Dexatrim is a dietary supplement that claims to aid weight loss while on a low-calorie diet. Its formula has changed over the years due to US law, and it now contains herbs, vitamins, and minerals. The recommended dose is one to three capsules per day, but there is no research to suggest that they play a role in weight loss. Pregnant or lactating women and those with chronic health problems should talk to their doctor before starting any medication or weight loss program.
Dexatrim is an over-the-counter dietary supplement that is said to help people lose weight while on a low-calorie diet. It is available in four different formulations. The formula has changed over the years to comply with United States law, and now consists of herbs, vitamins, and minerals. The Humanetics Corporation makes this supplement.
When Dexatrim was first introduced to the market, it contained phenylpropanolamine (PPA). In 2000, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) removed PPA from pharmacy shelves due to concerns about the increased risk of stroke. At that time, the PPA was removed from Dexatrim products. The company replaced it with ephedra. When the FDA banned ephedra in 2004, the company replaced that with several different herbal blends.
Dexatrim Max Complex 7 and Dexatrim Max Daytime Appetite Control contain B vitamins, chromium and calcium, as well as an herbal blend of oolong and green tea leaf extract, panax ginseng root and caffeine. Additionally, Dexatrim Max Complex 7 contains a patented ingredient called 7-Keto. Dexatrim Natural Extra Energy and Natural Green Tea formulas contain calcium, chromium, green tea leaf extract and panax ginseng. Natural Extra Energy pills contain added caffeine, but there is no added caffeine in the Natural Green Tea product. The caffeine in the green tea formulation is natural.
The recommended dose is between one and three capsules per day. This provides some of the vitamins the body needs to function at its best; However, there is no research to suggest that they play a role in weight loss. Extracts of green and oolong tea and panax ginseng have been shown to help with weight loss, but only very slightly. Caffeine can aid weight loss by increasing metabolic rate, reducing appetite, and increasing water loss. Caffeine is not a way to permanently lose weight, and taking too much can pose risks, such as increased anxiety and tremors.
Most people can take the vitamins and minerals in these products without any ill effects. The herbs in Dexatrim, on the other hand, may not be safe for everyone. Pregnant or lactating women and those with chronic health problems should talk to their doctor before starting any medication or weight loss program. The best course of action if one is trying to lose weight may be to eat a sensible diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Daily exercise can also help people lose weight and feel healthier.
