Anyone heard of these? Couple of the girls at work have been taking them and getting good results. Both saying they get thirsty, loss of appetite and finding it harder to sleep at night - sometimes not drifting off until 3am. But they say there are no stimulants in it and just natural herbs... so they can only be good.

Ingredients
Mulberry Leaf Extract, Citrus Aurantium Extract, Cassia Seed Extract, Coicis Extract, Medical Amylum

MULBERRY LEAF EXTRACT 90mg - Natural Extracts

CITRUS AURANTIUM EXTRACT 85mg - Appetite Control Blend

CASSIA SEED EXTRACT 55mg - Metabolism Booster
COICIS EXTRACT - Metabolism Booster (also helps with water retention)

MEDICAL AMYLUM 120mg - Helps with Water Retention as Medical Amylum is a Diuretic

I wouldn't take anything that stops me sleeping mate, doesn't sound too good

looks like it would create alot of water loss from a brief search? and then maybe back on when you stop? dont know

I've seen this list of ingredients before... was a different product but very similar. Mulberry and Bitter Orange have good study data behind them but just from memory those doses look a bit too low compared to the studies that show effectiveness.

Cassia and Coicis have less research but are favourites with Chinese medicine quite probably are effective to a point too. I don't get the Amylum thing as as far as I'm aware amylum is just another word for starch... and I've never found a definition of exactly what 'Medical Amylum' actually is
