Weight-loss and detox supplements often include hidden dangers in the form of stimulants, diuretics, and laxatives. Ingredients like synephrine, caffeine anhydrous, and dandelion extract might sound harmless but can alter kidney filtration rates, lead to dehydration, and disturb electrolyte balance. The liver is also forced to metabolize synthetic additives, which can result in oxidative stress. Ironically, many of these products claim to “cleanse” the body, but they can instead increase toxic buildup in vital organs. Worse, most of these products lack solid scientific backing or safety data.
