Has helped me, purchased from Amazon several times, here's how I use it.
GREAT overall appetite helper. I've been using this exact product that I bought through AMAZON several times. How best does it work for me? I take 2 - 3 caps with at least 8 ounces of fluid (water is best, take up to 3 per day). I found it works GREAT with a HOT cup of broth or tea after I take it. I take it so I don't overeat at mealtimes. Helps me feel a bit like I've already ate just before, so it doesn't take a lot to help me feel fuller faster. I've lost 48 pounds so far, and this has helped me with my overeating habits if I get too hungry before I eat. You have to get used to taking them PRIOR to eating a meal (like 30 min to an hour before) to help you not overeat.
TIPS that I find useful for ME to get the most out of this are below:
* Take 1 - 3 caps, 30 min to 1 hour PRIOR to eating a meal (ONCE DAILY). Take with water or whatever.
* After you've swallowed the caps with at least 8 oz of water, sip on a cup of hot broth, hot herbal tea while your getting ready, cooking a meal, or reading a book or watching TV until dinner is done.
* DO NOT OVEREAT, at this point if you've done as I do, you should feel like you have something already in your stomach, eat sensibly and healthy
* Yes, this will cause a more softer bowel movement with regular use, but it also helps my irregular constipation I have as well. It will NOT cause "embarrassing accidents", and my tummy got used to it quickly. I do have a tad of extra gas from time to time with these, but that is normal and not so bad I stop taking them.
