A CLOSER LOOK AT SOME INGREDIENTS CONT. Gymnema Gymnema sylvestre is a plant found in India and other parts of Asia The active ingredient: gymnemic acid Helps balance sugar levels Gymnemic acid molecules are similar to glucose molecules – They inhibit glucose cell receptors  prevents uptake of sugar molecules

WHERE TO BUY Prescription Prescribed to obese individuals with a BMI of 35 or more These pills have more serious side-effects These pills are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Ex. Meridia and Xenical Over-the-counter Wide range of effectiveness Products considered by FDA to be over-the- counter weight control are those containing the active ingredient phenylpropanolamine

POTENTIALLY HARMFUL PRODUCTS (IDENTIFIED BY FDA OR OTHER CONSUMER WATCH GROUPS) Aristolochic Acid associated with permanent kidney damage Can develop certain types of cancers Ephedra Also known as Ma-huang Chemically similar to methamphetamine, which is “speed” Herbal weight loss tea/Dieter’s tea Marketed as “natural laxatives”  Ineffective method of weight loss Can result in bowel dependency (constipation) on the laxative properties Tiratricol Triiodothyroacetic acid, or TRIAC A strong thyroid hormone Linked to stroke and heart attacks

ARE DIET PILLS A GOOD OPTION FOR WEIGHT LOSS? No. Should not rely on diet pills to lose weight They are not a long-term solution and they come with the risk of side effects! According to surveys, constant and long term weight control is not possible by simply taking diet pills “If you have not solved the problem that caused you to be overweight in the first place, the weight will return.”

BETTER WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT Diet pills may help you get started on losing weight In the long run, it’s about making lifestyle changes Instead of relying on pills, change eating and exercising habits
