“Trim Spa reviews”
In recent years, Trim Spa was one of the most recognized and sensational diet supplements to hit the weight loss market. Anna Nicole Smith was a well known celebrity who personally used and endorsed the pill, showing great results.
Thanks to the endorsement of this celebrity and how good her body looked after using the supplement, Trim Spa became widely popular and seen well in the public eye. Trim Spa requires users to exercise and follow a diet in order to achieve the results they are looking for.
The ingredients in the supplement help to increase your body’s metabolism, and reduce fat by increasing the speed that fat is processed in your body, helping you to use it more effectively as energy. When used properly, it should be able to increase your energy levels while burning fat in your body.
Makers of Trim Spa are found guilty!
The celebrity endorsement isn’t the only recognition, however, in the public eye. Trim Spa has been involved in their share of controversy as well. In January 2007, the makers of the supplement were forced to pay a very high fine of $1.5 million for making false claims. (http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2007/01/weightloss.shtm)
In addition to the fine they were given by the FTC, they also were told that they were not allowed to make any more claims about the effectiveness of their supplement unless there was scientific proof verifying it.
Even though that is something that should always be done for any health products on the market, it was unlucky for the TrimSpa manufacturers that they were the ones made the example of and fined for the claims.
Ingredients in Trim Spa
There are many different ingredients making up the Trim Spa formulation which are aimed at helping you to lose weight, but they don’t actually specify the amount of the ingredients in each pill. The ingredients are grouped together into what they call the “X32 Proprietary Blend”.
The following ingredients are what make up the proprietary blend:
• Cocoa Extract
• Hoodia Gordonii
• Glucomannan
• Green Tea Extract
• Cintrus Naringin
• Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose
• Polyphenols
• Glucosamine HCL
• Vanadium
Many of the ingredients listed are unknown to most people, and you won’t know the exact amount of these ingredients since they are put together into the proprietary blend of the supplement.
Chromium is another ingredient that is added into the blend that can help with weight loss, but its effect hasn’t been well documented in regards to effectiveness with the other ingredients in the formulation.
Final thoughts of Trim Spa
As with other supplements, it is very important to consult with your physician before taking TrimSpa. Even though it is an over the counter medication, there are many limitations of the supplement, especially if you are taking other medications. There are many prescription drugs that can cause serious effects when taken with Trim Spa, especially anti-depressants.
And, Trim Spa is one of the few products on the weight loss market which are not 100% pure. For unknown reasons, dyes have been added to the product. One positive is that Trim Spa is relatively affordable for most people. Three bottles of Trim Spa will cost you around $49.95 a month.
But, if you really want a good quality, pure product that will work for your weight loss, then Trim Spa is not for you. Once you see through the celebrity endorsement and hype, you will see the potential dangers to taking the product and seek more effective solutions.
