How Safe Is MolecuSlim Weight Loss Pill?

default
Posted on Wed, 22 Jun 2016
Question: Do you know whether MolecuSlim weight loss pills are safe? I am a 60 year old woman who needs to lose about 15 pounds and nothing seems to work on belly fat. I eat healthy foods, mainly vegetarian, avoiding red meat and light on dairy products. Thank you for your advice, XXXX

Brief Answer:
Welcome to HCM. I have reviewed your concern

Detailed Answer: XXXXXXX
I have looked in my database and online and cannot find the ingredients in this weight loss pill.

In general, I would say that most weight loss pills are worthless and many cannot be trusted. Before you consider taking an over the counter diet pill, talk to your doctor about some safer options for weight loss.

It will always go back to calories and exercise, XXXXXXX If you want a boost on losing body fat, drinking 4 cups of clear green tea taken in conjunction with omega-3 fatty acids supplements/fish oil tablets might help boost the metabolism. I know you tried green tea pills, but they work best in the dosage I stated ( 4 cups of brewed tea) and in combination with omega 3 fatty acids.

When anyone on thyroid supplements come to me with a weight problem, I review their thyroid function. Are you taking your medication on an empty stomach waiting for 20 minutes before eating? Do you eat soy products 2-3 hours after your medication? Take iron, calcium and magnesium supplements 4 hours from time of synthroid.

Are you following a 1200 calorie diet with at least 150 minutes per week of walking?

To answer your question, I do not advise MolecuSlim based on the fact that there have been 88 consumer complaints on this product, they are not openly disclosing their ingredients on any reputable site, there is no known mechanism of action since information on the product is unavailable. I do not feel this product is safe based on what I have found.

I hope I have answered your query on the safety of this product.

If you wish clarification, please write back with the ingredients on the label and instructions. I am in your time zone and will be available tomorrow to follow-up with you if you wish.

Respectfully, XXXXXXX Shattler, MS,RDN
