Trimspa With Ephedrine
Trimspa with ephedrine was one of the first diet pills that Trimspa sold before ephedra was banned in the United States. Ephedra was a natural herb but it had very dangerous side effects. After ephedra was banned, Trimspa added Hoodia Gordonii to their formula. Hoodia Gordonii can work alone as a weight loss product and it has been stated many times that it is best to use the all natural Hoodia Gordonii with no additives or other ingredients. There have been many positive results from those who have used pure Hoodia Gordonii. It is one of the most sought after weight loss products on the market. Trimspa has Hoodia Gordonii, green tea extract, cocoa extract, glucomannan, chromium, carboxymethylcellulose, glucosamine, HCL, citrus naringin, and vanadium. There have been many side effects reported from the use of Trimspa diet pills. Many people say that the pills do not work for them and others say they helped a little but they gained the weight back, plus some, after they stopped taking the pills. Some say that the popularity of the Trimspa weight loss products is due to the smart marketing and ad campaigns. There have been so many complaints about the pills not working that their popularity can not be because of them.
Anna Nicole Smith became the spokesperson for Trimspa in 2003 and was up until her death on February 8, 2006. She was in commercials and ad campaigns which had drawn a lot of attention. Before she became the spokesperson for the company, Anna claimed that she had lost 69 pounds in 8 months while taking the Trimspa weight loss pills. She later stated that she had also been taking other aids to help her lose weight at the same time she was taking Trimspa. The Trimspa company was hurting financially because of lack of sales before Anna went to work for them. Her presence in the commercials and banner ads boosted the sales for a while. For the past three years the sales had again been falling and some think this may be the end of the company this time. Some do not believe they will bounce back this time. There are still law suits pending against the company and many complaints about false advertising and the fact that the weight loss pills do not do what the company claimed that they would. The Company also agreed to pay $1.5 million for a fine from the Federal Trade Commission for their false claims and not having the scientific proof to back up their statements of what the products could do for people. Only time will tell what the future of the Company will be.
