Beware of the many slimming claims in the market

Beware of compounds like herbal supplements that are not tested nor regulated by authorities like the FDA. This can interact with other medications you are taking. Without proper regulation, there is no guarantee of safety, purity, or efficacy for most of these products. Try to get more information from the relevant authorities before buying these products.

Always avoid products claiming weight loss without lifestyle change. Do discuss this with your doctors. Take note that fasts and extreme food restrictions can be health damaging if done without medical supervision. The "detox" claim in many products can lead to fatigue, cramping, and dehydration. We must know that our body already have natural "detox" organs - including the liver, skin, and lungs!
