Best Weight Loss Products: An Overview of Medicines, Supplements, and Cosmetics

There are many individual approaches to the issue of weight loss. In addition to diet and sports, many people resort to various supportive methods: dietary supplements, medicines, cosmetics, herbs, and traditional medicine recipes. How to choose the best option from all this diversity? First, decide what exactly you need, and then study the TOP-10 most effective means in this area.

A few tips

Before looking at the ratings, familiarize yourself with the expert advice.

The basic rule: the best remedy for losing weight is the one prescribed or recommended by a doctor. Therefore, first of all, do not be lazy and undergo a medical examination. Find out the reason for the extra pounds and listen to a specialist. No ratings and TOPs can replace the prescription of an endocrinologist or homeopath.

If you need to lose less than 5 kg, you should not take pills. The best means in this case are harmless herbs and anti-cellulite cosmetics. In most cases, they can be used without a doctor’s prescription. However, remember that without a diet and exercise, they are unlikely to be effective.

If you decide to use tablets, capsules, powders, and other dosage forms, buy them at a pharmacy. This is the only way to be sure of the proper quality of the product and minimize the risks to your health. Note that the ratings include a huge number of dietary supplements that can only be ordered online. Yes, in some cases, they boast maximum efficiency, but the fact that they are not distributed through the pharmacy network should make you think. The lack of necessary documentation, side effects, dubious composition, constantly changing manufacturers — can such funds be the best with such a baggage of shortcomings?

To understand which direction to move in, you need to find out the cause of the excess weight. For example, you bought the most effective diuretic to remove excess fluid from the body. As a result, you have not lost weight and earned dehydration. And all because you need to cleanse not the kidneys, but the intestines.

If you have determined the direction of the search, you need to correctly set the goal. Do you want to lose weight without harm to your health and side effects? Adequate people understand that this is impossible. Such a magic pill has not yet been invented, since any herbs, medicines, recipes and other means have a powerful effect on the work of certain organs. It is possible that their functioning under excessive load will be disrupted.

This also applies to anti-cellulite creams, which can cause allergies, and herbal preparations that can “plant” gastritis and kidney problems. What can we say about tablets with a whole bunch of synthetic additives and “chemicals”. However, this does not prevent many of them from being the best means for losing weight, since they help to lose weight in a short time. Just be prepared for such pitfalls and carefully study the contraindications to their use.

And the last thing. The question of which remedy for weight loss is the best in the world has no definite answer. Each tool affects different people in its own way. For example, someone will drink Xenical and, without side effects, lose 10 kg in a month, while others will end up in a hospital bed due to its powerful psychotropic effect. There is no universal drug that will suit everyone and allow them to lose weight quickly. As soon as it is invented, diets, bariatric surgeries, salon procedures and other methods of losing weight will no longer be needed.

Drugs

Compiling a single TOP of the best weight loss products is extremely difficult, since each of them has a specific effect on the body. You cannot combine laxatives, diuretics, and fat burners into one list. Therefore, a separate rating was created for each group of drugs.
