Trimspa Ehedra
Trimspa used to have ehedra as one of their ingredients until the ephedra was banned in the United States. Trimspa then replaced the ephedra with hoodia gordonii which is a very good diet supplement which will work very well on its own. There are many diet pills which contain hoodia gordonii but if there is not enough of it in the pills it will not help much. It is reported that there should be at least 250 mg of hoodia taken each day in order for it to help you lose weight. It is not known how much hoodia is in the Trimspa diet pills because Trimspa does not list the amounts on the labels. They list some of the ingredients of their diet pills but they keep a few ingredients a secret and do not tell you how much of each ingredient is in each pill. You have no idea what you are taking and if you are allergic to some ingredients you may have serious side effects from the pills. Many people can not take the pills because they have certain medical problems and/or are taking certain medications which do not mix well with the ingredients in Trimspa. There are some who have taken the Trimspa pills and claim they did not help them at all. Others took the pills and lost a few pounds but gained them back after they stopped taking the pills plus gained more back. There are many who cannot take the Trimspa pills because of the many possible side effects and some people had to stop taking the pills because of side effects.
The Trimspa company has been sliding downhill for the past three years because sales have fallen off. There have been lawsuits filed against the company (some still pending) and against Anna Nicole Smith for false advertising and for making misleading statements about their diet pills. Anna Nicole was the company’s spokesperson from October, 2007 up until her death in February, 2007. She had claimed to have lost 69 pounds in about 8 months while taking Trimspa but it was later learned that she had also been taking other aids to help her lose weight at the same time she was taking the Trimspa. The company was fined $1.5 million by the Federal Trade Commission for false advertising and for making statements about their diet pills that they did not have scientific proof to back them up. The company agreed to pay the fine but claimed that it was not an admission of guilt. They just wanted to get the FTC to drop their investigation they had going on their company.
