did not work
I not only did not loose weight, I gained!  The first time I tried the product, I gained 5 pounds the first week.  I did not change my 1500-1600 calorie diet.  I went off the product for two weeks and lost the 5lbs.  I also notice less swelling of my feet and hands.  I tried the product again, increading it from 800mg/day to 1200mg/day, I gained 3 pounds in three days.  The swelling returned.  Another significant side-effect was severe constipation.<br /><br />I have read reviews from adults over the age of 50 with similar results as my own.(I am 58) Although, I do believe the reports of positive results, I think there needs to be more research, especially in people over 50.  I also wonder about possible cholinergic effects (which results in fluid retention, dry mouth and consipation, among other things).  The bottom line -- perhaps we need to be more careful about how positive this product is being presented, especially by a health care professional.
