Does anybody take it? What have your results been with it? My husband has recently gotten some and I'm highly dubious of it just like I am any "miracle weightloss supplement".

    It'll work if he is in a calorie deficit, it won't work if he is in a calorie surplus. i.e, it's woo.

    As with all supplements, they don't count for much even if they do show benefit, but here is a link showing the benefits that are backed by studies.

    Is it supposed to be pronounced like "foreskin" with an extra syllable that really doesn't make it sound that different from foreskin?

    That seems like an oversight on the marketing departments part.

    I thought this was going to be about foreskin.

    Where do people find all these weird "weight loss" drugs?!?!? :| I wouldn't even waste my $$$ on stuff like that.

    Damn it. I was about to say "The only reason I clicked on this was because I thought you just misspelled foreskin". But now it wouldn't be original :/

    Ditto! Maybe that's how they lure people in.

    I have been taking it for about 6 weeks to balance out some thyroid issues. Totally improved my fatigue, haven't seen any changes regarding fat loss.

    Just a quick tip, OP. I would just cut it off, I mean out, of your diet.

    I don't take it, husband does. Only supplement I do is protein powder when I need to make up my protein number.
