i was online looking at weight loss products and i noticed that a lot of products tell everyone under the age of 18 not to take these products. Could you tell me why please ??
For those under age of 18, their body is still in a developing stage and the dosage might be harmful to them. Over-the-counter (OTC) weight loss pills are probably the most popular diet supplement on the market. However, most of these drugs are not tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and therefore these products are not subject to the standard guidelines on advertising and dosage. Most OTC diet pills contain an unregulated amount of powerful amphetamine-like properties, which have been associated with serious health risk including permanent physical detriment and even death.
The side effects of taking OTC drugs are contributed from the way that variety of chemical compounds are bind together to form the final products. Because dosage instructions are inadequate in most of the drugs, it makes these supplements even more dangerous to the public. Possible side effects include rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, dizziness, nervousness, kidney damage and heart failure. Diet pills that work on the brain to suppress appetite have slightly different side effects which include hair loss, chest pain, fever, depression and heart damage.

Because they are potentially dangerous to your health. You know what isn't? Exercise and eating healthily.

They say that because those products contain a LOT of hormones that aren't good for you. They're not good for adults, but they're even worse for people under 18 because at that age, you are still developing (physically and mentally) and the excess hormones could really do some serious damage. But really: do you ever want to add excess hormones to your body? We make PLENTY as is.

teenagers (even if u are done growing) bodies are still in "work" mode where even though u may be done growing ur body is still trying to make ur bones strong, ur immunity strong, u need food for brain development, etc. also, u need to eat alot b/c teenagers have fast-paced metabolisms, and weight los sproducts take out that calories.

When you're under the age of 18, your body is still going through changes and isn't fully developed yet. Weight loss products, steroids, liposuction, etc., can be dangerous for the youth and not allow your body to go through its natural growth process.

Because they don't want to get sued if a minor uses their product and something bad happens. Most likely, at some point in time a minor took a weight loss supplement and was injured and the company ended up getting sued. So now, all these companies post the warning on their label saying anyone under 18 shouldn't use it. That way, if something bad does happen and they get sued, they can claim no fault because the user didn't abide by the directions.

because your body hasnt finished developing.growing yet!
to be honest no one should be taking them no matter how old you are.your just putting chemicals and other things that dont need to be in you body in there, does that sound safe?
the best way to lose weight is through exercise and eat sensabily, no fad diets, they work for a while, but never last. everything in moderation. just be active!
be intune with your body, it tells you all you need!

Actually nobody ought to take weight-loss products, simply because they are all manufactured and include alot of ci–lap material that the human body does not recognize, and thus the materials turn to toxins.
The best and healthiest way to stay fit is to stick to veggies and fruit and nuts, I eat alot of raw food and it works wonders.
All those protein drinks, powders, bars, etc, are full of dangerous chemicals that do you even worse.
Joe.
ps. The fact that most of these products are marked for 18 and over is due to that younger people and kids are more weak to those chemicals and so ther are protecting themself from being sued.

They say that because there is more of a risk for them if someone under 18 bought them used them and died or developed a major health problem because of them. If you are looking to lose weight don't turn to diet pills or fad diets. Please don't they are very bad for you and you will end up gaining weight in the long run. Get on a sensible diet that includes foods you like to eat, watch your calorie intake, eat fiber, and get some exercise. Cut out soda why drink your calories. I am living proof that it can be done without a pill or some wacky fad diet. Here is a link to my story I lost 80 pounds total about two years ago and I have kept it off. Even if you don't read my story please take one piece of advice I have for you do not go down the diet pill or fad road. Here are two links to articles that explains how bad pills and fad diets are to you. Good Luck!
