Beware of the weight loss products marketed and sold as “Bestseller” or “Topseller” supplements. These miracle weight loss products can cause harm to your body in long runs. The U.S Food and Drug Administration guides you about the same.
The U.S Food and Drug Administration warns not to use nearly 50 weight loss products sold on Amazon and eBay that may have been found to contain hidden ingredients and constituents which may pose risk to the health of the consumers. The FDA purchased these products on Amazon and eBay. The FDA then conducted an agency testing and check and found that these products contain active pharmaceutical ingredients which were not listed in their ingredient list labeled on the pack. It was also noted that some of the ingredients were important constituents of the prescription drugs. These products have potential side effects that may affect the health of the individual.
The main purpose of the FDA is to protect the health and safety of all the consumers who are buying these products. Mr.Jason Humbert, a senior regulatory manager at FDA says, “We have found weight-loss products marketed as supplements that contain dangerous concoctions of hidden ingredients including active ingredients contained in approved seizure medicines, blood pressure medicines and antidepressants.”
A lot of the prescription medicines or ingredients that are being incorporated in dietary supplements
FDA has found a number of products as dietary supplements containing fluoxetine, the active ingredient found in Prozac, a prescription drug marketed for the treatment of depression and other conditions. The FDA has found weight-loss products tainted with prescription drug ingredients called sibutramine. No doubt, this particular drug ingredient was present in an FDA-approved drug called Meridia, which was removed from the market in October 2010 as it was known to cause heart problems and stroke. One of the weight loss products contains triamterene which is one of the ingredients used as a powerful diuretic also known as water pills.These three constituents or ingredients have serious side effects and should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Many of these products are sold on health-related sites. So be careful the next time you pick or purchase any Garcinia Cambogia from the health-related website. Loop in your doctor who can guide you about the product which can work for you. You should be aware of these ingredients which can cause potential side effects in the long run.
