These advertisers are simply trying to get you to spend your money with them. To be honest many of these products will have a positive effect in helping you reach your goal but not in the way most of these products claim. Besides, losing too much too soon is not healthy. Vitamins and herbs do not give us energy. Our body gets energy by burning calories from the foods we eat.
Vitamins act as catalysts and are required elements in our body's energy production process.
Many herbs may work to improve our body's bio-chemical processes thus making our body's ability to burn calories and produce energy more efficient. Eating a proper and balanced diet can provide you with all the essential vitamins and minerals you need. But let's be honest, who has the time, energy or knowledge to eat a balanced diet each and every day. Taking vitamin supplements can be beneficial especially if you have a poor or calorie restrictive diet. Research also continues to show that many nutritional supplements taken in higher doses than those possible to consume through the foods we eat may have positive effect on our health.
