I can tell you that they work great for my husband (reduces his appetite) but for me, they were a nightmare...
When I began taking Metabolife it seemed to take away my hunger and I probably lost a few pounds (I took for about a month) but then I started experiencing strange feelings and wierd side effects. (seeing wiggly lines in my vision, lightheadedness etc.,)
Went to family doc who did tons of test. He referred me to a neurologist who admitted me to the hospital for more tests. Meanwhile, I had not even thought about the Metabolife being a cause. They did chest X-rays, and CT scans and MRI's and could not find any cause. I was discharged and told to take an asprin a day.
About two weeks later, my symptoms had completely subsided and I started taking the Metabolife again.. within a day my symptoms were coming back...
Decided that THAT was the problem. Something in them.. not sure what... does not agree with my body. So be careful when you take products with herbal ingredients. I think they do work for some but not all.
