How old are you supposed to be to buy diet pills?

Diet pills and age: Diet pills are not regulated by the fda and therefore there are no age restrictions on purchasing them. It also means that diet pills can contain anything, good or bad. Diet pills also do not get tested in clinical trials. See the theme here? No physician would recommend a diet pill.
