If you want to lose weight, you may have considered trying a dietary supplement that’s promoted for this purpose. However, products of this type are unlikely to be helpful.
Most dietary supplements marketed for weight loss, such as acai, hoodia, green tea extracts, and bitter orange extract, don’t work for keeping weight off in the long term, and some of them can have side effects.
If you’re considering a dietary supplement for weight loss, remember that “natural” does not necessarily mean “safe” or “effective.” It’s a good idea to discuss the product with your health care provider before making a decision about whether to use it.
