Weight Loss Hormones And Faulty Supplements Exposed

When it comes to supplements for weight loss, the selection is quite varied

. And the risks are varied as well. And the supplements that can really damage your health can be bought by virtually anybody with an internet connection.

How did this come to be? Well, in the US, the government deregulated the supplement industry and opened the flood gates. And there are also countless companies overseas that specialize in selling extremely powerful hormones that are protected under the umbrella of research use.

Thus, here are some dangerous fat loss supplements that you should be aware of:

1. Anabolics. Commonly referred to as steroids, these substances are extremely powerful. They stimulate the body to build muscle mass and burn fat. Unfortunately, they can permanently damage your endocrine system.

2. Pro hormones. Pro hormones have become illegal in the US. However, you can still buy them online from overseas dealers. They are basically milder forms of steroids. They ultimately convert into the same thing, testosterone.

3. HGH. Often used in anti aging clinics around the world, human growth hormone truly is the fountain of youth. But if you supplement with it you can get acromegaly, also known as gigantism. Not to mention the unrestrained organ growth.

4. Thyroid boosters. Not too long ago there were some thyroid boosters that hit the market. Anything that stimulates the thyroid will increase metabolism (i.e., calories burned). Unfortunately, such supplements can have dire consequences for the heart.

5. Pills. There are many companies claiming to be able to boost hormone production with their herbal formulations. None of these formulations, however, actually work. You are better served saving your money.

Most companies selling supplements to the public are not regulated. So please do a lot of research before adding a supplement to your daily dietary regimen. And taking something powerful like anabolic steroids, although effective, has some very dangerous side effects. In the end, losing weight with a sound nutrition and exercise program is the best way to go.
