Chinese Diet Pills: What to Look For and Avoid

Chinese Diet Pills

[message type=”info”]Chinese diet pills are dietary supplements produced in China, and have a reputation for being unreliable. Although they might work in some cases and produce great weight loss results, it is important to note that many of the pills contain very dangerous inactive ingredients such as carcinogenic chemicals and medications not meant for human consumption.[/message]

The most dangerous part of Chinese diet pills is that they are just one click away. Most people purchase them online, from unreliable sources. The list of ingredients is not always accurate, and in most cases the buyer does not even know for certain if the product is tested and FDA approved.

Why do people buy these potentially dangerous products? There are two main reasons:

  • Chinese diet pills are available and easy to purchase
  • The diet pills are very cheap; one month’s supply costs less than $20.
