I live in Mexico and the only place I've found spirulina has been in a tea w/other ingredients. Today, I happened to buy a box alcachofa infusion tea which has sold a tone in our Costco stores over the past year. I'm reading mixed reports that FDA has or hasn't approved it in the US. I also read a few testimonies that those who used it lost 7-8 pounds in a matter of two weeks w/out changing anything. One user said they developed heart palpitations which have not stopped. Spirulina is a herb to help boost energy. I, being in my 40's, have been drinking a tea with spirulina to boost my energy as I don't want caffeine and sleepless nights.

Has anyone had any experience with alcachofa infusion tea? Would like some more feed back.

    Ive heard of it. My cousin takes it and eats right and works out. She has lost about 50 lbs.... it took 5 months. I am sure it was more the eating right and working out that taking the alcachofa but she likes it.

    I literally just started this diet. I bought both the tea & the pills.
    I lost 2.5 pounds already and it has been three days.
    I don't feel jittery or any heart palpitations at all. I actually feel more energized
    Than anything. The pills are suppose to give you a fuller effect which they do in fact
    Because I'll have a banana and Oj and feel full all day. I'll snack on a piece of fruit
    And that's it for lunch, but it does take your hunger away.
    Ad I drink the tea at night before bedtime. I don't exercise,
    Unless its running after the kids lol. I'm a sitter So I'm always standing or walking
    It's worked so far! I'm glad I got it. The lady that sold it to me, lost 35 pounds in 3 months
