Has anyone tried this supplement? Results? Side effects?

THANKS!

    In the words of the 'Hodge twins' themselves 'This is just another b@!!$h!t supplement'. It's like the raspberry ketones craze and the green coffee bean craze. Honestly don't bother and save yourself the headache. If you choose to google reviews and opinions about it then I invite you to take a look at who is 'sponsoring' or 'backing' the review. In most cases it's a company that will benefit from the review and there will usually be a link to where you can buy some.

    Don't do it, so far its just another fad with no convincing evidence it does anything except lighten your pocketbook, and cause stool loosening in some.

    Thanks to all! I did google it - of course for every one "pro" there's a "con". That's why I came to the community for REAL info!

    THANKS!

    Pharmacy student here. We had to do quiet a few case studies on this. There is no real efficacy. Theres no major side effects, so your not at risk trying it, but no real evidence to support weigh loss

    I don't know anything about it, but apparently they engage in some lousy marketing practices, like signing you up for automatic delivery after a "free trial" unless you read the super fine print. Send them your CC info for shipping and handling charges and you may be in for a nasty surprise.

    That by itself is enough for me to want to avoid them. The makers of a truly helpful product shouldn't need to con people into buying it.

    This ↑.

    All that it did for me is have more frequent bowel movements. When I go a day or so without having to poop--I take Garcinia and walla--poop. Lol
