Considering their effect on weight loss, there are consolidated studies showing remarkable ability at controlling weight for all of the dietary supplements. Even though side effects exist, they are relatively safe. I strongly recommend customers do their own research before buying any dietary supplements, since many other supplements have minimal scientific proof. Everyone is unique and these supplements might work differently in different people.
