When it comes to feeling the pressure of looking good and staying in shape at all times, no one feels that burden as much as celebrities. Their diet plans and fitness routines often nab headlines, but some celebs are also known for the weight loss supplements they either promote or are rumored to have taken. Here are six weight loss supplements celebs reportedly swear by to help them stay fit.

Selena Gomez
Take this celeb rumor with a grain of salt: when Selena Gomez lost weight a few years ago, some claimed the star was getting a little help from Garcinia Cambogia. The supplement, derived from a tropical fruit, is said to curb your appetite and prevent weight gain, thought there is no scientific evidence to prove this. Gomez has never confirmed whether garcinia played a role in her impressive fitness regimen.
Kim Kardashian
It's no surprise that Kim Kardashian, known around the world for her curves, would promote a weight loss supplement like QuickTrim, which she told Ok! Magazine helped her lose 15 pounds super fast. The detox pills and powders in this line mainly help shed water weight and four of Kardashian's fans actually filed a lawsuit against her for claiming QuickTrim works without scientific backing.
Sarah Hyland
The Modern Family star has been harshly criticized by many who say she has lost too much weight (Hyland revealed her weight loss is the result of a medical condition that had her on bed rest). Before she got sick, Hyland was vocal about her fitness and nutrition routine and gave FitTea major props on Instagram for improving her health. The 28-day detox tea contains ingredients like ginger, Sencha green tea leaf, pomegranate, and garcinia cambogia.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens has promoted Bootea on her Instagram. The popular tea health supplement reportedly helps the body detox with ingredients like Chinese oolong tea, ginger root, fennel seeds, lemongrass, and caffeine. The company encourages customers to use it as an aid and not as a replacement for a healthy diet and warns anyone taking oral contraception that there is a possibility it could interfere with the pill's efficacy.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is yet another celeb who loves her detox tea supplement and has promoted the Matefit tea brand on Instagram. This 28 or 14-day cleanse is reportedly a natural appetite suppressant that boosts your metabolism and reduces excess water. Its ingredients include organic yerba mate, green tea, and oolong tea.
Khloe Kardashian
Khloe Kardashian swears by intense workouts and drinking plenty of water to get fit, but she is no stranger to trendy weight loss aids like waist trainers. As far as supplements go, Khloe has used her Instagram to promote everything from Sugar Bear hair vitamins to the Slender Blend shake, which is made from whey protein and has vitamins and minerals and has less than 150 calories per serving.
