Supplements that are affordable may be questionable

You might be tempted to save a few extra bucks by buying the weight loss supplements marketed in the bargain aisle of online and local retailers, but before you do so consider the pros and cons of doing so. The pro obviously is that you get to save some money while being able to use a dietary supplement. The con, however, is that you run the risk of using a low-quality formula -- one that may contain allergens and questionable ingredients.

An ingredient called Laminaria Extract can be found in supplements that are advertised as bargain buys. The formula is supposed to help address women's health and wellness issues, and it does not appear to be geared towards both sexes, let alone weight loss needs. The product is apparently priced at around $30 for one month, which is affordable compared to most supplements out there. However, you get what you pay for, and in this case that might not be the highest-quality product.
