Hello, I'm writing a story about "3 Common Supplements That Can Decrease Appetite And Pose A Risk After 60" and need expert quotes. If interested, please answer the following questions: - What are 3 common supplements people over 60 should be wary of taking? (Preferably some that reduce appetite, but can list any 3 common supplements) - Why? Thanks!

Once you're past 60, supplements that suppress appetite can do more harm than good. At that stage, the challenge isn't overeating—it's maintaining enough protein and micronutrient intake to support muscle, bone, and energy. Three common supplements worth caution are: 1. Green Tea Extract (high-dose EGCG formulas): While a daily cup of tea is fine, concentrated capsules can stress the liver and overstimulate the heart. Combine that with appetite suppression, and the risk of malnutrition increases. 2. Garcinia Cambogia: Marketed for weight loss, it blunts appetite through hydroxycitric acid. The problem is twofold—reduced hunger leads to lower protein intake (fueling muscle loss), and there have been reports of GI upset and even liver toxicity in sensitive users. 3. High-Dose Caffeine Supplements ("fat burners"): Caffeine suppresses appetite, but older adults are far more sensitive to its side effects: insomnia, elevated blood pressure, and even accelerated bone loss. That's the opposite of what you want in your 60s. Why it matters: After 60, lean muscle and bone density are your best insurance policies for independence and resilience. Supplements that cut appetite may sound helpful, but they can backfire by accelerating sarcopenia and compounding medication side effects.
