If you are looking for weight loss without sacrificing your health or future weight loss, consider this, we have banned products literally since the early 1900’s for dangerous and otherwise intimidating and unsafe ingredients. And yet even with all of our innovations, we continue to do so. Some are longer standing than others, and we now put each ingredient through rigorous tests both to prove their efficacy and moreover to help you to avoid side effects or safety issues.
But some still slip through the cracks. For starters, watch out for aristolochia fangchi. We believe that Chinese plants often are the safest, because the Chinese would know right? Well, ephedrine was also considered to be a “Chinese herb.” This particular plant causes toxicity in the kidneys and renal failure in Belgium, 100 cases in fact in 2000 and 2001 alone. For this reason, it has been banned in many countries, but of course you can’t really stop the internet. This is one of the newest ingredients to hit the dangerous market, but yet people still flock to it to some degree knowing exactly what it is. A similar ingredient in terms of side effects that ironically doesn’t promote weight loss is yohimbine.
