Weight Loss Supplement
Make sure you know exactly what is in your weight loss supplement and how it will affect your body before you take it. Many weight loss supplements that say they are "ephedra free" have replaced this harmful ingredient with bitter orange, an extract that may be just as dangerous as ephedra. It can lead to high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, and stroke.
In addition, bitter orange can block the metabolism of other drugs, which means it will take more of them to have the same effect on your body, and that could lead to very dangerous health conditions. You should always check with your doctor before you begin taking any weight loss supplement, and you should avoid any weight loss supplement that contains bitter orange.
