Supplements are everywhere in the South African weight loss market -- pharmacy shelves, Dis-Chem endcaps, Instagram ads -- and the claims range from reasonable to outright nonsense. This is our honest, evidence-based supplements section: we look at what's actually in each product, what the research says (and doesn't say), local ZAR pricing, and whether SAHPRA has flagged any safety concerns.
Note: No supplement replaces a proper diet and exercise plan. Always speak to a doctor or pharmacist before starting a new supplement, especially if you're on chronic medication, pregnant, or breastfeeding.
