What Is Diet Rx?

If you find yourself struggling to lose weight because every diet you've tried leaves you feeling hungry, Diet Rx may be able to help. This herbal supplement is formulated with a blend of ingredients that may provide appetite control and reduce cravings for sweets and other high calorie foods. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, this can help you more easily reach your weight loss goals.

  1. Suggested Use

    • Diet Rx is available without a prescription through various websites, and free samples are often offered upon request. According to the manufacturer, you should begin by taking two capsules of this supplement at least 30 minutes before eating breakfast or lunch. Then, once you've had time to adjust to the supplement, you can increase the number of capsules to three or four per day, depending upon your weight loss goals. You should take a few break days each month, however, in order to give your system time to balance out.

    Ingredients

    • Diet Rx contains a special blend of ingredients to promote weight loss, including green tea extract, hoodia extract, ginger root, cinnamon root, apple cider vinegar, apple pectin, grapefruit extract, fenugreek, pomegranate and psyllium. Unfortunately, the exact amounts of each ingredient in the supplement are not listed on the package. The manufacturer says this step is necessary to prevent other companies from copying the formula.

    Differences from Other Supplements

    • Diet Rx is different from other popular weight loss supplements on the market in that it contains no caffeine, ephedra or ephedrine alkaloids. If used according to the product directions, the manufacturer says the supplement will not make you feel anxious and excitable. In fact, the green tea and hoodia in the supplement may improve your energy and balance your mood.

    Drug Interactions

    • If you are taking prescription medications, such as drugs to treat a thyroid condition or antidepressants, speak with your health care provider before taking Diet Rx. While the manufacturer's studies have not shown any adverse side effects from the supplement, it is possible some of the ingredients may cause certain prescription medications not to work properly.
