.
When combined with healthy diet and regular physical activity, it has proven beneficial for people with high blood sugar levels of a pre-diabetic nature.
Eating Right and Exercising While it might not be a natural diet pill, choosing healthy, nutrient rich foods, instead of those that are high in calories and low in nutrients is a good way to lose weight and maintain that weight loss throughout your life.
Learning to combine foods properly and eat at regular meal times, while eating more than three times per day are other good idea.
Regular physical activity might not be essential for weight loss, but it is good for your health and it will make you feel better, too.
Exercise is not a natural diet pill, but it is a natural antidepressant and anti-anxiety aid.
So, learn more about eating for weight loss and do a few jumping jacks while the page is loading.
That is my advice.
