    You know.. the whole purpose of this site is to support each other and to learn. The immature rude comments just prove that ignorance is everywhere.

    ^^^^ THIS some of us believe in supplements. I love vitamins, I would rather take natural things than chemicals.
    I love vitamins, too, that's why I eat foods that contain them, rather than swallowing pills. To each their own.

    Wow, forskolin looks amazing! It causes you to lose fat, increase lbm and raise free test.

    Body Composition and Hormonal Adaptations Associated with Forskolin Consumption in Overweight and Obese Men. OBESITY RESEARCH Vol. 13 No. 8 August 2005

    Hmmm then you see the study was funded by the patent holder and other studies have been unable to duplicate the results

    Effects of coleus forskohlii supplementation on body composition and hematological profiles in mildly overweight women. J Int Soc Sports Nutr. 2005 Dec 9;2:54-62.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18500958?dopt=Abstract
    CONCLUSION:

    Results suggest that CF does not appear to promote weight loss but may help mitigate weight gain in overweight females with apparently no clinically significant side effects.

    Wow, it REALLY sucks that most of your comments aren't positive-- everyone on here is looking for encourgment and support-- not unneccesary comments. There is a multitude of ways to say something so you guys who are being negative should take a look into that---

    I have been using Relora for years now. It has not done anything for weight loss, but it is a very important part of my mental well being regime. It helps me stay calmer. Wouldn't be without it. I usually only take it at night before sleep. It is so subtle that I cannot tell when I take it, I can only tell when I don't.

    Dr. Oz recommended the following Best Belly-Blasting Supplements : 7 keto (to speed up metabolism), Forskolin (to burn fat), caraway seeds (for bloating), and Relora (to reduce stress)

    If you tried it , please share your experience.


    Hmmmmhhh??? She asked you to comment "if you tired it" !?!? If you didn't try it then move on. No one was asking for your opinions on Dr. Oz!!!

    If someone is repeatedly giving out bad advice pertaining to weight-loss, and this advice causes people to waste money on supplements that are essentially useless, don't you find value in other people pointing this out?

    I feel the same. Regardless of what I think of Dr. Oz, I checked into all of these after seeing an article. My primary concern was that at least 2 of them had adverse effects if taken with some prescription drugs. Bottom line...do your own research on any supplement, especially if you are taking other supplements or prescriptions.

    i agree. Most of the comments are uncalled for. We are here to give true advice and encouragement not our own opinions of people. That being said, it is best to always do research before taking anything. Even if your own dr recommends a pill you shoukd research it. Best of luck to you on this journey!

    if we all follow Dr.Oz's "tips" for weightloss we'd be broke, fatter and more stressed because of lack of results. There are only so many ways to lose weight healthily and he tells us none of that. probably because he wouldn't get paid for dropping companies products names.

    Good Luck if you try it but i'll stick with how i am doing it.

    You really don't have to follow every single tip he brings up on his show. Some stuff is informative and other stuff I am sure is just companies paying him to promote the product.

    Here's a little about Caraway seeds:

    Caraway promotes gastric secretion and stimulates appetite. It breaks down spasms in the gastrointestinal tract to prevent flatulence, but it is also used to treat menstrual cramps and gallbladder spasms. The German E commission reports that caraway seeds are an antimicrobial, and can relieve the feeling of bloating or fullness associated with indigestion and stomach complaints. Caraway oil is strongly fungicidal, having a stronger anti-fungal and anti-yeast activity than the prescription medication Nystatin. Caraway seed oil is used as a flavoring agent in pharmaceuticals, a fragrance in cosmetics and body care products, and is used in all major categories of food, from meat to candy to condiments.

    I use them for their anti-fungal qualities.

    Just like WWE Professional Wrestling.. "Most" of it is fake, rite?
