What Ingredients to Look for in a Weight Loss Supplement

By Kristina Louis

When considering taking diet pills to aid in your weight loss, make sure you know what you're taking and check with your doctor first.

One of the ingredients found most often in weight loss supplements is caffeine. This is because it is a stimulant that can increase the rate of metabolism in your body. For some, caffeine also increases alertness and energy levels.

Yerba Mate - Users of diet pills with yerba mate as an ingredient ingest less food due to the suppressed appetite effect of yerba. Other claimed benefits of yerba mate are that it enhances energy levels, contains needed antioxidants, and works as a mild diuretic.

Kola Nut - The kola nut is a stimulant used often in diet pills to boost ones metabolism and energy, suppress hunger, and act as a mild diuretic.

You have probably seen guarana listed on a lot of energy drink cans. This is a central nervous system stimulant used to suppress appetite.

Bitter Orange - Studies have shown positive results with the use of bitter orange extract in the reduction of weight loss, increased metabolism, and increased lean muscle mass.

Chromium - claims to aid in the reduction of body fat and mass and boost lean mass

Tonalin CLA - A fatty acid known as Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is known for promoting good health, reduces fat, help the body to deposit less fat, increase muscle mass, and aid in the prevention of fat cells from refilling.

Garcinia Cambogia - Extracted from this tiny fruit is hydroxycitric acid or HCA that is claimed to suppress appetite and enhance fat burning.

Taking weight loss supplements can be dangerous if not used properly. It is important to learn about what you are putting into your body. It is worth a trip to the doctor to see if a prescription diet pill, such as phentermine, would be beneficial in your weight loss plan.

These pills can knock off the natural balance in your life. It may make it so that your metabolism and energy levels will not be normal once you stop taking the slimming pills. - 23802
