People can control their weight through aerobic exercise, diet therapy, etc. In addition, weight loss health foods have a certain auxiliary effect on weight loss and are also a good choice. With the continuous deepening of research on the functions of health foods, many consumers have begun to try health products with weight loss effects, and even take drugs to achieve the effect of rapid weight loss.
The most common effective ingredients in weight loss health foods are L-carnitine, total flavonoids, anthraquinone, gypenosides and tea polyphenols.
Weight loss supplements
About one-third of weight loss health foods use L-carnitine (and its salts) as raw materials. In 2003, L-carnitine was recognized by the International Obesity Health Organization as a safe and side-effect-free weight loss nutritional supplement. L-carnitine has good fat oxidation and decomposition, weight loss and other functions.OEM ODM L-carnitine capsules is available for our company.
Tea polyphenols is the general term for polyphenols in tea. Tea polyphenols play an important role in fat metabolism, lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, etc.
Weight loss health foods are only suitable for obesity caused by no obvious endocrine and metabolic diseases, that is, non-pathological obesity.
The most common raw materials for weight loss health foods are Chinese herbal medicine ingredients, such as lotus leaf extract, cassia seed, etc.
Anthraquinones are widely present in plants, such as rhubarb, cassia seed and senna leaves, which are rich in such substances. The weight loss effect of anthraquinone is mainly achieved by promoting intestinal peristalsis and accelerating lipid excretion.
Weight loss pills that actually work
Orlistat mainly acts on the gastrointestinal tract in the digestive system to prevent fat intake. It is a legal OTC weight loss drug.
Semaglutide weight loss
As the global demand for GLP-1 drugs continues to increase, semaglutide, a glucose-lowering drug originally used for diabetic patients, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight loss indications.
Liraglutide vs semaglutide
In December 2021, an article published in the authoritative medical journal The Lancet conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the weight loss effects and safety of 8 types of drugs. These included Orlistat, Setmelanotide, and Liraglutide. The results showed that these drugs all achieved the goal of an average weight loss of 5%. Liraglutide was better than setmelanotide.
It should be noted that the effect of weight loss pills is not immediate. Losing weight too quickly is not good for health. In addition, all weight loss pills are prohibited for use by pregnant and lactating women.
When purchasing weight loss products, do not only focus on whether they can produce results quickly, but ignore the safety of the product. Do not blindly use weight loss products that contain banned ingredients. Before use, you should read the product instructions carefully, especially the method of use, amount of consumption and precautions. If you feel uncomfortable after use, you should stop using it immediately.
