Weight loss and sexual enhancement supplements…more than you bargained for?

An article was published in the New York Times a few months ago written by Natasha Singer about supplements that may be tainted with unlabeled medications and shipped to this country.

The most common offenders are weight loss supplements and sexual enhancement supplements. 

 

Sibutramine is the most common illegal additive to weight loss supplements. Sibutramine was available in weight loss supplements and sexual enhancement supplements with sibutramine the US as Meridia until October 2010 when it was removed from the market after research showed it could cause an increase risk of heart attack and stroke. Consider this: you’re taking a diet supplement that’s not supposed to have a risk of heart attack and stroke, but because a supplier added sibutramine to it without labeling it as such, you can be putting yourself at risk without even knowing it! 

 

Sexual enhancement supplements are also common targets for adding medications or analogues without being truly labeled as such. They may contain Viagra or components similar to it. Many patients purchase sexual enhancement supplements when there are medical reasons they can’t use Viagra or other prescription erectile function medications, such as taking nitrates or have certain heart problems. For a patient to be using tainted supplements, they may be putting themselves at a greater risk than even using regulated medications as doses can be varying and unknown in many of the supplements. 
 
 
Ms. Singer’s article keeps the integrity of most supplements in mind – these contaminations are outliers but are real possibilities. All supplements shouldn’t be disregarded because there are issues with some manufacturers and some types of supplements. Buying especially these types of supplements from a reputable store with quality brands is important. 
 
One point not addressed in the article, but that is important – if you think you’ve had any sort of reaction to these types of supplements – let your healthcare practitioner know regardless of the outcome. Lastly, remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

I've heard many times in many places that you shouldn't live and die simply by the scale and that you should instead plot your daily weight on an average curve that smoothes out the daily fluctuations in weight.

HCG

Submitted by sm096 on Sat, 2012-04-14 08:32.

I dont want to hear HCG doesnt work. I tried everything. I am a 54 year old male . I went from 227Lbs to 179lbs and have kept it off and its been off now over 6 months. I did not do any exserciee while on this strict diet now I run 2 miles a day and lift 3 times a week. went from a 38 waist to a 31. I feel great look great eat normal food with in reason and i never been so happy or proud of myself. If you have a negative outlook it will not work which means (oh this cant work) guess what it does work morons. I did it my son did it he went from 265 to 225 all done in 41 days. So all you HCG bashers your right it cant work for you, you dont have the mental capacity will power or inner strength. I can do one of those before and after pictures. I dont sell the product and have no financial stake in it. The old Nike commercial, JUST DO IT, does work. Oh by the way I didnt take the shots I bought the liquid drops at a local health shop. Its a shame that I had to invest in an all new wardrobe its killing me (LOL). Get over it people it works, I'm living proof. My facebook page has my before and after pix.
