Millions of Americans attempt to lose weight using over the counter (OTC) weight loss aids such as non prescription diet pills or herbal supplements. OTC drugs often make claims such as suppressing appetite or increasing metabolism for their efficacy. These products have the appeal of providing fast and easy weight loss. Below is a brief overview of the most popular over the counter diet pills and herbal weight loss products and how they claim to provide effective weight loss.

1) Dexatrim/Acutrim

Like many other OTC weight loss products, Dexatrim or Acutrim contain
phenylpropanolamine (PPA). PPA is an appetite suppressant, as well as a nasal
decongestant. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has advised consumers to stop using products that contain PPA. The FDA reports that PPA is linked to an increased risk of bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke) and has asked drug manufacturers to cease selling any product that contains PPA. Because of these warnings, many of the products that once contained PPA have been reformulated to exclude PPA.

2) Metabolife

Metabolife is another extremely popular OTC product. It is an herbal dietary
supplement. Like similar products, such as Metabolite and MetaboMax, the primary ingredient in these products is ephedrine. Ephedrine is derived from the ephedra plant and is it’s synthetic derivative.

3) Products calling themselves herbal fen-phen.

There are a multitude of such products, most containing a variety of ingredients. The FDA warns that many of these ingredients it deems unsafe or to be avoided. Always check the ingredients on the FDA website.

4) Natrol/Solaray/Natural Balance

These products, and several others, contain 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP).

About 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP).

5-HTP is a breakdown product of tryptophan, which at one time was a popular
supplement. Tryptophan has been linked to eosinophilic myalgia syndrome, which is a serious blood and muscle disorder. There is evidence to suggest that the contaminant in tryptophan linked to this disorder may also be present in 5-hydroxytryptophan. For this reason, 5-HTP remains controversial and the FDA has warned consumers to avoid this product until further study.

5) Citrimax/CitriLean/Citrus Slim Gum

These products contain the herb Garcinia (hydroxycitric acid - HCA). Most researchers agree that this herb is ineffective for weight loss.

6) Herbal laxatives and diuretics

These products cause the body to lose water, not fat. These products also pose health risks, such as lowering potassium levels in the body, leading to possible heart and muscle problems. Frequent laxative use has been shown to create bowel dependence on them for waste elimination and is not recommended.

7) Pyruvate

Pyruvate is a very popular ingredient in weight loss products. Although it may have a limited effect in aiding weight loss, it’s claims to decrease appetite and increase metabolism remain unproven. The FDA believes that tests are needed to determine the safety and long term effects of Pyruvate.
