This is a short overview of involuntary weight loss. It will help you understand what causes this problem as well as who is at risk of this problem.
Risk and Cause
People who experience involuntary weight loss experience a variety of issues. For one they are usually at a higher risk for infection, depression, and death. One leading cause of involuntary weight loss is depression.
Other causes of weight loss include the following:
- Cancer (lung and gastrointestinal malignancies)
- Cardiac disorders and benign gastrointestinal diseases
- Medications that may cause nausea and vomiting
- Dysphagia, dysgeusia and anorexia
- Polypharmacy (mixing of multiple medications)
Reasons for involuntary weight loss are not fully understood. However, additional reasons that have been discovered include increased breakdown of protein in the body, as well as gradual loss of lean body mass.
Possible Treatments
In conjunction with proper diet and exercise, anabolictherapy may prove beneficial to hundreds of thousands of patients. Oxandrin(r) is a synthetic anabolic agent similar in structure to testosterone.
However, oxandrin(r) differs from most forms of testosterone in that it is administered orally. This is what makes it more convenient to use. Importantly, it has also been shown to exhibit significantly more anabolic activity than testosterone.
In comparison to the few other oral anabolic steroids, oxandrin(r) is unique in that it is not primarily metabolized in the liver. The 5 mg tablet, oxandrin(r) is a cost effective therapy for involuntary weight loss.
As with all anabolic agents, oxandrin(r) is classified as a schedule iii controlled substance and has been assigned a class black box warning relating to liver and coronary artery disease.
About Weight Loss Aids
Weight loss solutions are often unsafe. This is one thing that often leads to involuntary weight loss.
Therefore, there is a need for safe and effective weight loss treatments. Otherwise, weight could be lost too quickly.
To lose weight in a healthy way you need to lower your intake of calories and increase your physical activity. There is no such thing as a miracle weight-loss product.
You should always be skeptical of products and programs that claim to keep weight off permanently. Otherwise, it could lead to unexplained and/or involuntary weight loss.
