Trimspa Ultra
Trimspa Ultra is just one of several varieties of the Trimspa weight loss pill. It is a pill that supposedly suppresses the appetite, promotes fat oxidation and stimulates thermogenesis. Trimspa claims that it is safe to use and effective. The average weight loss when used was 2.2 pounds in 4 weeks. Trimspa Ultra contains caffeine, microcrystalline cellose, stearic acid, dicalcium phosphate, aerosil 200, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate. It is recommended that you take 1 tablet 3 times per day, 1˛2 hour before meals with 8 ounces of water. Do not exceed more than 3 tablets per day. There are many reported side effects to the Trimspa weight loss pills. These are nausea, migraines, heart palpitations, insomnia, vomiting, allergic reaction to shellfish, chest pain, sensitivity to caffeine, trouble swallowing or breathing, swelling of the throat or esophagus which may cause choking if not enough water is taken with the pill, chromium toxicity, anxiety, and increased blood glucose.
There has been much controversy about Trimspa products. There are lawsuits, some pending, and many complaints that the products do not work. The Trimspa company was hurting financially because their sales had fallen tremendously by 2003 and was facing financial ruin. Trimspa heard that Anna Nicole Smith had made the statement that she lost 69 pounds in 8 months while using Trimspa so the Trimspa company brought her on board as their spokesperson. She was their spokesperson until her death on February 8, 2007. It is not known if she was still taking the Trimspa weight loss pills at the time of her death. Trimspa sales soared for a while until the lawsuits and complaints about the products began surfacing. There were lawsuits stating that Trimspa marketers were making false claims and that the Trimspa weight loss pills did not work as they claimed that they did. Anna Nicole Smith was also named in the lawsuits. It was discovered that Anna was taking other aids to help her lose weight while she was taking Trimspa. So it cannot be claimed that she lost the weight with Trimspa alone. There are many complaints that claim that the Trimspa products do not work at all or very little. Many have reported side effects which caused them to have to stop taking the weight loss pills. The trimspa company’s sales have dropped drastically in the past three years and some feel that the company is very near closure. It is thought that the combination of the lawsuits, the many complaints and negative reviews, fines to Trimspa marketers from the Federal Trade Commission, and the death of Anna Nicole Smith are all factors which will be the demise of the company. Only time will tell for sure.
