Diet Patches

Diet patches are still a relatively new weight loss aid that is garnering attention and growing in popularity. Diet patches look like band-aids and they stick to the skin and help with weight loss. The active weight loss ingredients seep into the body via the skin, therefore suppressing the appetite while increasing metabolism. Diet patches contain the same ingredients found in oral weight loss pills.

Diet Patch Ingredients

In recent studies there has been a significant increase in diet patches that advertise the ingredient fucus vesiculosus as the active ingredient. Fucus vesiculosus is the brown algae that are found in the ocean which contains iodine. Manufacturers claim this ingredient stimulates the thyroid gland which then speeds up metabolism. Other ingredients that can be found in diet patches include guarana and flaxseed oil to name a copule and both act to increase metabolism. Some diet patches have ingredients that work as appetite suppressants such as yerba mate and zinc citrate which helps to create balanced weight.

Do Diet Patches Work?

Diet patches would seem to be a dieters dream! They are convenient and simple enough to use. However, the jury is still out on the effectiveness of diet patches and the topic has been very controversial. To date there is no clinical evidence that supports the effectiveness of diet patches. Although ingredients such as zinc pyruvate and green tea have clinically proven to aid weight loss when ingested orally, no studies have been conducted to support the theory that the same effects occur when applied to the skin.

Some experts argue that the needed amount of ingredients for fat loss must get into your blood stream within a short period of time for it to have maximum effect but this is not possible with diet patches as the ingredients are released over a period of time and not at once. While opposing experts argue that weight loss ingredients whether orally ingested or applied to the skin have the same effects on weight loss. To date there are not many studies available to prove or disprove diet patches and their effectiveness. But in the near future you should start seeing more studies about diet patches and their effectiveness as they become more popular.
