Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2014 -- Weight management was the worst performing category within consumer health in 2013, declining by 2% in current value sales terms. Although people take more care of their eating habits and more and more people would like to lose weight, they often do not find really effective products to support a healthy diet. Alli, which was introduced to Hungarian weight management in 2009 did not become successful due to its unpleasant side-effects and high price. Therefore, Alli was withdrawn in 2013 which also meant the end of OTC obesity within weight management. Other slimming products also reported decreasing sales as the formerly most popular Trim 24 Seven Patch became unavailable in Hungary.
