Hi, yes I have tried them out and they did work for me for a while, well they suppressed my appetite anyway. you can get them in the Chinese remedy shop on White Friar St, down the road from DBS.

Magic pills again, this kind of quackery really should be sent to the recycle bin imho.

So eat less then, your aware of the problem, thats the first step no???

Just so you guys know, as far as i am aware, and i may be wrong and if i am the i apologise to all involved, but i believe this company has already had legal issues over the lead content of some of their supplements, in that in one product it was found to be 20times over the legal limits.

Like i said, i may be wrong but just thought i would throw that out there.

I would suggest you guys get onto www.pubmed.com if you are curious to find studies on things that might actually give you the edge you seem to be seeking.

The last time I bought them they were 25 euro for a mths supply. I remember the first day of taking the, feeling a bit of of it like I had drank too many cups of coffee but that was the only side effect for me, Can't speak for everyone though

what??/it made u drink coffee?

I assume he meas caffeine.. these pills usually have lots of it!!

Im sure they would work to some degree though simply saying dont eat so much is not so simple for most people. Most people do not even realise they eat so much.

Yea at one stage we had 20 women a day in looking for them because there was a plug/piece about them on fm104 and they just said the chinese shop on camden st (we have a chinese shop right beside us). I looked into the ingredients and couldn't really find any of them barr one which said it was used as an appetite increaser...

They come with just a home printed leaflet (with the claimed ingredients on it) and in a blister pack with the chinese for show on it just.

Some people (not me...) have suggested that the effects are very similar to ephedrine and caffeine and that the product probably has the chinese herb ma huang in it... As pinkgrl said "like I had drank too many cups of coffee".

The leaflet is in the shop, on monday I will copy what it says as the ingredients.

I forgot to list the ingredients last time,
they are listed as
"huang jing extract"
"Ze xie Shan zha"
"Fragrant grass oil"
"Tea oil"

I cant remember which one I found to be the appetite increaser I just googled them.

Hey, I don't mean to be rude but, to the girl who took the tablets before, how heavy were you?
I am just wondering are the pills designed for people who are dangerously over weight or could they work for someone who is hoping to kick start a diet?
I would love to drop a stone but I am not hugely over weight, I am 5"5 and a size 12 - are they targeted at someone like myself or meant for someone much heavier?
