Update 7/10/20. Plexus Slim is billed as an “affordable weight management product” that boasts “no ill side effects” based on “extensive clinical research.” Impressive, but does PlexusSlim work or is it a scam? And does it really have no side effects? I was tipped off to Plexus Slim by one of the readers of this website. After looking at its ingredients, I wanted to write a review of Plexus Slim because of the words used to describe the product and because Plexus Slim seemed to have ingredients that I have never heard of before. Let's see what we can discover about this weight loss drink. Also read my review of the Plexus Accelerator Plus (Accelerator +) and Plexus Boost, Plexus ProBio5 and Plexus Hunger Control after you read this, for additional information.
Update: The formula for Plexus Slim was changed a bit since this review was written so also read the review of the new plexus slim formula.
Who Makes Plexus Slim?
According to the Better Business Bureau, the company that makes Plexus Slim – Plexus Worldwide Inc. – was started in 2005 in Arizona. The address of the company is 7440 E. Karen Dr. #400, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.
Update. PlexusWorldWide.com, the company website, now lists this corporate address: 15649 N. Greenway Hayden Loop Scottsdale, AZ 85260. Googling this address shows a large building that says “Plexus Slim” on the outside. That's good.
Update. The Better Business Bureau now lists this address for the company: 9145 E Pima Center Pkwy Scottsdale, AZ 85258-4627
The BBB gives Plexus Slim a rating of “A+” See the BBB file for updates and other information.
To buy Plexus Slim it looks like you either have to buy it from the company or through a PlexusSlim distributor. They call Plexus Slim distributors “Ambassadors“. On the Plexus Slim website, they have a calendar of Plexus Slim events.
These events serve not only to sell Plexus Slim but also to recruit new Ambassadors. Plexus Slim has a multi-level marketing (MLM) aspect to it.
I have no problem with MLM. If the product is reputable, MLM allows people to make an income which can be significant.
Plexus Slim Nutrition Information
In an effort to keep this review up to date, here are the ingredients in Plexus Slim as they appeared in 2016. According to the label shown on the product website, each packet of Plexus Slim has the following nutrition information and ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount Per Serving | Percent Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 10 calories | |
| Total Carbohydrdate | 3 grams | 1% DV |
| Chromium Polynicotinate | 200 micrograms | 167% DV |
| Plexus Slim Blend (composed of the following) | 530 mg | N/A |
| Garcinia Cambogia Fruit Extract | ||
| Green Coffee Bean Extract | ||
| Alpha Lipoic Acid |
In the table above, N/A means no daily value established.
Each of the ingredients will be summarized below. I will leave in the summaries of the ingredients present in the original plexus slim formula too to help others doing their own research.
See the review of the new plexus slim formula too.
Plexus Slim Ingredients
Polydextrose
This is a type of soluble fiber. In theory, this might help weight loss since it has no calories and is a type of fiber. Polydextrose might cause gas and bloating.
Citric Acid
In some products, citric acid is used as a preservative and to enhance flavor. While it naturally occurs in citrus fruits, its use in foods/ supplements may be from natural or synthetic means.
Beet Root
If Plexus Slim uses the entire beetroot, the fiber content of the beetroot might help foster some weight loss because it adds bulk to the stomach contents. That said, I can't locate any evidence that beetroot helps people lose weight. The product label states the beetroot is to give the product color. Beets do have a red color. Beetroot probably contributes to the pink color of the product.
Beets and beetroot juice have gotten attention from the scientific community because of their ability to raise nitric oxide, a compound that can relax blood vessels, allowing blood to more easily travel through the body. See my review of SuperBeets for more on this topic.
Grape Skin Extract
Grape skin contains phytonutrients such as proanthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins which act as antioxidants. While this is very good, does grape skin extract help people lose weight? Other than having some fiber (which might act as a laxative) I can't find any proof that it does.
Update. I'm told Plexus Slim no longer contains grape skin extract
Lo Han Extract
The scientific name for this ingredient is Siraitia grosvenorii. This is also called “lou han guo” and “monk fruit.” By either name, it's often used as a sweetener. This ingredient, like steveia below, is likely added for flavoring.
Stevia
This is a sweetener. Some supplement companies may call it by another name -“rebaudioside A.”
Stevia is added to many low-calorie foods. In theory, using low calorie (or no-calorie) sweeteners might help weight loss but I'm not sure if this is the answer. There are MANY low-calorie foods and beverages on the US market, yet Americans are not slimmer than they were, say, in the 1980s.
Natural Flavors
They don't tell us what these natural flavors are. To be fair, most companies don't. They don't have to under the law. Regardless, I doubt any of them play a role in weight loss.
Green Coffee Bean
This is also called Chlorogenic Acid. One study published in 2010 noted that chlorogenic acid helped weight loss and increased fat burning when in rats that were fed a high-fat diet (37% of calories from fat).
This is interesting even though it's a rat study. Another rat study also noted that mulberries (which also contain chlorogenic acid) helped the weight loss. But was it the chlorogenic acid – or all the other stuff mulberries?
In one small study 16 overweight people were given either a placebo or different amounts of green coffee extract (which contains chlorogenic acid) at either 700 mg or 1050 mg day for 6 weeks (each person was given each treatment for 6 weeks).
People getting the green coffee extract (both dosage amounts) were shown to have significant reductions in body weight, body mass and percent body fat compared to placebo. The type of green coffee extract used in this study was supplied by Applied Food Sciences Inc.
Retracted
It sounds great BUT, the study has been “retracted.” This means it should not be considered as evidence due to errors with how the study was performed. In the words of the authors, the study was retracted because the authors could not “assure the validity of the data.” Click here to read the retraction.
See the Green Bean Coffee Review for more information.
See the weight loss supplement scam review.
Rosmarinic Acid
This is a plant chemical found in many herbs, including rosemary. This is probably where Rosmarinic Acid gets its name from. Rosmarinic acid has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. I was unable to find any studies showing that Rosmarinic Acid helps weight loss in humans or animals.
Hydroxycinnamic Acid
This compound is an antioxidant but whether or not it contributes to weight loss needs further study.
Garcinia Cambogia
This was originally called “Citrin K” when I first reviewed Plexus Slim. Garcinia cambogia is found in MANY weight loss supplements because of some research that it might reduce appetite and help weight loss. Right now, I think all anyone can say is maybe it works or maybe it doesn't work.
In this study, 500 mg of garcinia Cambogia did not help people lose weight. I mention this because if this study is correct, then it might take more than 500 mg of garcinia Cambogia if it's going to work. The entire proprietary blend in Plexus Slim adds up to 530 mg. While Garcinia Cambogia is the first ingredient listed – which presumably means it makes up the most of the blend – how much that equates to, I cannot say.
See the Garcinia Cambogia review
Also, read the review of supplements linked to liver failure.
Alpha-lipoic Acid
This is an antioxidant and it helps it turn carbs into energy. It can also help regenerate other antioxidants, which is pretty snazzy.
There are a few studies of alpha-lipoic acid and weight loss. In one study, alpha-lipoic acid was randomly given to 360 obese people for 20 weeks. Half got a placebo and half got alpha-lipoic acid (either 1200 mg/day or 1800 
In another study, 1127 overweight people were given 800 mg of alpha-lipoic acid a day for 4 months. This study noted that alpha-lipoic acid, at the dosage given, helped people lose about 8% of their body weight over 4 months.
So if you were 200 pounds, alpha lipoic acid might help you lose about 200 x .08 = 16 pounds. That is a significant amount in my book.
One possible problem with this study though was that it doesn't appear that there was a placebo group to compare the weight loss too. I was also unable to determine (because I only read the summary of the study) if people combined alpha-lipoic acid with eating fewer calories (I think they might have ).
Alpha-lipoic acid is the last ingredient listed in the proprietary blend. As such, it likely makes up the least of the 530 mg total.
Oxypregnane Steroidal Glycoside
This is a pretty fancy name but you have heard of this stuff before. Oxypregnane steroidal glycoside – is just a fancy way of saying Hoodia! Here is a study that proves that both names mean the same thing.
I think they call it Oxypregnane steroidal glycoside because they are trying to make the product sound different and special. In reality, it's just hoodia Gordonii.
The other fancy name for hoodia is P57AS3 – you have probably seen this listed in other supplements as “P57“.
I've already reviewed hoodia and weight loss. Other supplements that I've reviewed previously that contain hoodia include the
For at least 10 years, hoodia Gordonii has been in more weight loss supplements than you can shake a stick at – but there is no good proof that hoodia supplements help people lose weight.
Study. Researchers gave hoodia or a placebo to 50 overweight people for 2 weeks. The people in the study were allowed to eat as much as they wanted from a menu provided by the researchers. Results: hoodia did not cause any weight loss.
While no serious side effects were reported, researchers did note that people who got hoodia had higher blood pressures and heart rates compared to people who got the placebo. Hoodia also seems to cause elevations in bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase. What caused these changes I do not know.
Update. Plexus slim no longer contains hoodia. See my review on the New Plexus Slim Formula for more info on how it has changed.
Chromium Polynicotinate
Plexus slim contains a type of chromium they call “amino nicotinate”. This is fancy talk for “chromium nicotinate”. (it is now called “chromium polynicotinate on the label).
You may have heard Dr. Oz talk about chromium polynicotinate on TV. I reviewed what Dr Oz had to say about this form of chromium and I am guessing that this is why Plexus Slim includes chromium nicotinate over the sometimes more popular, chromium picolinate.
Chromium may help lower blood sugar levels but as for its effects on weight loss, I am highly skeptical. For more on chromium, see my reviews of chromium weight loss research and chromium polynicotinate.
Blood Sugar Lowering Ingredients
As a quick reference, the following ingredients might reduce blood sugar:
- Alpha-lipoic acid
- Chromium nicotinate (now called chromium polynicotinate)
Fiber Ingredients
As a quick reference, the following ingredients all might add fiber to Plexus Slim:
- Polydextrose
- Grape skin (no longer in plexus slim) See my review of the new PS formula.
- Hoodia (maybe. no longer in Plexus Slim)
How Much Does Plexus Slim Cost?
One of the slogans for Plexus Slim is “At last, an affordable weight management product.” I guess that depends on how you define “affordable”. On the Plexus Slim website, they have different prices depending on whether you want to buy it just once or be billed each month automatically.
If you want to buy Plexus Slim one time only, its $84.95. If you want to be billed automatically at the 15th of each month, Plexus Slim is $79.95/ month.
Is Plexus Slim OK When Breast-Feeding?
Some women have wondered if they can take Plexus Slim while they are breastfeeding? That's not something I would recommend because if any of the ingredients in Plexus Slim pass into breast milk, then their baby will be getting those ingredients too.
I don't know for sure if any of the ingredients do get absorbed into breast milk, so I do recommend that women take the ingredients in Plexus Slim to their doctor to see if they can get a better answer.
How Much Caffeine?
The Plexus Slim Nutrition label states that it has less than 2% of naturally occurring caffeine. My guess is that the caffeine comes from the green coffee bean extract because this statement is listed next to the green coffee bean ingredient on the label. I'm not sure how much 2% natural caffeine equals.
Plexus Slim and ADHD
Since writing this review I've heard that this product may be marketed to help Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A search on Google reveals several testimonials from people saying that it helps. I became curious and searched for “Plexus ADHD research.” I searched Google for this phrase and I also searched the National Library of Medicine too.
I saw no clinical studies on this topic. Therefore, whether it Plexus helps ADHD or not is unknown as far as I can tell. Nobody appears to have undertaken the chore of taking this stuff into the lab and actually tried to really see if it helps or not.
The same thing also seems to be true for bipolar disorder and depression. I cannot find any evidence Plexus Slim directly helps either of these conditions either.
Having said that, lack of evidence doesn't necessarily mean something does not work. Rather, it just means that it seems that, other than testimonials (from people most of us don't know), there doesn't seem to be any good proof for it yet.
How To Contact Plexus Slim
PlexusWorldWide lists this contact phone number: 480-998-3490 which people can call 6 AM-6 PM (PST) Monday -Friday and 9 AM-2 PM (PST) on Saturday.
How To Return Plexus Slim
Plexus Slim products come with a 60-day money-back guarantee. For those who purchased from Plexus Ambassadors, contact that person for details on how to return the product, or call the company itself at 480-998-3490.
Does Plexus Slim Have Any Side Effects?
On the Q and A page of the Plexus Slim website (question 7) where it's asked: “Will Plexus Slim interfere or react with any medications or other supplements?” the makers say: ” No. Extensive clinical research has demonstrated no ill side effects with any medications or other supplements.”
Where is all the “extensive clinical research” on Plexus Slim? As far as I can tell, Plexus Slim has NEVER been tested in published studies to see if it interacts with any medication or health condition.
The only study I've seen on Plexus Slim is a summary of a study they show on their website. This is a study from 2008 where they gave the product to 8 people with type II diabetes. Yes, improvements were seen in blood sugar, body weight and other things, but this is not a published, peer reviewed study. As such, there is a lot we are not told about how this study was conducted. It may be the best study in the world, but if we can't see how it was conducted, then it can't be duplicated by other scientists.
That said, in healthy people, I think Plexus Slim (the pink drink product) is safe. Below are some theoretical side effects based on its ingredients.
Grape skin. Some components of grape skin might interfere with medications such as Coumadin (a blood thinner). I'm not aware of any human evidence of this, but because blood thinners can intact with many things, its best to talk to a doctor about this. Update. grape skin is no longer in plexus slim
Chlorogenic acid. This compound might raise homocysteine levels in humans. Homocysteine is a somewhat controversial molecule because some feel it might be linked to heart disease.
See my review of chlorogenic acid for more info.
Citrin K/ Garcinia cambogia. There is some controversial evidence that Garcinia Cambogia may be linked to liver problems. Personally, I'm not yet convinced it does this. For more info on this see my review of garcinia Cambogia.
Alpha-lipoic acid. This ingredient appears to lower blood sugar. Because of this, alpha-lipoic acid might interfere with insulin and other diabetes medications. Alpha-lipoic acid seems to reduce thyroid hormone levels. This can be a problem for people who take Levothyroxin for hypothyroidism (low thyroid).
Hoodia. As I reported in my book on supplements hoodia Gordonii seems to share some chemical similarity to a class of heart drugs called cardiac glycosides. In fact, if you Google “Hoodia and cardiac glycosides.” I don’t know the clinical significance of this. That said, if you have heart or blood pressure issues please see your cardiologist before using any hoodia supplement, just to be safe.
Chromium may lower blood sugar levels. While this can be a good thing, it also means chromium might interact with blood-sugar-lowering medications. This might – in theory – make blood sugar levels to too low.
As a general, blanket statement, I would be cautious if you have any problems with your heart, blood pressure, kidneys, liver, mental disorders, diabetes or digestive problems. I would not recommend Plexus Slim if you had bariatric surgery either. To their credit, the makers of Plexus Slim do say to see your doctor first if you are pregnant. I agree with this.
The Plexus Slim Accelerator
Update: The Accelerator formula has changed significantly and the product is now called Plexus Accelerator Plus (Accelerator +). Do read my review of the Plexus Accelerator Plus for additional information on the new product.
This is another product sold on the Plexus Slim website. The word “accelerator” is a tip-off that this product is a stimulant.
The Plexus Slim Accelerator contains trace minerals, calcium, and magnesium from seaweed (both are useless for weight loss) and vitamin B6 (useless for weight loss). The accelerator also has a “proprietary blend” of:
- Dark Chocolate – won't help weight loss, unless it has caffeine
- Natural Caffeine – natural or not, it's caffeine!
- Green Tea Extract – probably has caffeine or EGCG
- Vanadium Chelate. This is the fancy name for Vanadium. It won't help weight loss.
- B-Phenylethylamine HCl – might act as a neuro-chemical. Avoid if you take antidepressants.
The Plexus Slim Accelerator also has an ingredient called GeranaX. GeranaX is a reference to geranium oil. Geranium oil is controversial in some circles because it is thought by some to be a natural source of a stimulant called Dimethylamylamineor “DMAA. ” It's scientific name is 1,3 Dimethylamylamine and its also called Methylhexaneamine.
The name “GeranaX” is a made-up word. In other words, the name GeranaX holds no scientific meaning.
Geranium has been the subject by scrutiny by the military, whose research finds that geranium does not contain DMAA. Oddly, the supplement 411 website still lists “geranium” as an alternative name for DMAA in its listings. Currently, it is controversial if geranium is a source of DMAA or not.
As of July 2013, the Australian government warned people about the Plexus Slim Accelerator because they say it had DMAA. This link goes to the Australian government website that discusses the Plexus Slim Accelerator and DMAA.
- In April of 2013, the FDA issued a warning letter about DMAA.
- Here is a New York Times article on DMAA for more information.
The ingredient DMAA seems to act like ephedra or bitter orange (synephrine) which are potent stimulants. As such, it may raise blood pressure and heart rate to dangerous levels. Here is a case report of a 21-year-old man who suffered a stroke after taking 2 DMAA pills.
This does not mean plexus slim will do this. It would depend on whether DMAA really is in geranium and also which part of the plant was used (root, stems ect).
Di methy amyl amine “looks” like amphetamines (“speed”). This may be why question 6 of the Plexus Slim Q and A page mentions that this ingredient may cause a positive result on a drug test for amphetamines. Here is a study showing that dimethylamylamine causes false positive drug tests for amphetamines.
Plexus Slim Bio-Cleanse
This is a laxative. Always remember, the word “cleanse” means laxative. The Plexus Slim Bio Cleanse supplement lives up to its laxative name because it contains magnesium, which is indeed a laxative. Remember “Milk of Magnesia.” Either way, laxatives don't cause any weight loss other than mostly water (and of course, poo). The Plexus Slim website lists 2 prices for this product – $29.95 or $39.95 -both of which are too pricey for me.
Plexus Boost
Here is my review of Plexus Boost. I cover a lot of information in this review and I also compare it to the ingredients in Accelerator Plus as well.
Plexus Slim Fast Relief
The Fast Relief product appears to be a pain relief formula that exists in both a cream
For more information, see the review of Omega XL.
Will Plexus Slim Work?
Honestly, I'm not if it works because Plexus Slim – itself- has no published proof. If you read the comments below, you'll see some people do say it's helped them lose weight. If it works, is it because of the unique blend of ingredients in Plexus Slim or is it because of just a few key ingredients alone?
Here are Plexus Supplements on Amazon
Don’t use this product ever!!! It will make you bloated and gassy… which in turn makes you not want to eat… I would rather die, than sign up for this… Placebo affect/effect is the only thing it offers, so save your money…
Just an opinion passing through; If you’re a relatively healthy and physically able person, dont waste your time and money on experimental shortcuts. Eat healthy, Exercise regulary. I went from taking fat metabolisers and burners every day, to completely stopping all together once i read up on the side affects in the products i was using.
Trust me, once i started eating healthy, cutting absolutely all the sugar out of my diet, and exercising regularly, i felt so much better than i did when i was on supplements. It did take a couple weeks for my body to adjust to the diet however.
But that’s my opinion.
My experience with Plexus wasn’t good. My heart raced like it was going to jump out of my chest. I “crashed” after about 2 hours. It took my appetite away and made me so dry mouth I couldn’t get enough water. I lost weight fast the 3 days I took it. But it was just not worth anymore risk.
Another lady in my town was hospitalized.our problem was the accelerator pill.
The people that sell it tell you it started off as a drink for diabetics.
DMAA IS found in geraniums – the head of the company that manufactures a supplement powder called “Jack3d” is quoted as admitting that – Google that product and DMAA, you will read all sorts of info about DMAA. The company that sells Jack3d was ordered to destroy their product and there are lawsuits filed. Yes, you’ll lose weight taking DMAA and then possibly go into cardiac arrest and die. No thanks. I lost nearly 100 pounds – from 230 to 140 in about 1.5 years and I did it with hard work exercising and eating healthier.
Yes, Joe, that is the article.
I would recommend researching ANY supplement at Consumerlab.com as these companies that sell supplement are not regulated by the FDA. I was shocked to find how many companies that are tested don’t even have the amounts that they label in the actual product or are tainted. One I saw, that I will not name, tested positive with a carcinogenic form of chromium. HELLO!
Joe
The link I listed states it was moved. The article basically states what your link does, but lists the companies that were sent letters from the FDA. Follow my following posts and it will take you to the article in question. Search yahoo for FDA and DMAA, and article will be listed. Hope that makes sense, not very computer literate.
Pete, I think I found it. is this the article
http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm302133.htm
Hi Aletha
I am a former Ambassador, so I can speak from both sides. I was, and still am, doing research on mostly the multi-level marketing business model for many companies. When an expert like Joe feels a product may not be safe, and should be avoided, you have to listen. He basically predicted what was going to transpire with the accelerator. He was right, it was found to be dangerous, and would sooner are later be banned.
Aletha, please read Joe’s review very closely before you make your decision. Everything you need, knowledge wise (unbiased, based on data available) is there for you.
Good luck, and I wish you well.
Pete,
Clarification please… you ARE or ARE NOT in favor (support) the use of at least the PSSlim. I definitely feel that the accelerator might be an issue. I thought I read once where you said you are a distributor of Plexus. I just saw it for the first time tonight.I have read all of the comments. VERY interesting. Thanks to you and Joe especially for the insights… VERY helpful. Still no final decision for me as to whether to try it. IF I did… only the drink… I remain… curious.
Sorry Joe, would not link, but for those interested can be found searching FDA DMAA. “FDA challenges marketing of DMAA products for lack of safety.”
Joe
Here is my link to the FDA’s involvement on DMAA.
http://www.fda.gov/Newsroom/pressannouncements/ucm302133.htm
Pete, that link didnt work. Is this the link you meant
http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm302133.htm
Stacey
Why is it that every time an ambassador is questioned, and someone has an opinion they do not agree with, the result is name calling. Is that the only way they can defend themselves.
The FDA, like the FTC has plenty to do and both are extremely under staffed. As a matter of fact, the FDA does have a “beef” with PS, and that is concerning the Plexusslim Acclerator,DMAA issue. The FDA nor, the FTC can monitor each and every other MLM, or other industry products, especially the ridiculously small companies as PS. If you would have done your research as you state, you would have found that the FDA sent out letters to 10 of the largest companies selling weight-loss, and performance products insisting that they reformulate their products with DMAA, or take them off the market.
You would think PS, and other small companies would adhere to the FDA demands, but unfortunately ,the MLM industry’s regulations are so laxed that the smaller companies like PS get by with stubbing their noses at the FDA, and the FTC until the real hammer comes down. This takes time, and by the time these agencies catch up to the small companies they have made their monies and have moved on to another venture.
Wow! 3-MD’s like PS. I don’t know where you are from, but I would assume either Louisiana, or Miss. I am very familar with these areas, and there are thousands of MD’s in that area. THREE, NOW THAT IS SOME KIND OF A SAMPLE. lol
Been around doctors and have followed them all their careers, and did not know ONE that had experience, or education in vitamins, which basically all that PS is made from. Does that tell you anything?
You said you did your homework on Joe. Did you find he is a renowned expert on fitness, exercise, and weight-loss with various degrees, and is the author of several books on the subjects mentioned. Your research on Joe, and well as you research on PS is not very conclusive.
Stacey, wish you wouldn’t leave the sight, I am retired, and always looking for amusement. lol (tell us about Dan Brown’s credentials)
Elaine
Thanks for the article. Very interesting, but also troublesome when you read what has happened to the Plexusslim Accelerator in Austrila, and as far as I know, PS is still promoting the product. Based on my research, and others, Australia has been a target for MLM, but the government has already ssen through the smoke and mirrors, and chose to eliminate products that have the same action as PSA, and has been proven to kill people. (ref. to article) Hope you are doing well.
It is also very troublesome to me as to how the ambassadors can continue to sell the PSA to family and friends knowing that they may be putting them in harm’s way.
http://www.usatoday.com/search/diet%20pills%20prison/
Anyone selling this product should know they can and will be held responsible if side affects begin to show up. The disclaimer on websites will not save anyone from federal prosecution and jail time. Be very cautious telling people Plexus Slim cures diabetics, high blood pressure, disease, migraines, or anything else. There will be no denying your false claims, which are posted on internet sites and youtube.
Elaine, your link had a lot of different articles. was there a specific article you were referencing? can you link to it 🙂
Do a google search, Matt Cahill. http://www.usatoday.com/media/cinematic/video/2585735/supplement-shell-game-matt-cahill/ You wont see this info revealed at any of the rah, rah rallies, nor with Dave Brown reveal the possible dangers. If the product is 100% safe, why the disclaimer on ambassadors’ sites.
ElaineB, thanks for that. I never heard of Matt Cahill or Superdroll so I appreciate the heads up. I posted this on my FB page also.
Joe
Here is an aricle written by Dr. Jeffery Mccombs that describes the “spit test” for candida (yeast infection). He states that the test is completely inaccurate. http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2011/06/30/is-the-candida-spit-test-accurate
Pete, thanks for that!! 🙂
The “spit” test is just another scam to sell the Bio Cleanse and Pro Bio 5 products. Ambassadors will tell you your weight loss failure is due to accumulated toxins in your body. But wait, there is a cure. Just purchase the cleansing products and the weight will magically disappear. And then there is the, “Not losing weight, then use PS products along with the Atkins diet program.”
I just wanted to say that my cousin is on the “Plexus Program” and although I don’t know about his future health, I do know that he is off his diabetes medication because his blood sugar is at a healthy level.
Susan, terrific! Really happy for your cousin 🙂
I tried the pink drink trial pack as directed for the first time yesterday. Was fine prior and it made me so tired that I passed out instead of visiting the grand kids. Researched and it can make you sleepy. Then woke up ate a piece of bread and took an accelerator, GEEZ are you serious!!!!!Felt like I was on speed – and then some….
I have a lap band lost 150 and wanted to take off 15 pounds but I suffer from anxiety and add (hyper) and this accelerator intensified the anxiety by 100 % times, took anti anxiety meds just to calm this crazy feeling down…. That did not even work… I slept 2 hours last night..
My daughter sells it, and would love to believe in this stuff, i researched it and I am glad it works for some, but will stick to what is FDA approved for now. Like any diet, surgery and pills some work, some don’t. I see results from some who took this but for me, not worth sleep deprivation and a heart attack. I will just say not for me. And I don’t think sitting and taking a pill is the sagging results you want for rapid weight loss if you don’t exercise, feels like double strength SUDAFED times 100….
My opinion, my facts on what happened to me… Would have loved it to work but my health is more important working at it naturally then to take non approved drugs that make you feel horrid… I pray this gets out of my system ASAP.
I’ve been in the medical field for years and would have tried anything to lose weight back in the day of 20’s, but 40’s. heart palpitations, no sleep, irritable …….not for me, my opinion so not healthy…..
I am quite sure that my increased water consumption, coupled with my serious desire to loose some weight were the driving force in what made my trial with PS “look” so successful. I simply cannot afford the products so I have gone back to doing what I was doing – drinking 7 16.9 oz bottles of water per day, staying in my water aerobics class and simply trying to love myself more 🙂
My results with the 6 day of trial with PS were amazing – I lost 4 lbs and a total of 7 inches overall – but I really think that I can accomplish that minus a nearly $100 expense each month.
Thank you, Joe, for pointing out the two ingredients that may be beneficial in and of themselves. Very interesting comments/discussion. Thank you!
Angela, glad to help and I think you are right in that we can all benefit from loving ourselves a bit more 🙂
I haven’t lost anything. I took a saliva test and the results were that I had yeast in my body so I may want to take Probio5 along with the slim and accelerator..but since adding the Probio, I am waking up many times in the night..no weight loss yet..started on PS 22 days ago.
Brenda, who did the saliva test? I am not an expert on saliva tests diagnosing yeast so I am curious.
Stacey
I am no mathematical genious, but here is a very interesting pricing of PS on E-bay. Someone was selling individual packages of PS out of the packaging. 5 individual packages for .99. Yes, .99 cents. This is not only against regulations, but I know against PS policy. If this is the case, put the math to it. Let me know if I am reading this wrong.
