| + | Overall, weight loss supplements have not promised significant results in comparison to traditional conventions such as diet and exercise. People often opt for weight loss supplements due to the desire for quick results, their availability without prescription, the lack of physical demand, and many more perceived benefits due to inflated advertisement claims. | ||

| + | In terms of the future of weight loss supplements, new drugs such as Lorcaserin have come out on the market in recent years, and have been considered safe for use (“A new drug,” 2018). This pill has not shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease as a side effect, and has demonstrated sustainable weight loss outcomes (Bohula et al., 2018). Whereas, popular supplements such as Garcinia Cambogia, Hydroxycut, and Synephrine, which have been available for years, have all demonstrated considerable side effects. However, with Lorcaserin, the average participant only lost about nine pounds over a four-year period, which has prompted health professionals to question whether it’s worth it (“A new drug,” 2018). It is also expensive, and can cost users almost $9,000 USD over this period of use (“A new drug,” 2018). Additionally, similar to other supplements on the market, there is not enough research to show that it won’t cause health problems in the future. The only drugs approved for weight-loss in Canada are Saxenda, Xenical, and Contrave, but these do not allow patients to learn the benefits of healthy habits and appropriate diets (“A new drug,” 2018). Therefore, the recommended, and most effective approach to weight loss is a combination of increased exercise and limited calorie intake (Boucher, Shafer, & Chaffin, 2001). | ||
