Many people use herbal products for weight loss. Unfortunately, there's no magic pill for losing weight. The best and safest way to take off weight and keep it off is to eat well and exercise regularly.
If you decide to use an herbal weight-loss product, use the same caution that you would with any prescription weight-loss drug.
Several herbal products claim to suppress appetite and increase the rate at which your body burns calories. However, their effectiveness varies. In many cases there's no scientific evidence that they work at all.
Ephedra (ma-huang). This herb is found in Super Diet Max, Metabolife and Herbalife, among others. When combined with caffeine, ephedra is supposed to suppress your appetite and stimulate your metabolism. However, ephedra may increase risk of heart attack, seizure, stroke and sudden death.
Ephedra is a potent herb that is present in many products, especially those designed to give pep or lose weight. It goes by many names, such as ma huang, herbal ecstasy, mahuang, mahuanggen and ma huang root. Suspect any "natural" product that claims to cause weight loss or increase energy to have ephedra in it, and review the product's contents with your doctor or pharmacist before assuming it doesn't.
HCA (hydroxycitric acid). This is found in CitriMax. Animal studies show it effectively suppresses appetite. But no good studies show it's effective in humans. HCA shows the most promise of the herbal weight-loss drugs, but more research is needed.
Herbal laxatives and diuretics. Herbs such as aloe, rhubarb root, buckthorn, cascara, senna, parsley, juniper and dandelion leaves are found in Super Dieter's Tea, Trim-Maxx Tea and Water Pill. Herbal laxatives and diuretics cause a significant loss of body fluids, not fat. Large losses of fluid may result in low potassium levels. Eventually, this potassium deficiency can cause heart problems. When you use laxatives for long periods, your bowels may become dependent on them to function.
