Can a 13 year old be taking a weight loss supplement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but why?: Supplements don't help people lose weight! that's through diet and exercise. Supplements are a waste of money, particularly for a 13 year old where they could have adverse effects depending upon the ingredients. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
