Best herbal ingredients

[brightstar]

What would you guys say are the best herbal ingredients on the weight loss market? I know that none are proven, but which ones have you tried that you seem to have found work for you.

I think the one that honestly works the best is caffeine or green tea (with caffeine). I can at least feel the effects from it and I do feel more mentally focused and a little more energized.

I think I would have to say green tea and probably vitamin B12...although I don't know if Vitamin B12 counts as a herb lol. Still, I like it!

I think it's green tea. This isn't just because it has caffeine in it. I also think it's Eccg (?) properties are highly beneficial to your metabolism. Other than that though, I can't really think of a herbal ingredient that I'd say is great. I suppose the question is what are you hoping the herbal ingredients will do for you (e.g. burn fat, suppress appetite, etc.).

You raise a good point antoniojones1968. It is a matter of what you are hoping the herbal ingredients will do. If you want appetite suppression, for instance, you might try garcinia cambogia, hoodia or african mango. I"m not saying that any of these would work, but they are believed to do this. That said, I have to agree that I've really only ever heard good things about caffeine and green tea.

I have to agree with bonniekins, the only real way to know is to be a guinea pig. No herbs have ever been proven effective for weight loss, so really, I would say try the ones that have the best studies.

I agree! I would also add that make sure you aren't allergic to whatever you try. :)
