    I have a co-worker who is using it and he swears it works great- lost 13 pounds this month so far. So I looked it up started looking into the active ingredients: Chlorogenic acid.

    So I started looking at what kind of biological effects it has and found on Wikipedia the primary effect is as a laxative.

    So, sure it works. Any laxative will stimulate weight loss in the short term. First as it dehydrates you, then as it deprives the body of nutrients.

    I should add, that my co-worker lives off of fast food and processed foods. I have a feeling that if he was to eat a healthy diet with the proper amount of fiber and nutrients, this supplement would have him feeling very uncomfortable.
