If you’ve been having a hard time losing weight, you may have considered taking a pill that has been advertised as a fat burner. Fat burners are a supplement that contains natural or artificial compounds. These supplements are supposed to help you slim down. 

Over-the-counter fat burners appeal to patients who want a way to magically treat obesity and believe that their benefits outweigh the risks. However, fat burner supplements may be neither safe nor effective. Read on to learn more. 

Fat burner supplements work by increasing your resting metabolic rate. The active ingredients help get rid of body fat. However, research is still needed on the effects of ingredients like caffeine on your heart rate and blood pressure. 

The effectiveness of fat burner supplements is still in question. Though they’re commonly used for weight loss, there’s not a lot of evidence that they work. These supplements claim to block fat or carbohydrate absorption, curb your appetite, or speed up your metabolism. At the same time, some of these supplements can interfere with other medications you are on. 

Fat burners work by elevating your blood pressure and increasing your overall energy expenditure, which may eventually lead to weight loss over time. You should take precautions if you already have high blood pressure, though, because taking these supplements could lead to hypertension.

Studies have shown that fat burner supplements might not work the way you want them to. They don’t make your fat cells magically disappear. Instead, they can work by helping weight loss in other ways. This includes: 

• Increasing your metabolism
• Reducing the amount of fat your body absorbs
• Suppressing your appetit

Fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidant vitamins and minerals (beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, and minerals zinc and copper) may play a special role in eye health.

These help protect your body from damage caused by destructive molecules called "free radicals." These destructive molecules are created during your body's normal processes. In excess, however, free radicals can cause cell damage, or oxidative stress, which is thought to play a role in the development of macular degeneration. Antioxidants neutralize the damaging effects of oxidative stress and help protect against cell damage.

Omega-3 fatty acids may also be important for eye health. The two omega-3 fatty acids that are believed to be the most relevant to ocular health are DHA and EPA. DHA and EPA are long-chain fatty acids found in most cells. In the eye, they are believed to help fight against age-related conditions by slowing free radical production and may also work together to reduce inflammation.

Fish is an excellent dietary source of omega-3. In fact, studies have shown that eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce the risk of macular degeneration progression.
