Question 2

Alen is a 30-year-old college student who has recently lost 30 pounds. He lost the excess weight by watching his diet and by working out. He still would like to lose the last ten pounds he gained through his 20s, most of which is in his torso area. He has become frustrated because his weight loss has slowed down. He has seen on the Internet and in several fitness magazines a product advertized as a weight-loss supplement containing acai berry. The product ads state that the powerful antioxidants in the supplement will melt away fat and remove waste from the body while he is sleeping. Alen is tempted to purchase the product in an attempt to quickly lose his last 10 pounds. However, before he decides to purchase the acai berry supplement he learns that there are other ingredients in the product. The ingredients include ephedra, ginseng, coenzyme Q10, acai berry extract, chromium, potassium, caffeine, and chicory root. Which of the following dietary supplements has been scientifically proven to help people lose weight safely?
A) Pure acai berry extract
B) Chromium and potassium supplements
C) Multi-vitamin supplements
D) Ephedra
E) None of the above
