Learn about hidden ingredients in weight loss products so you can make informed decisions about buying or using them.

Here's What You Need to Know

  • Many products that claim to help with weight loss—such as diet pills; fat-burning pills; and weight loss supplements, pills and teas—are likely to be contaminated with dangerous hidden ingredients. 
  • These contaminated weight loss products are a type of medication health fraud.
  • These products are sometimes falsely advertised as dietary supplements, food and/or all-natural treatments. They often have multiple positive reviews and/or are being shared through social media.
  • These products pose a serious health risk and are not guaranteed to work. They can lead to severe health issues and hospitalization.
  • These products are sold online and in stores.
