Herbal Weight Loss

Herbal weight loss supplements are available over the counter and without a prescription. They contain natural, herbal ingredients that work to curb the appetite, speed up metabolism to burn fat, and block carbohydrates or fat from food.

Common ingredients in herbal weight loss supplements include chromium (lowers blood sugar, reduce body fat and cholesterol, increases muscle mass and helps to control hunger), glucomannan (reduces appetite and food absorption), chitosan (reduces fat absorption and lowers cholesterol), tyrosine (mild stimulant), St. John’s Wort (suppresses appetite), Green Tea extract (strong antioxidant, helps to lower cholesterol), spirulina (algae). One of the more recent popular herbal ingredients that has had positive results, is hoodia gordonii, a cactus native to South Africa. It contains all the ingredients of a thermogenic (fat burning) supplement. Prior to the availability of hoodia, ephedra was the most popular herbal weight loss supplement on the market. As a result of some serious side effects, ephedra was banned in the United States.

Some of the most popular herbal weight loss pills on the market today are Hoodia Gordonii Plus, HoodiThin, Dietrine Carb Blocker, Herbal Phentermine, Lipitrex, Exitor, Zotrin and Relacore.

There are also herbal shakes and drinks that are available. The drink formulas are usually mixed with milk and are substituted for meals unlike herbal weight loss pills, which are taken with meals. Herbalife is a thermogenic fat burner, which replaces two meals a day with shakes, combined with nonfat dry milk. Ultra Slim Fast recommends two shakes a day combined with a snack and a full dinner. Nestle’s Sweet Success recommends three shakes per day with a full dinner.
