Hoodia Gordonii Diet Pill Hoodia
With over 97 million Americans currently overweight or obese, the demand for weight-loss products has never been higher, with many consumers turning to over-the-counter medications to support their goal of fighting off the fat. In a recent issue of the online medical journal Medscape Today, researchers look at some of the more popular supplements, and provide advice on what works, what doesn’t, and what is just plain unhealthy.
Promoting weight loss
One of the most effective over-the-counter medications is Orlistat, which is also the only one the US Food and Drug Administration has approved for weight loss. The drug reduces the ability of the body to break apart and absorb dietary fat. Its consumption is recommended with a diet low in saturated fat – those on a high fat diet can experience gastrointestinal side effects if they are also taking the supplement. However, those on the drug cannot expect dramatic results – studies showed that those taking Orlistat for 16 weeks only lost around five per cent of their initial body weight. These may not be the longed-for results of those hoping to go from size 14 to 4 in time for the summer!
