Simply slim diet product has serious side effects

Posted on | 2009-09-23

The Simply slim diet product apparently has very dangerous side effects and there are many people that have now started coming forward to complain about this product.

Various agents for Simply Slim has said that there is a campaign against the company and it's products and that only the Fake Simply Slim products contains sibutramine. the problem is that the supposedly Real Simply Slim products contain Synephrine (Bigarde orange)

Latest update: The Beeld has written an in depth article about Simply Slim
product that can be read here: Om Simply Slim te kan wees

Update The Beeld filed a few additional articles, best is to search their website

Another update: Another article about side effects of Bigarde Orange and Synephrine

Simply Slim contains among other weird and foreign things 37% of something called Bigarde orange ( Bigarde orange ) which case reports have linked bitter orange supplements to strokes,angina,and ischemic colitis.

Although Bigarde orange is not yet illegal in South Africa there are various publications that have written articles about it's use eg New York times

Prior to taking a product like the Simply slim product you should really consult with your medical doctor.

I have been using Simply Slim now for a whole month, in fact I took the last capsule today. AA really works although I have lost only one kg and the rest is centimetres, but I can really see a difference. The side effects however is not that good. Irregulary I feel dizzy, get headaches and nausea. The first day I took the first capusule I felt quite dizzy and vomited. After that I felt good again. Friday it happened again. I was confronted by a good friend and colleague of mine, a pharmacist, and she told me that SS is not good for one's health as it has some anorexgenic (something like that) ingredient, and that is what causes most of the side effects. Now I want to know, how safe is SS really? I have heard a lot of other complaints and this is causing a real concern, no matter ones intolerance to nuts, seafood etc. Is this normal? Because suddenly it seems complaints are storming in.

Please advise.

Thank you

I think this is a dangerous product and that people should know what they are doing before deciding to use it, you should stop taking it Alie!

I have been on Simply Slim for 6 weeks now, I have lost nearly 16kg, BUT I have been getting sicker and sicker, after 3 ½ weeks leave went back to the office on Monday the 11th Jan and nearly collapsed and had to take an additional two days off work. At first I thought it might have been the sudden loss of weight but after reading the reports on the website I am now very concerned.

I am drinking well over 2 litres of water a day so it cannot be dehydration, I have itchy eyes, heart palpitations, I look grey and drawn, I feel like crying as I am constantly sick, always nauseous, and what is most confusing for me is that I want to nod off all the time. I do take blood pressure pills, I was advised not to take all my pills at the same time so have spread them throughout the day but to no avail.

My arms are starting to feel like they have been filled with led including my head, my body does not want to move I just want to lie down and sleep and cry. This is not like me at all, I constantly have the feeling of falling, I could very well be in a flotation tank.

A few years ago I was the slimmer on a product called Bio-slim (I am still on the boxes and at the time did all the TV promotions) not once did I ever feel this bad. Bio-slim was made to remove one of their products from the market, how come a product like Simply Slim can be sold to slimmer’s with these very serious side effects?

The last four days I have started to experience goose bumps, they start on my arms and then all the way down to my toes, this is now happening every 20 minutes. I have been told this can be a side effect of a pill ingredient???

I have stopped taking the Simply Slim pill for a few days to see what happens.

Sunshine:

It is unbelievable how they can market this product as "100% herbal". Yeah right! I have not taken a Simply Slim Tablet for 4 days now and I STILL feel constantly dizzy, sick like I'm about to faint and I have goose bumps. This cannot be normal! Does anyone know after how long once someone has stopped taking the tablets, do the side-effects take to wear off? Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous!
