Listen "Boosting Metabolism: Evidence-Based Supplements for Weight Loss"
Episode Synopsis
While no single pill can replace the fundamental strategies of diet and exercise, certain supplements have demonstrated a modest, scientifically supported ability to aid weight loss by targeting metabolism and appetite control. The most reliable options work through two main mechanisms: thermogenesis and satiety enhancement. Green Tea Extract and Caffeine are the leading thermogenic agents, containing compounds (like EGCG and caffeine) that help increase the body's calorie and fat-burning rate by raising the basal metabolic rate. For appetite control, Glucomannan (a dietary fiber derived from the konjac plant) and other fiber supplements are effective because they expand in the stomach, promoting feelings of fullness and thereby naturally reducing overall calorie intake. It is crucial to note that these supplements offer only marginal benefits and must be used in conjunction with a caloric deficit, ideally after consulting a healthcare professional to ensure safety and appropriateness.Read article - What Are the Best Weight Loss Supplements in 2025?
