The Truth About Weight-loss Supplements
Unlike other pharmaceutical drugs, weight-loss supplements do not have to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration to be manufactured by stores, which means that the ingredients listed on the packaging could be misleading. Before taking any supplement, it is important to consult a medical professional in case of any adverse effects that it may cause. (U.S. Air Force graphic by Airman 1st Class Bonnie Grantham/Released)
