It’s a very, very expensive MLM product and as you all know, we don’t support those for good reason.

The ingredients are the usual and somewhat sketchy, as Jane pointed out.

Take the Hoodia – It’s highly unlikely that it contains real hoodia because there’s very little hoodia out there and it’s illegal to export it from Africa for weight loss supplements.

If it IS real hoodia then you should avoid it. 2 major pharmaceutical giants, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and Unilever, spent a few million dollars researching hoodia to try to come up with a product that could be proven both safe and effective.

The result? They found that hoodia actually did not do anything to help with weight loss. They also ended their studies early because it made the subjects very sick. This was real hoodia that was researched by the best clinical experts out there.

Do you trust any product that lists hoodia as an ingredient? Either it’s fake or it’s potentially dangerous.

Plexus Slim also contains green coffee bean extract. There’s been a lot of hoopla about this ingredient lately and it was thought that it might help a little bit. However, very recent (2013-2014) studies showed a link between the ingredient and several unhealthy conditions, including an odd build-up of fat in the liver.

It’s my opinion that the ingredients in this Plexus Slim shake are not at all impressive.

What actually happens is when people take products like these, even those that DO NOTHING to actually help weight loss, the people using it consciously/subconsciously pay more attention to what they eat and they end up eating less!

Also, success with MLM products comes with a bonus – $$$

So those who test out MLM weight loss products have an added incentive to ‘make’ it work for them. Confirmation bias anyone?

Are the products any more effective than their inexpensive drugstore clones? Not really.

I’m closing this forum thread because every time MLM products are mentioned, their distributors and resellers rush over like ants to try to sell their products!
