Slimshots Review
Touted as the "Global Diet Sensation" by the makers, Slimshots promises to help you lose weight by decreasing appetite and therefore caloric intake. There are no meetings, no sales agents, no recipes, no calorie counting diaries, and no multi step programs, just one supplement meant to fit easily into your daily schedule. Developed in Sweden and launched in Sweden and France in 2006, it quickly fought its way to the #1 selling spot in French pharmacies. The key ingredients in these mini shots are purified palm oil and oat oil, and it can be taken as a stand alone or with coffee, milk, or yogurt.
Price: $54.95/10 pack
The Slimshots website claims that Slimshots contain only three ingredients: palm oil, oat oil, and water. Unlike some other supplements, they do not try to hide behind a long and complicated ingredient list. Likewise, all three ingredients are generally recognized as safe, products can be delivered worldwide within 10 days, and they post some testimonials from happy customers including a 73 year old woman from Auckland.
While Slimshots may be safe, consumers may be sacrificing results for safety. The Slimshots website claims that there are published studies on the appetite suppressing abilities of palm oil and oat oil, however there are no such studies to be found. These two ingredients are most commonly used as emulsifiers or moisturizers in skin creams. There is no official product label, leaving the actual ingredient list open to question, and the website lacks any proof of a satisfaction or money back guarantee.
Slimshots seems to keep it simple. The problem is, in their simplicity, they forgot to include the necessary components to ensure any success. Slimshots will not maximize results, and you may achieve better results drinking more water on a daily basis.
