There’s a reason why most weight loss supplements are met with scepticism. From celebrity-touted detox teas to heart-attack-inducing caffeine pills, there’s a lot to be sceptical about.
Ensuring the supplements you take are safe and effective comes down to relying on scientific evidence, looking to Health Canada for verification, and trusting the companies you support.
One of the biggest reasons most weight loss supplements fail is because they simply don’t have scientific evidence to support their efficacy. Without scientific evidence, including a randomized clinical trial, we don’t know if the supplement does what the packaging claims.
For example, the ingredients may only support weight loss in theory, not in practice. Or they may not be at the therapeutic dose necessary to see measurable results (i.e., at trace levels). Or they may be in doses that are too high and unsafe, , especially when it comes to thermogenic ingredients (like caffeine) that can cause insomnia, anxiety, or heart palpitations.
That’s why we encourage consumers to verify that all their supplements are clinically proven to ensure safety and efficacy.
Unfortunately, many companies exaggerate their product claims and imply that their customers will lose a significant amount of weight. All without the necessary scientific evidence to prove these claims.
Luckily, Health Canada has strict guidelines. If a supplement is licensed by Health Canada, there is an approved list of health claims associated with the product. You can ensure a product is Health Canada-approved and access the list of health claims through the NPN (Natural Products Number) on the supplement packaging.
This is another reason why we encourage customers to verify that the supplements they take are clinically proven and supported by scientific evidence. Thus, for added peace of mind, make sure your supplements are approved by Health Canada.
When supplements are focused on immediate results, they’re setting you up to fail. Instead of helping you create healthy life-long habits, they’re getting you stuck in an endless cycle of weight gain and weight loss. Not to mention the faster the weight loss, the more muscle mass you’ll lose.
Instead, choose supplements that support weight loss in a safe and effective way, ideally while maintaining your muscle mass.
The most important thing to look for in a weightloss supplement is adequate scientific evidence. Look for supplements that have undergone randomized clinical trials to prove their safety and efficacy. Remember that anything taken in excess may be toxic, and conversely, if you don’t consume the minimum dose, you may not see a benefit. Our scientifically proven weight loss supplement, Trim 7, has been optimized to strike the perfect balance between being safe without compromising the health benefits. It’s also the only supplement on the market that’s been proven to help you lose fat while maintaining your hard-earned muscle.
Ensure the ingredients are what you’re looking for. For example, check the caffeine levels and make sure they’re not too high for your unique needs.
Finally, look for Health Canada-approved supplements to ensure all claims are accurate and have been scientifically proven.
