In January 2010, The FDA has discovered that there are many counterfeited Alli product being sold in the internet.
The counterfeited product is not using Orlistat which is the real ingredient for the real Alli but they are using Sibutramine. Sibutramine is a banned ingredient due to its nasty side effect that relate to stroke or heart attack.
Sibutramine that is on the fake Alli is twice the amount of the recommended or safe level. The concern doesn't stop there, because Sibutramine usually need to be taken only once a day but Alli recommended dose is three times a day so if you are using a fake Alli you would consume Sibutramine three times a day with twice the safe dose.

HCG Remedy Is Being Hunt Down By The FDA |
|
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or simply put it is a hormone from human placenta. If you don't know what human placenta is then imagine a childbirth and imagine the organ that connect the mother and the child. Have you visualize it? In the movies the father usually cut it with a scissor? Yes, that's placenta. You can get HCG hormone either from abortion where the placenta then harvested and extract the hormone or from a pregnant women urine. I wonder why this product hasn't been banned earlier with that crazy kind of ingredient.
Even as crazy as it sounds the FDA doesn't crack down HCG products because of its ingredient, but because of the claim the HCG company make. Claim like it can help people to lose 20 to 30 pounds in a month or help with eating pattern, those claims is not backed up with data and therefore misleading. The HCG products also told you to get on a low calorie diet for maximum effects which kinda strange because isn't if you lose weight it is because of the low calorie diet and not the products it self? Anyway this product direction for maximum effects back fired because HCG combine with low calorie diet can be dangerous. It can cause increased risk of heart arrhythmia's, electrolyte imbalance and gallstones.
The FDA send seven warning letters to HCG manufacturer ordering them to stop the false claim and has 15 days to answer or they would be taken to legal action. |
