i did lose weight and that started very quickly, however at a price. i have horrible stomach cramps and pains and also very bad diahorrea. massive loss of appetite.

in my own opinion i think it works for some and not for others... if it works for you great! if not, there are heaps of other options




good luck.
(ps you must always take metformin with food)
I couldn't take it either nor did it help with my BG. It only made me sick.
