Danger
Metabolife
International, makers of Metabolife 356
have come under heavy scrutiny from federal officials lately.
Consumer groups and government officials allege Metabolife International
has concealed complaints about health problems associated with
its products.
As a consumer, the best way to avoid any health problems when
taking Metabolife or any other diet pill, is to arm yourself with
information about the product you plan to take. A good start is
to ask the following 5 questions before choosing a diet supplement:
1. Find out if the diet pill contains Ephedrine (MaHuang)? Ephedrine
is one of the most popular ingredients in herbal diet pills, and
Metabolife is the largest manufacturer of Ephedrine-based diet
products on the market. Ephedrine, combined with precise ratios
of caffeine, has been studied extensively and proven to speed
up the metabolism and enhance fat loss. Many people cannot tolerate
ephedrine, so before you try an herbal diet pill, you might want
to consider finding one that is ephedrine-free. For information
on one of the most effective ephedrine-free diet pills on the
market, see Metabogenic
diet pills.
2. Find out if there have been any reported side-effects associated
with taking the product? Many manufacturers of ephedrine-based
diet-pills (including Metabolife) insist ephedrine-based supplements
are safe when used as directed. There is no question as to Ephedrine's
effectiveness in promoting weight-loss, but there is a lot of
controversy surrounding its safety. The best way to avoid problems
is to ask the company of any potential side-effects associated
with its product, before taking it. If the company selling the
product is unable or unwilling to provide you with this information,
then I would avoid the product. For more information about the
health risks associated with Metabolife, see Metabolife
Health Risks.
3. What is the recommended dosage? Ask the company selling the
product what the recommended dosage of the diet pill is. If you
purchase a bottle, the recommended use should be clearly stated
on the label affixed to the bottle. Never exceed the recommended
dosage of a diet pill, especially if it is an ephedrine-based
diet pill like Metabolife 356.
4. If you are taking a prescription medication, find out if you
can take the diet pill along with your medication. The safest
way to get this answer is to ask your doctor. Find out if it is
safe to take a diet pill along with your medication. Take a bottle
of the actual supplement to your doctor, so he/she can look at
the ingredients and make the determination. There are many instances
where you should avoid combining diet pills with medication, but
you should rely on your doctor to give you this answer.
5. Find out if there is a money-back guarantee policy if. This
way, you can actually try out the product to see if you can tolerate
it, before making your final decision. Some companies are now
offering free samples for this very reason, so first ask if there
is a money-back guarantee policy and if not, ask if there is a
free sample of the product available for you to try.
