Weight management is a long-term process and must therefore, be associated with a long-term intervention
Medicinal ingredient with diuretic properties may be included in weight management products, however no diuretic claim can be applied as it is associated with a short-term duration of use (occasional use only)
Stimulant laxatives cannot be present at therapeutic dose in weight management products as their short term duration of use is not compatible with the duration of use for weight management
