Hi y'all!

Do herbal supplements affect MFast weight loss in any way? Just wondering, because I take some multi-complex herbal supplement for peri-menopausal symptoms and some nights a Melatonin to aid sleep. Gosh, I hope it doesn't adversely affect weight loss, but I'd like to know. Surely don't want to do anything to slow it down; but, I also don't want to be sleepless and cuckoo

Thanks!

I really don't think that herbal supplements would be any different than the regular vitamins so I THINK you are ok. There is a list of medications that affect Medifast in the Quick Start book but I don't think there was anything about herbal supplements. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Flamingogal! I'm no expert by any means, but I would guess it would depend specifically on which supplements you are taking. I don't think melatonin should affect your weight loss, but not positive on that. I take 5htp on and off and have had no problem with that at all. I also took Valerian for a short time and no problem there either.

Sorry I could be of more help! Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your input. I have researched any side effects, and I can't find weight gain for them. You never know, though. I guess I'll find out on weigh day!

Stay focused, happy and shakin'!
