OTC Weight Loss Aids

Choose a specific OTC (over the counter) weight loss aid, or class of OTC weight loss aids and discuss the above questions. Evidence used to support your views should include information on the specific anatomy and physiology of the body system(s) your product claims to affect.
It’s vitally important with this topic that you find credible sources and real experimental published studies, not consumer websites.
You must use evidence from at least one outside reputable source in addition to your textbook.
