Weight Loss Hormones Exposed

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Some weight loss supplements have little effect on the body and are relatively harmless. Other supplements have tremendous effects and can damage your health permanently. Unfortunately, said supplements are readily available to anybody that has the money.

How can such harmful substances be sold to the public? For two reasons. One, congress deregulated the supplement industry in 1994. Two, it is very easy to order illegal supplements from companies overseas that have no oversight.

So here is an overview of the weight loss dark side:

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. Testosterone precursors. Milder forms of steroids, these supplements were commonly used by athletes under the pretense that they were legal. Well, the government has now banned these supplements but you can still get them online.

3. The giant hormone. The main culprit for gigantism, human growth hormone is taken by many athletes for enhanced fat burning and muscle building. It truly is a wonder drug. But it also causes some nasty side effects like excessive organ growth.

4. TRIAC. This supplement gained a lot of popularity in Europe when it first hit the market. Its main function is to increase output from the thyroid. Doing so increases your metabolism. A faster metabolism accelerates weight loss. Unfortunately, this can seriously damage your 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.

The entirety of the supplement industry is heavily unregulated. And if you decide to take powerful hormones like anabolic steroids or HGH, the risks mount exponentially. So please do NOT assume that just because something comes in a bottle it is safe to consume. - 17274
