Hydroxycut and choosing a safe weight loss supplement

-Examiner

06/19/2009 - Americans spent $1.67 billion in 2007 on weight loss supplements. Ninety percent of the market belonged to one company. Selling over 9 million units in 2008, Hydroxycut’s reign as king has come to an end.

Here come the lawsuits against Hydroxycut but the fact of the matter is that there is a demand for weight loss supplements. Millions of consumers are back on the market trying to find the next diet pill that will help them get through their workout or lose the last 10 lbs. Many people take diet pills not to lose weight but to give themselves an extra boost before their workout so that they could exercise intensely when feeling lethargic.

Since we don't know what ingredient caused the liver damage, many products that are unsafe are still out there. Here are a few things to check for when choosing an alternative and what you can do if you are experiencing side effects of Hydroxycut.

Here are a few things to look for when choosing a supplement:

Look at the list of ingredients. Stay away from products that include unfamiliar multiple herbal ingredients like guarana extract or garcina cambogia. Hydroxycut did not show the details on a variety of herbal ingredients by listing them all under two names: Hydroxaygen Plus and Hydroxy Tea, their own signature formulas.

Iceland Health Appetite Control contains 4 major ingredients including their dosages – Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Fish Oil (my favorite supplement for overall health) and Chromax(r) chromium picolinate.

Iceland Health’s Appetite Control Formula claims that it can reduce cravings, decreases appetite and reduces food intake by as much as 25%. This Appetite Control Formula does not however keep you up all night and provides even more potential health benefits than just lowering your waistline! A lack of vitamin D has been linked to depression, heart disease, pregnancy problems, birth defects, skin cancer, and multiple sclerosis. Fish Oil reduces your risk of heart disease, improves the function of your joints and may help your body burn more fat during exercise. Stick with supplements like Iceland Health Appetite Control – where you’re familiar with each ingredient and its health benefits.

Always ask your doctor if you are at all concerned or experiencing any abnormal side effects. Make sure you tell them what products you are taking. I tell my viewers “If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it,” so why take a supplement you can’t either?

With 2 in 3 American adults overweight and 1 in 3 obese, the dietary supplement industry is racing to find a safe and effective supplement that will ultimately help millions of desperate Americans lose weight. Remember dietary supplements do not require the FDA’s approval before landing on shelves. So if you’re one of the 50% that takes supplements, make sure the one you are taking is safe.
