Is Trimspa Safe
Some people are wondering if the Trimspa weight loss pill is safe to use? There have been lawsuits and complaints reporting that the weight loss pill does not help them and allegations of false statements and information from the company, their distributor and their spokesperson Anna Nicole Smith. There have been many side effects from the product reported and there may be others which have not been reported. The possible side effects from the use of the Trimspa weight loss pill are insomnia, vomiting, swelling or blocking of the throat or esophagus, possible choking if not taken with an adequate amount of water, allergic reaction to shellfish, sensitivity to caffeine, anxiety, heart palpitations, chromium toxicity, migraines, and increased blood glucose. The pill should not be used with and antidepressant drugs. This can lead to reactions such as rise in blood pressure, nausea, rapid heartbeat, confusion, seizures, stroke, coma, and psychotic symptoms. Trimspa is not safe for everyone to use. It also will not help everyone lose weight. There are many reviews which report that the pill did nothing for them and some said the pill aided in their losing a few pounds then they gained it all back plus some after they stopped taking the Trimspa pill. The ingredients listed on the labels of Trimspa are chromium, glucomannan, cocoa extract, green tea extract, hoodia gordonii, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, glucosamine, HCL, citrus naringin, vanadium, and food coloring. The product can not be evaluated because of several secret ingredients Trimspa is keeping under lock and key and the amounts of the ingredients they do reveal. The company claims the reason for this is to keep others from stealing their formula. It makes one wonder about the integrity of the company and if their product is not what they claim, why would anyone want to steal something that does not work as stated. The lawsuits and complaints against them speaks for itself.
Anna Nicole Smith came on board as the Trimspa spokesperson in 2003 after she made the claim that she lost 69 pounds in 8 months after using Trimspa. However, it was later learned that she was also taking other aids to help her lose weight at the same time she was using Trimspa. After some tried Trimspa and it did not work for them as the company claimed it would, the lawsuits began. The Trimspa company, their distributor and Anna Nicole Smith were named in the lawsuits. The Federal Trade Commission also fined the Trimspa marketers $1.5 for making unsupported claims. The Marketers agreed to pay the fine on January 4, 2007. The sales of Trimspa has dropped for the past 3 years and some believe it may be the end of the Trimspa company.
