When taken under medical supervision, in association with a proper diet and exercise program, weight loss pills and other bodybuilding supplements can be very effective; in promoting healthy weight loss.
Currently, there are two widely recognized types of
weight loss pills: over-the-counter, and prescription.
Prescribed diet and weight loss pills are tested, inspected and clinically proven to provide established results. They are closely regulated by the government; and require strict FDA approval.
Non-prescription weight loss pills can be purchased over-the-counter and are subject to only minimal FDA regulation. Non prescription pills are sometimes referred to as weight loss supplements. Examples include herbal weight loss pills, fat burners, stackers and other diet/sport supplements.
When selecting non-prescription weight loss pills, consider these factors:
1. Are the weight loss pills the product of an established and reputable company?
2. Is the company producing and manufacturing the weight loss pills, standardized and inspected?
3. Are the best quality ingredients being used in the production of the weight loss pills?
4. Is there positive peer feedback, comments and responses available; to validate a decision to buy?
5. Are the ingredients mixed properly and contain a healthy balance?
