We wanted to make a list of the top rated weight loss supplements on the market today, in both the prescription and over the counter categories, so that you will have some feedback from others who have gone down this road before you. You probably have some friends or family that have sung the praises of, or have lamented the downfalls of their experiences with diet pills. We have the perspective that more information is a good thing when trying to make decisions about your health.
This list is not in any particular order of the pills’ effectiveness or popularity. It is more of an over all top pills list, and we plan to follow it up with others in the future.
Hydroxycut – A favorite of amateur bodybuilders the world over. This over the counter dietary supplement was possibly the most popular in the weight loss category for many years. Its popularity took a hit when the FDA put a ban on Ephedra a few years ago, as Ephedra was a main ingredient of this supplement. It was reformulated to exclude the banned substance, and has started to regain some more of its dominance.
Phentermine – also known as Adipex, Phentermine is actually the generic name of these pills. It is a stimulant similar to amphetamine and an appetite suppressant. I have personally used this pill with great success, however I can attest the side effects are real. It appears to be one of the more popular choices judging from responses on line and discussing it with people I know.
Alli – Another over the counter entry into the list, Alli is possibly the most popular weight loss supplement on the market today. It is one of the first and only over the counter diet pills to be approved by the FDA. It is basically a version of a prescription diet drug – Xenical – but at a lesser dosage. Most of the complaints people have with this pill is the side effects (leaky anal discharge being one of them, so I guess it “depends” on what you are willing to deal with for weight loss).
Clinicallix – A recent entry into the market, Clinicallix has great reviews by the people who have used the product. By all accounts it has taken the diet world somewhat by storm. By including several different substances known for accelerating fat loss this product has taken over the counter diet pills to a new level. It is also backed by several clinical trials where the placebo group loss a total of 4 pounds and the Clinicallix control group loss a total of 31 pounds. The biggest drawback to these weight loss pills might be it causes people to lose weight too fast causing other health issues, although to be fair there aren’t any reports of this at this time. It is still new enough to the market that it may be a while before we see the whole picture of this supplement’s effect on the body. That being said, it appears to be one of the best new products out today.
Always remember, the best weight loss supplement is the one that works best for you. These are just some of the ones that have worked well for a number of people out there. As always, don not start any medication without discussing it with your medical professional first.
