How safe and effective is acacia powder for weight loss?

Dr. Victor Bonuel answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

It's very safe : Because it's extracted from the acacia tree. It's effectiveness on weight loss depends on the individual. Its fiber content supposedly makes you full easily thus lessening your food intake.Diet, exercise and lots of discipline are still the cornerstone to losing weight.Best of luck!
