Dosage
According to the manufacturer, the user should take three softgels every day with a glass of water and a meal. It is noted that this product contains a form of natural caffeine, therefore this should not be taken at night.
Possible Side Effects
There are no possible side effects that are listed on the company’s website or on the label. However, anyone who is allergic to bees should not take this product as it contains beeswax. Moreover, our biggest concern was a note on the label that states that this product contains a chemical that is considered to cause birth defects, this we felt was very dangerous.
Price
On the company’s website, this product is on sale for $27.99 but it is possible to find this product on other websites for as low as $14.99. The fluctuation prices raised alarm bells for us, perhaps this is not a quality product after all filled with low-quality grades of the ingredients or perhaps even contaminants.
Guarantee
There is no money back guarantee of any kind listed on the manufacturer’s website, which is disappointing. Depending on where the user purchased the product, they will have a specific return policies and warranties. Check with the company in which you purchased the product from.
Conclusion
This product contains 12 active ingredients, including Black Pepper Extract which helps with absorbability into the body but it also includes caffeine and a chemical that is considered to cause birth defects. This greatly concerned us. Consumer reviews were mixed. Most consumers found the product to be very helpful, however, several consumers mentioned that it made them feel jittery and uncomfortable. On top of all that, the lack of a money back guarantee and the fluctuating price, may deter some people from purchasing this product. Based on the positive reviews, this product has potential but it was outweighed by the chemicals and caffeine in this product.
