Dietary Supplements are usually touted as the magic diet pill. Claims as lose weight while not changing your diet, 30 pounds in 30 days and many more. A new one is for people on diabetes and need to control their weight. Many of the claims are advertised on TV or radio or the internet as new formulas or products to allow you to lose weight without changing anything.
These people are very successful marketers as they make millions on products that rarely work for any length of time. Most dietary supplements will run a disclaimer as not having been evaluated by the FDA. Unfortunately in the US the FDA has no control over the dietary supplement business unless the people use a new ingredient that has not been used in the dietary supplement business. Simply it means that all these supplements are using ingredients that have been used before.
Dietary Supplements
Did you ever wonder why most diet books recommend very few dietary supplements and if they ado they are their own products. The biggest reason for this is people will pay good hard earned money for something that they know will not work.
Most of these ad campaigns for supplements start out with TV or Print ads and then fade to internet marketing. Internet marketing of supplements is becoming huge in the business and more and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon. The simple reason is there is even less regulations than if it was advertised on TV.
The next big way is to get a celebrity to hawk the product. Oprah and a few others are good for this. Every time I turn the TV on Oprah is on a new great diet. People will try anything but what is necessary in losing weight. The will choose the latest fad diet rather than the tried and true diets that are available that actually work. The difference is that in the diets that work you need to work daily at it. Dieting is not rocket science but it is hard work.
It is always exciting and easier to pop a pill that will enable you to lose weight. It sure beats hours walking or in the gym or eating foods that are not as tasty as some of the processed foods available. I know I would rather have a cherry pie with ice cream than a veggie tray with low cal dip any day.
There are supplements that are good but there are only a few that I have found to actually work. Most of these are aids not complete diets. They are supposed to be used as an addition to the diet to help the diet and the person in times of temptation. The best dietary supplement is the one we all have available and is free, it is water.
The most disturbing problem of dietary supplements is where they are made. Most of the dietary products are made in China. The regulations at these plants are nonexistent. The ingredients on the label are not always what are in the pills. Since these plants are not clean or sanitary you can get almost anything in the supplement. Also the fillers and the active ingredients can be old and stale and inert. In another words they are no worth much. The manufacture is cutting corners to make money, the employees are getting paid pennies so do they really care what someone half way around the world is doing with the pills they are making? So when deciding on a dietary supplement do our homework before making the purchase on a product you are going to consume that has no regulatory constraints.
