Excellent for bowl control and weight mgmt..if you are in training/gain muscle watch out!
I am 5"11 and weight 201 lbs, Male, in 40s. Healthy and active. I had a bit of mid belly fat. I have been using this product for the last 3 months. Pros: 1. Regulate my bowel movement - I am very consistent for the last three months with progressively better after each month. I have 3 months data to track it (Daily bowl freq 0, 1, 2, 3 for the last 3.5 months). It was an improvement over my previous 6 months. Having said that I also increase my leafy green and fruits consumptions. I suspect the improvement factors are combination of both. This product is excellent for bowel movement control. If you have ibs I highly recommend it. 2. Control Appetite - This is something I didn't expect having such an impact on me. I was a "big eater". Since using this product, my appetite reduced 30%. But at the same time I also try to shrink my eating period to 10 hours or less. If you are into weight control or even lose weight the "side effect" might be good. If you want to take in more calories to gain weight, please consider this side effect. But my mid belly (fat) is gone. My "waistline" (belly button circumference - not the pant's waistline is reduced by 3 inches from 37 to 34. Cons: 1. Body Weight - Due to losing about 30% of the appetite (technically the appetite is there but the capacity reduced by 30%) my weight dropped a lot. It was great initially since that was my goal. After 3 months I got a little bit concern and the "appetite control" factor didn't ring any bell. I ended up doing more PCP visit thinking there might be something wrong with me. Watch your dosage if you are into training/muscle gain program. 2. Gas - As I mentioned, I added more leafy green and fruits to my diet. I was doing smoothie every other day. Now combining a high fiber diet with this product, I had a period of 3 days of excessive gas pain (you do need to take a lot of water to prevent bloating). I didn't realize that since I hardly experienced gas problem. Finally it came to me. Watch out if you switching to a high fiber diet and taking this product at the same time. These are the four main factors I want to mention to give this product a fair review
