Trimspa is a product of Goen Technologies and was endorsed by its celebrity spokesperson Anna Nicole Smith who claimed to have lost about 70 pounds by taking it. In 2008, the company declared bankruptcy shortly after receiving a complaint from the Federal Trade Commission for making false advertisement claims. In addition to its legal woes, Trimspa also faced public scrutiny for its side effects.
Anxiety
The consumption of Trimspa's high levels of caffeine can lead to the feeling of anxiety. The caffeine causes rapid breathing which can lead to blackouts and panic attacks. In addition to breathing difficulties, anxiety can dangerously elevate the heart rate which can lead to a variety of cardiovascular disorders.
Insomnia
Since Trimspa is to be taken several times a day, the effects of the high levels of green tea extract and caffeine take time to wear off and usually lead to people suffering from insomnia.
Stomach Discomfort
Consumption of high levels of caffeine and green tea extract can lead to a variety of stomach discomforts like nausea and diarrhea.
Liver Impairment
One of the major ingredients in Trimspa is Hoodia gordonii. Hoodia is a plant found in South Africa and has been used by native tribes for centuries. Unfortunately, after further scientific studies, Hoodia has been found to impair functions of the liver and raise the levels of toxicity in the liver.
Loss of Appetite
Loss of appetite can be misleading and misinterpreted as a positive effect. In reality, a loss of appetite can lead to a decrease in food consumption which ultimately leads to a lack of consuming essential vitamins and minerals.
Other Side Effects
Several consumers have complained of other side effects such as throat swelling and migraines. The throat swelling is typically caused by an allergic reaction to one of Trimspa's ingredients. The throat swelling can lead to difficulties breathing and swallowing.
The migraines can be traced to the specific ingredient cocoa extract which contains tyramine. Some individuals are sensitive to tyramine like others are sensitive to caffeine.
Warning
Seek medical guidance from a physician before taking any dietary supplement. Make sure that high levels of weight loss ingredients are safe for you and won't cause any unnecessary health ailments. Also, Trimspa can have adverse reactions to prescription medications.
