Solo Slim
Solo Slim is a dietary weight loss supplement that is sold by Ezville Ltd which is located in New York. They have a website which lists information about all of their products. It is a bit confusing when perusing information about the particular ingredients since Solo Slim comes in two different formulas. There is the original Solo Slim and Solo Slim Extra Strength. When a person tries to find what ingredients are in Solo Slim all of the ingredients are listed. After further research what you find is that the original Solo Slim does not contain some of the ingredients included on this list.
The original formula for Solo Slim contains Konjac Glucomannan, Lotus Leaf Flavonoids & Alkaloids, Citrus Aurantium Synephrine, Hawthorne Hyperosides and L-Carnitine Tartrate. Konjac Glucomannan is a form of water soluble fiber which helps to fill up the stomach and intestines and stave off hunger. Hawthorne works by dissolving fat molecules in the body and expelling additional salt content in the cells. This prevents water retention.
Citrus Aurantium is better known as bitter orange. It is being used by diet pill makers since ephedra has been taken off the market. It works in the same way that ephedra did and can have some of the same side effects of ephedra so caution should be used when taking preparations that have this compound or extract in them. The function of this extract is to increase the heart rate and metabolism rate of the body. This can also increase blood pressure and cause other cardiovascular problems.
L-Carnitine is an essential amino acid that is found in the body. It is also naturally found in our food sources. It works to provide energy for our body. It also helps to provide the building blocks for muscle tissue. According to the website it can improve the immune system and help mental function as well. L-Carnitine has been reported to assist with lowering cholesterol levels in the blood stream as well.
According to the website the extra strength formula has increased amounts of the above extracts and compounds. It also has fucoxanthin which is an extract that is obtained from edible brown seaweed. Fucoxanthin has been found to be very beneficial as a very powerful antioxidant. It also has been shown in several clinical studies to be very beneficial in increasing the bodies metabolism, burning more body fat and reducing the amount of belly fat a person has. This formula also has green tea extract added to it. Green tea has been touted for years now as a powerful antioxidant and a way to get extra energy for many. This is a common extract used for many weight loss supplements. It helps increase the metabolism and helps the body to burn more fat.
Consumer reviews of this product are mixed at best. More negative reviews can be found than positive ones so that needs to be weighed in when considering using this weight loss supplement. Another thing that was a bit troubling was the fact that when perusing the ordering process on the maker’s website, there was not a quantity on the amount of pills a consumer could order for $40.
Another troubling thing to note on this product is that the Health Ministries of both Hong Kong and Canada have sent out warnings to their consumers telling them not to use this product. They stated that an unknown compound similar to sibutramine or Meridia as it is known in the US was found when investigated. They also noted that synephrine was present and Canada does not allow diet supplements with that ingredient to be sold there. So consumers need to be aware of all this information in order to make an educated decision about this product before purchasing it.

I think SoloSlim is shady. It has these ingredients that are most likely not safe and the fact that they do not give the amounts of these ingredients is what troubles me the most. I definitely agree that Synephrine, green tea, and even Glucomannan are good for weight loss, BUT I am not sure about the rest of the formula and the amounts. I am guessing that is why so many people are thinking twice about soloslim… are there any people out there that even tried this stuff????

I’ve been using it for 30 days, and I have lost 11 pounds. I’m am really happy with my results
Comment by Garebear on 23 November 2009:
I’ve read numerous soloslim reviews and they all conclude that soloslim is a scam… So why did I still buy soloslim?? Cause I’m dumb. Side effects of soloslim were numerous. Weight loss results from soloslim appetite suppressant were zilch!
Don’t bother buying solo slim. This is one bad fat burner. Lipo6 black and clinicallix are both way way better.

Solo-slim is not good. I lost .3 lbs with a whole bottle. The previous month I lost 6lbs with slimquick cleanse and the month before that I lost 11 pounds with clinicallix.
Don’t waste time or money on solo slim.
Good news is I had no side effects with soloslim.

Soloslim has worked for me I’ve lost 28lbs and many of my friends have lost anywhere form 18 to 60lbs. Not to mention the inches I’ve lost in my waist and my legs. Went from 10 and now in a 4. I say it works!

Oh yeah, no side effects.

Yes, this smacks of a bunch of jealous idiots attacking others to make your own crappy products look good. You should get your facts straight before deliberately misleading consumers with these misguided tactics. I think someone should contact Garden of Life so they can SUE YOU for breaking the law with these lies.

These pills are definitely working, but I’m not an over-eater. My metabolism died after the birth of my 4th child, and no matter how much I exercise, I see no results on the scale. The pills do curb my appetite, I’m not eating all of the leftovers on my kids plates like I use to. I actually have a hard time finishing my own dinner. I get dry mouth so I try to stay hydrated well. The only side effect I have so far that is negative is that I can’t sleep well.

I have tried many if not all of the name brand, so called top of the list diet pills and none of them worked for me. A coworker of mine told me about it and thought I would try it after seeing she had lost 30 pounds. Solo Slim is AMAZING! I do not over eat, in fact, I eat very little, but after turning 40 my metabolism came to a screetching hault. It did not matter what I did, I could not budge the weight. I have taken Solo Slim Extra Strength for two and half months and have lost 26 pounds. None of my clothes fit! I do not have any more to lose. In fact, what of the positive things I have to say about Solo Slim is that the first week, you don’t really see or feel any different. By the second week you start seeing the pounds melt away. Not just water weight, but actual fat. You do get dry mouth, but that is helpful to make you drink the water your body needs to flush the bad out. Now, after loosing 26 pounds, I have no fat left to loose. I am 5′ 7″ and went from a size 5 and 7 now into a size 2. My husband is now trying them. He is just into his fifth day. He only wants to loose 20 pounds, so we will see how it works for him. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to loose those tough extra pounds that just won’t budge and anyone else who needs that extra push and confidence in a product to see the results. I cannot wait for summer!

I was forever at 186! No matter what I did, I always weighed 186 and never lost ANY inches! After 14 days on SoloSlim I lost 18 pounds and my size 12 jeans were FALLING off of me! I say it works. Total weight loss was 35 pounds; only took if for 6 weeks. I have gained 10 pounds back, but that has been over a year’s time and due to un-healthy eating. I did experience some side effects (dry mouth/thirst), but water is good for you…. I don’t know ANYONE who it has not worked for, and most my family and friends have used it. You do have to eat healthy, follow the directions to a T, and take an entire bottle before giving up!

I used SoloSlim for 3 months and lost 30 lbs. I was stuck at my starter weight for at least 2 years. After trying numerous diet pills that didn’t work, I tried this and had great results. Besides what people are saying, they obviously didn’t follow the directions right or maybe it just didn’t work for them. Everyone is different. I loved it and I love the results.
