Brief Answer:
Followup

Detailed Answer:
This supplement has been widely advertised in the media. At this time we have no long term studies which demonstrate safety of this product.

At this time I strongly advise against taking this supplement.

The best thing for your health is exercise and diet. Unfortunately exercise takes alot of effort and is not easy but it is honestly the best thing for you.

These supplements and pills generate alot of money for people who make or endorse them - you should have a healthy suspicion of them.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
