Stephanie of Los Angeles, CA April 21, 2009


I took metabolife with ephedra for two years and never had a problem. The day it went off the market was a sad day for me personally. I never exceeded 4 a day and took none or one on the weekends to give my body a rest and to make sure my tolerance didn't increase. I probably lost 50 pounds but that was with the increased exercise I was able to do with my new found energy. My opinion based off nothing but my own common sense is that all medications are a potential heath risk given each individuals preexisting health conditions. I had none. I was and am a healthy adult. Moderation is key in using anything over the counter. Checking with your doctor to make sure you don't have any preexisting conditions is also key.

I've tried other ephedra based supplements but they just aren't the same as that original Metabolife formula, I wish it was back on the market. I used it moderately and responsibly, and educated myself about the potential side effects. As an adult I made an informed decision about my health. I'd like to think if I did have a problem, I would discontinue use and see my doctor. Also that any health issue that did arise was probably already there and undetected.

metabolife 356 was a great product and i lost 130lbs from it and I took it like it said to do on the bottle i had no proublem with it, i personally feel the people who had proublems were taking it the wrong way, like too much or knew they had a health proublem and still took it So really I feel the drug should be aloud back on the market. if you take something and you know you can not or take to much of a good thing its your fault not the company that made it. it states how to take it on the back but there is proof people did not take it right.I really hope the drug comes back fully like it was. thank you. it help alot of people who was over weight and took it right.

My fiancee and I were at Walmart looking at weight loss products and saw under Metabolife that the Green Teas is listed as caffeine free on the side panel. Now me being observant decided to check the ingredients, and it said that this particular product DID CONTAIN caffeiene specifically that is containted 75 mg of it now How can a product be considered caffiene free when it contains as much as 75 mg of caffiene in it?

The company lost a sale and I will let all my friends who use that stuff know that metabolife company is a LIAR and I also have notified Metabolif and the Better Business Burea
