Health and Fitness Supplements for Women

Many health and fitness supplements for women are making
headlines today. They promise to help you lose weight, feel
great, and even shed the pounds where you hate them the
most. But are these supplements safe for you to use? And do
they follow through on their promises? More studies are
showing that health and fitness supplements for women may
be a poor decision when it comes to the health of your
body, causing more problems than solutions.

One of the first things to keep in mind with health and
fitness supplements for women is that many of these have
not been scientifically tested. While they might say they
have been tested in their labs, this is not a definite
indication of quality. Since supplements are not monitored
by the FDA or tested before they get on the shelves, they
can contain harmful ingredients that are only found to be
harmful once people start reporting problems. Another
consideration is that those supplements that have been
tested may not have been tested on women exclusively. This
means that they may contain higher levels of some
ingredients that are safe for men but not for women.

Most fitness experts will tell you that health and fitness
supplements for women are not advisable. Not only are they
not addressing the problems or habits that have caused
weight or health issues, but they may be adding to the
problems at the same time. For example, when the diet pills
starting being sold with Ephedra, they worked great. They
gave users a lot of energy and helped them lose weight by
reducing their appetite. But as users started to report
heart palpitations and even some deaths, the safety of
these pills was called into question. For the time, they
were even taken off the market. While they're back on the
market now, this does not mean that they're safe for you to
take. Those items on the market may be ticking time bombs
in your body – and do you really want to be the test
subject?

Buying health and fitness supplements for women isn't the
answer to your weight and health woes. There are no quick
fixes when it comes to your health and to your weight. If
you want to lose weight, you need to exercise more and eat
less. These simple steps will not only allow you to
healthfully lose weight, but you can also ensure that no
unforeseen side effects occur along the way.

The health and fitness supplements for women that line the
shelves of stores might be appealing right now, but if you
were to have some of the awful side effects happen to you,
you might not feel the same way. Why not follow the common
sense advice that has worked for so many others? Sure, it
might take a longer time to lose the weight you want to
lose, but isn't that worth it when it comes to saving your
health?
