I didn't care about this stuff, until I found out some friends and family got sick from drinking it....So I looked into this "all natural/ safe" product...There is alot I know that the ppl selling it and taking it don't....I'll tell you a few..There are at least 3 appetite suppressants in it..

In the mix, so far I found 2 appetite suppressants..(Oxypregnane Steroidal Glyoside) (plant extract) . this is from the Hoodia plant and( Citrin k..).

Citrin K  caught my eye, so I started researching this..It comes from a fruit known as the Garcinia cambogia, or known as the Malabar Tamarind..They get Citrin K from the rind of this fruit that is full of  Hydroxycitric Acid ..Does anyone know what Hydroxycitric Acid is...Well I'll tell you..

Hydroxycitric Acid is what gave the diet supplement Hydroxycut it's name....The FDA pulled it from the shelves after a 19 yr old died and other ppl starting having problems with their liver.. it also had ephedra in it, which is now banned.. When the company disclosed the list of ingredients in Hydroxycut, the FDA MADE them take hydroxycitric acid out, because it is liked to Liver damage, muscle and Kidney disease, cardiovascular crises and siezures....since they revamped it, it's now back on the shelves..

There are a few names it goes by  to disquise Hydroxycitric Acid ...Don't take my word for it though, all you have to do is look into all the ingredients in the pink drink and not just go by what the company site tells you....one of their sites will tell you that Hydroxycinnamic Acid is NOT liked to Hydroxycut..that's because Hydroxycinnamic acid is derived from Cinnamon.. which is good for weight loss on it's own..

The Accelerator pill has 2 more appetite suppressants in it.. More of the Hoodia( which I found in the Propietary Blend)  and something called Phenylethlamine HCL..the more I looked into the Phenylethlamine, I also found the they also use this as a componant in anti-depressants...

Like I said, I'm still researching this stuff.. I can't find if there are clinical and scientific studies done on it,other than what the company itself did..

I don't take it, but was asked why I care about this.. It's only because I have 7 family /and friends who got sick from it ( prolly more than that) and I know more that is taking it..I don't want to see ppl i care about get sick... I'm not trying to tell ppl what to do... So if I can share what I've found and it helps someone, then I feel I've done a good thing..

So if you are drinking it and experience, headaches, diareaha/ explosive diareaha, fatigue, or constipation, abdominal cramping, bloating, excess gas.ect...this is prolly why...

Some one called the company and asked them about the Citrin k in it.. And the guy told them that it was safe for both liver and kidney..?????? He is CRAZY!. lol.. of course he's not going to say it's bad for you.. so please, don't take my word for it...I've looked at multiple sites and are still looking...I heard someone lost 14lbs in 6 days drinking Plexus Slim.. Do you think that much weight loss is really healthy??? You will lose LOTS  of water weight first and if you stop drinking it, you will def gain it all back because you've been dehydrating and starving your body..

....You have to consume calories in order to lose weight..Ppl that are drinking it is being told that is safe and natural and it only targets your adipose fat and won't damage muscle tissue.. Adipose fat, is just a fancy word for fat cells..Yes, too much of it can lead to diseases..There being told you don't have to stop eating what your eating or even exercise.. You can even drink it while your Pregnant, let your kids drink it,it's so safe (why would anyone want to lose weight while pregnant?)..Citrin K is bad for pregnant woman and kids..

Safe and healthy weight loss is about 2-3 lbs a wk.( You have to consume at least 3,500 calories in order to lose one pound)..you have to eat in order to burn calories..starving yourself does not burn calories, your body will go into survival mode and start storing fat because it thinks it's starving.( Just look up what rapid weight loss does to your body)...To lose weight healthy,drink lots of water, eat right, exercise, at least walking , eating raw fruits and veggies, stop the soft drinks and fast food........If something like this "Pink Drink" sounds too good to be true, I'll tell you.. It is too good to be true... I hope this helps someone..

Wow.  Do you 'haters' have nothing else to do???  I wonder if you take care of your kids as well as you do bogus research....  PlexusSlim WORKS and for those wondering if they should try it...DO IT!

I don't sell the product. My sister has taken it and has lost over 30lbs on it after her pregnancy. I've been reading enough women with fibromyalgia claiming once they started taking it they began receiving relief from the pain. I'm seriously considering trying it because of this because my fibro pain is out of control and all the prescriptions I take barely put a dent in it.

No one I know who's taken this ever gotten sick and everyone I know who's taken it has had results. My husband is starting to take it. We'll see. If he likes it and also gets results I'll buy it for myself. I am not interested in selling it.

I have been using Plexus Slim and the Accelerator for quite some time now - I LOVE IT !

I lost 15 pounds in my first 6 weeks alone ! My best friend lost over 35 pounds in 3 and a half months !

I have more than 45 customers, and every single one LOVES Plexus and is losing weight.

I have tried over 12 different diets and products in the past to help me lose some of this weight - the most I lost on any of them was 6 pounds - and I had to nearly starve myself to do that !

With Plexus , there is no diet to follow, no shakes, no meal replacements - eat your own food when you want !

I took the ingresients list & the amounts of each to 2 doctors BEFORE I started on Plexus - my own regular doctor was not skeptical at all once is saw how the products are combined and how much of each ingredient is in these products., He gave me the go ahead - said they are SAFE - so I started, he asked me to come back in 2 - 3 weeks to check my progress, blood levels, etc .

I have been borderline diabetic my entire life - when he checked my blood work again at 3 weeks of using Plexus - My levels were nearly perfect - WAY better than ANY time in the last 35 years !

He is now considering displaying Plexus in his office for anyone that has weight to lose, diabetes, and so on !

PLexus is safe, effective, easy ( less than one minute a day and you're done) !

I recommend it to anyone :)

p.s. sence were on the subject and you were curtious enough to give you opinion....with all do respect i did some research of my own on ur green tea...n it was easy n fast i just coped n paste so i didnt make it up lol dont need to!

  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • A rapid heart rate (tachycardia)

Everyone is free to consume what they choose.  For me, I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS PRODUCT AGAIN.  Ended up at the minor emergency clinic when my blood pressure rose to significant danger levels.  The physician asked if there was anything different I had done in the past five days.  When I told him about PS he said to throw away immediately.  He had seen other patients who had drank the pink stuff and advised me to immediately throw away the pink stuff and especially the accelerator.   Do what you want, but for me, never again will I take this product.  And please, no negative loser.  I tell it like it happened.

Okay...first things first...the name of the disease is Crohn's, and I doubt anyone said that Plexus Slim will "cure" it, considering that there is no cure.  Second, please refrain from posting damaging information.  It is ignorant and makes you look bad.  Also, you might want to use the "spell check" option.  I wouldn't even know where to begin about your atrocious grammar and spelling errors.
