Some of the most often addressed topics on the Dr. Oz Show are health and fitness, and more often than entails a diet pill or a “miracle drug” as he refers to them. As catchy as this term is, however, it can give people false hope—in today’s fast-paced society people are looking for a quick fix, and are ready to try anything to shed the extra pounds in a matter of days.
What diet pills are recommended by Dr. Oz?
Dr. Oz has recommended Forskolin, FBCx, Raspberry Ketones, Yakon Syrup, and Garcinia Cambogia. These diet pills recommended by Dr. Oz have controversial scientific support, and Dr. Oz was the subject of a congressional hearing about his claims about the pills, especially in regards to the claims about Garcinia Cambogia.
List of Diet Pills on the Dr. Oz Show
Dr. Oz is well-known for his enthusiasm about promoting the latest supplements that aid weight loss. In some cases, these products show remarkable results; however, Dr. Oz’s claims are often refuted by medical professionals and may lack scientific support. Some products recommended by Dr. Oz were:
Forskolin was called “lightning in a bottle” and “a miracle flower” by Oz during one of his episodes this past January. The main chemical found in this pill is from the roots of the plant Plectranthus barbatus, which is used in traditional medicines to treat high blood pressure and heart disorders.
FBCx is another product that Oz said “is basically a fiber and we know that fiber, when taken correctly, is a very effective weight loss tool.” In essence, FBCx is a fiber called alpha-cyclodextrin, which is used to lower cholesterol and bind triglycerides. The abbreviation stands for “Fat Binding Complexer.”
Raspberry Ketones is a product that Dr. Oz called “a number one miracle in a bottle to burn your fat.” Raspberry Ketones is essentially a compound derived from red raspberries, which helps regulate adiponectin—a protein that affects metabolism.
Yacon Syrup is another breakthrough in the weight loss community that Dr. Oz introduced to his audience and labeled it “a metabolism game-changer.”
Last but not least, Garcinia Cambogia was first introduced by Oz in 2013. The main ingredient of this weight loss pill comes from the tamarind fruit, which is native to South-East Asia. It is known for its sour flavor, but more importantly for its digestion-stimulating properties.
Garcinia Cambogia and Dr. Oz’s Hearing
Garcinia Cambogia
When asked about what users can expect from this revolutionary pill, Dr. Oz claimed that one could lose up to 4 lbs in one month. According to Dr. Oz, these results can be achieved due to a cortisol decrease in the belly fat; in other words, Garcinia Cambogia helps block the formation of fat in the body.
During his show, Oz admitted he himself was intrigued by the extraordinary effects Cambogia can have on one’s body. It has been said that the extract of the tamarind plant just might be the “miracle ingredient that lets you lose weight without diet or exercise.” Additionally, what makes Cambogia an exceptionally effective fat buster, purportedly, is its property to suppress appetite, inhibit the production of body fat and increase natural serotonin levels.
Dr. Oz’s Congressional Hearing
Oz first promoted Garcinia Cambogia in 2013 as a “miracle drug” to help people lose weight; however, during his congressional hearing in 2014, he admitted that his claims had insufficient “scientific muster to present as fact.” The TV star did not advertise a specific brand, thinking it was the “ethical thing to do,” but the lawsuit called out a supplement seller Labrada, which labeled Cambogia as a “fat loss aid.” During the hearing, it was brought to Oz’s attention that he might be doing more harm than good when it comes to helping people with their weight-related problems. Consequently, he was also urged to take into serious consideration the dire repercussions his health-related advice can have. In his closing statement, Oz made it clear he would rather be a part of the solution and not the problem, promising people to deliver more science-based information in the future.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People was a late 19th to early 20th-century patent medicine containing ferrous sulfate and magnesium sulfate.[1] It was produced by Dr. Williams Medicine Company, the trading arm of G. T. Fulford & Company. It was claimed to cure chorea, referenced frequently in newspaper headlines as 'St. Vitus' Dance'; as well as 'locomotor ataxia, partial paralyxia, seistica, neuralgia rheumatism, nervous headache, the after-effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, [and] all forms of weakness in male or female.'[citation needed]
The pills were available over-the-counter.[2]

History[edit]
In 1890, G. T. Fulford & Company purchased the rights to produce Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People for $53.01 after encountering a pill prescribed by a local physician, William Jackson,[3] and began marketing it through Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Reverend Enoch Hill of M.E. Church of Grand Junction in Iowa, endorsed the product in many 1900s advertisements, claiming that it energized him and cured his chronic headaches.[citation needed] Eventually, the product came to be advertised around the world in 82 countries, including its native Canada, the United States, and Europe.[4] In the late 19th century, the pills were marketed in the UK by the American businessman John Morgan Richards.[5]
The Pink Pills were widely used across the British Empire and, as the historian of Southeast Asia Mary Kilcline Cody puts it, 'If the invulnerability magic of the sola topi, the spine pad and the cholera belt failed, Europeans could always rely on the Pink Pills to alleviate the pressures of bearing the white man's burden'. '[6] The Pink Pills were not only marketed in Europe; tales of its 'wonder' spread even to Egypt.[7]
In 1890, a successful Canadian businessman with journalism experience by the name of John MacKenzie helped to publicize the product. In 1892, he was made manager of the medicine company, and held that position until his retirement in 1929.[citation needed] When George Taylor Fulford, Sr., the Canadian senator that founded G. T. Fulford & Company, died in 1905 in an automobile accident,[8]George Taylor Fulford II became involved in the family business.
Today, the home of George Taylor Fulford, Sr. in Brockville, Ontario, Fulford Place, is a tourist attraction that showcases the success of patent medicine products. It was acquired by the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1991.[8] In 2001 they formally put a plaque outside his home with a brief biography.[9]
Ingredients[edit]
Coated in pink-coloured sugar, an analysis of the pills conducted in 1909 for the British Medical Association revealed them to contain sulphate of iron, potassium carbonate, magnesia, powdered liquorice, and sugar. Approximately one third of the iron sulphate in the pills had oxidised in the sampling analysed, leading to the statement that the pills had been 'very carelessly prepared'.[10] The formula went through several changes, and at one stage included the laxative aloe, the major ingredient of Beecham's Pills. The Pills were finally withdrawn from the market in the 1970s.[11]
