Evidence notes & sources

For health and weight-management topics, we prioritize independent health authorities and systematic reviews. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements says there is little scientific evidence that weight-loss supplements work and notes potential medication interactions. NCCIH similarly cautions that many products marketed for weight loss have not been proven safe or effective. A Cochrane review found green-tea preparations produced a very small, statistically non-significant reduction in weight outside Japan and concluded the effect was unlikely to be clinically important.
