Scientific Use of Supplements Can Play a Positive Role in Weight Management
Against the backdrop of steadily rising global obesity rates, weight management has become a public-health priority.
Scientifically selected supplements can indeed support weight-management efforts.
Common weight-management supplements can be grouped by their mechanisms of action:
- • Caffeine and green-tea extract raise energy expenditure by increasing metabolic rate.
- • Green-coffee-bean extract (GCBE) and capsaicin-based ingredients modulate metabolism.
- • High-fiber compounds enhance satiety, helping to reinforce a reduced-calorie diet.
It is important to note that these products are not "slimming drugs."
The cornerstone of weight management remains a balanced diet and regular physical activity; supplements serve only as a beneficial adjunct to a scientifically sound lifestyle.
