Cellulite: There is no supplement fda approved for the treatment of cellulite. Please seek out a board certified plastic surgeon and express concerns so they can give you a reasonable approach to your concerns.

Yes be cautious: There has never been a n oral product developed that works for the treatment of cellulite. Most claims by manufacturers and not supported by critical scientific analysis.

Always be cautious: There are no supplements that improve cellulite I am sorry to say. Maintaining low body fat helps but still some people are genetically predisposed to cellulite. There may be some promise in a new laser cellulaze but it is very expensive and results vary between patients.
