Embarking on a weight loss journey is deeply personal—and it’s about so much more than the number on the scale. It’s about feeling stronger, healthier, and more in tune with your body. Along the way, you might explore different tools to support your goals, and supplements can be one of them.
In this post, we’ll walk through some of the most well-researched ingredients found in supplements that may help support your efforts. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to enhance your current routine, consider this a useful guide to help you make informed, confident choices.
How Supplements Can Help Support Weight Loss Goals
Trusted supplements can be a powerful way to support the healthy habits you’re already nurturing—like eating nutritious meals, staying active in ways that feel good to your body, and making time for rest and recovery.
While they’re not meant to replace these foundational practices, certain ingredients—backed by research—can offer complementary support along the way. The key is to view supplements not as shortcuts, but as companions—tools that can help you stay steady and supported as you continue your journey.
With the right information and a little curiosity, you can choose supplements with science-backed ingredients that align with your goals and help you feel good in your body.
Get Plenty of Fiber for Fullness and Digestion
Most people think they get enough fiber, but only 1 in 20 actually do.1 Think of fiber as your supportive ally when it comes to feeling full and staying on track with your weight loss goals. Found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, fiber adds bulk to your meals—helping you feel satisfied for longer. This can reduce the urge to snack or overeat, making it easier to maintain a balanced eating pattern.
Beyond fullness, fiber also supports healthy digestion which plays an important role in overall wellness. Including fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, peas and lentils—and supplements when needed—can be an effective way to nurture your body throughout your weight loss journey.

Try Moro Red Orange Extract for Weight Loss Support*^
Moro red orange is the most colorful fruit in the blood orange family. It’s packed with anthocyanins thought to be responsible for its many health benefits.* An extract of this nutritious powerhouse has been studied for its role in weight management.
For example, in a 2022 double-blind study, one group of participants was given moro blood orange extract and the other a placebo. Six months later, the supplement group showed weight loss in the form of a lower body mass, body mass index, fat mass, fat distribution, and waist and hip circumference.2
Are you wondering where to find a trusted moro red orange supplement? Here are three powerful options:
- Moro Red Orange Extract features Morosil,® a proprietary orange extract clinically studied to help support weight control and a healthy body composition.*^ It provides powerful support for weight loss, body composition, and a healthy hip and waist circumference.*^
- Her life STAGES Menopause is a doctor-formulated supplement that offers women support for menopausal symptoms including weight.* Morosil is a key ingredient in the formula, providing support for weight loss, along with overall body composition, and a healthy hip and waist circumference.*^

Her life STAGES Postmenopause addresses one of the most common concerns women have during postmenopause—managing their weight. That’s why this formula's scientifically backed ingredients include Morosil for potent weight loss support.*^
Don’t Forget Blood Glucose Metabolism
Many people don’t realize that glucose metabolism—the way your body processes and uses sugar—is closely tied to weight management. When you eat, your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which is then used for energy or stored for later. If glucose isn’t used efficiently, it can lead to blood sugar spikes and crashes, cravings, and the potential for excess fat storage over time.
That’s where healthy habits like regular movement and balanced nutrition come in. There are also supplements that can support your blood glucose on a daily basis:
- Berberine Extract provides potent blood glucose support that is derived from the root of Indian barberry.* It’s a trusted herb in Ayurvedic medicine that also provides overall wellness support.‡*
- GlucoReg is an advanced formula that features bitter melon, a fruit extract that provides powerful blood glucose support for people within the healthy range.* It also includes a bend of chromium and gymnema leaf extract for additional wellness support.*
Remember Probiotics for Digestion & Fat Loss^
Your gut microbiome—the diverse community of bacteria living in your digestive tract—plays a surprisingly important role in weight management. These tiny organisms help break down food, regulate digestion, and influence how your body stores fat and balances blood sugar.
A healthy, balanced microbiome supports nutrient absorption and impacts hunger and fullness signals. When your gut is in balance, it can make it easier to maintain a healthy weight. That’s why nurturing your microbiome through fiber-rich foods, fermented ingredients, and probiotic supplements can be a meaningful part of your overall wellness routine.
