None that work: There are no really effective supplements that are designed for weight loss. Weight loss is a balance of diet and exercise and hormone balance. If you are 43 and you are doing everything to lose weight but not losing it, you should see an integrative doctor and get your hormones checked, they may be contributing to the problem.
