As the saying goes, you're entitled to your own opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts.

Weight loss supplements are useless scams. The only place they'll help you lose weight is in your wallet. The diet industry knows this and they're still making multi-billions of dollars per year from gullible people looking for a magic pill/potion that doesn't exist.

The supplement is disgusting to me. As much as I don't like the government over-regulating; this industry needs some better regulations in a major way. Some of the stuff flat-out doesn't work and they pray on people's emotions and clever marketing ads for products that don't work and / or carry some bad side-effects if used improperly.

Even when used properly, some people still; had to get liver transplants!

I remember reading a piece of research on Tribulus a few years back when it was marketed for it's Testosterone boosting properties. The research concluded it didn't do anything significant to boost Test, but some of the negative side-effects that are associated with synthetic Test were also present with Tribulus.

I really dislike the industry in-general.

I was only aware of this occurrence pertaining solely to weight management products prior, since weight riddance's within my realm; due to my own weight issues!

I was at in an ad for one of these products in 2001. The product I took had the stimulant ephedra as an active ingredient. I lost a lot of weight because of how I worked out and how I ate. Maybe the product helped a tiny bit and maybe it didn't. I can't say for sure 17 years later. Ephedra has since been taken out of these supplements following the death of major league baseball player Steve Bechler in 2003. I am currently fairly lean at a reasonable weight and feeling really good taking nothing but my blood pressure and cholesterol medications.
