3 Popular Weight Loss Supplements

Weight loss is a 40 billions dollar industry that owes a large part of its profits to the sale of these supplements. There is a simple reason why these supplements are so popular. They are plentiful, easy to buy, and fairly inexpensive. Unfortunately, many of these supplements make false claims of their ability to help you shed pounds.

But there are supplements that can help you to lose weight. Here are 3 popular supplements that you should try.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a fatty acid present in milk that has been proven to promote loss of weight and to build muscle. In an analysis of 18 weight loss studies involving CLA, researchers found that just 3.2 grams per day of this supplement reduced body fat in study participants.

Side effects: digestive problems.

Hoodia

Of these 3 popular supplements, hoodia is probably the most popular. Hoodia is a plant that resembles a cactus and grows in the desert-like conditions of South Africa, Botswana, and others. Hoodia has been shown to be effective at suppressing appetite which lowers caloric intake which--of course--results in weight loss.

Side effects: Possible liver damage, dehydration (due to the suppression of thirst as well as hunger) and low blood sugar.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is fermented apple cider that is used as an appetite suppressant. Loaded with pectin and potassium (which have been proven to aid metabolism and to help burn fat) apple cider vinegar is also used as a "fat burner." This supplement may be taken in pill or liquid form.

Side effects: Damage to the digestive tract or to the esophagus (due to the alkalinity of the vinegar), digestive problems, stomach irritation, liver damage.

Each of these 3 popular supplements has been proven to help shed pounds. Try them and watch your extra pounds melt away!
