Slim Seduction - Libido Booster and Weight Loss in One Pill

By Ernesto Martinez

A History of Slim Seduction

Dieting women have likely heard of Slim Seduction, a pill that allegedly helps women lose weight and increase their sex drive at the same time. It started out only as a sexual aid, but soon modified its name after users began reporting measures of weight loss. Now Slim Seduction also claims to work against cellulite. The diet pill is being developed by Global Nutritional Sciences, who has been in the dietary supplement industry for 10 years.

How It's Supposed To Be Used

Users are asked to take three pills twice a day, most preferably thirty minutes prior to a meal or workout. Global Nutritional Sciences claims that the unique combination of Slim Seduction's ingredients alter the body's mechanisms to encourage weight loss.

The Ingredient List

One of the primary ingredients in the pill is citrus aurantium, better known as bitter orange. Bitter orange is a stimulant that has many properties similar to ephedrine, the banned dietary supplement. Their similar properties are also likely to result in similar health risks. Bitter orange is associated with hypertension, arrhythmias and strokes. It can also affect how you metabolize prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Though bitter orange is legal to use, it has not been proven effective at weight loss or appetite suppression.

Slim Seduction does include several ingredients which are known for their weight loss benefits, the most noticeable being green tea extract. Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant and caffeine containing stimulant, well known for its ability to stimulate the metabolism and increase the body's ability to burn fat. Caffeine has also been associated with decreasing appetite and increasing energy. Meaning at each meal you need less food to get full and will reduce your total calorie intake.

South African herbs yerba mate and guarana are two other ingredients in the long list of ingredients making up the Slim Seduction formula. Both yerba mate and guarana have caffeine and act as stimulants. Guarana has been studied for appetite suppression but the jury is still out on whether the herb lives up to this claim. Yerba mate however, has a history of being used to suppress appetite and is commonly used in weight loss formulas for this reason. However, Slim Seductions claim that yerba mate and guarana can liberate stored body fat is completely unfounded.

Though Slim Seduction makes some questionable claims, green tea and yerba mate are both well accepted for weight loss benefits. However, none of the ingredients listed in the product have any affect on the libido. Calcium included in the formula may help increase fat burning and Dandelion extract works as a diuretic and will remove excess water weight.

Consumer Feedback

Users have complained about Slim Seduction's baseless claims, although some users have reported varying amounts of weight loss. The problem is that it could just as well have been brought about by lifestyle changes, such as a healthier diet and more exercise. Perhaps the most common complaint with regards to Slim Seduction is the fact that some users have been charged for free trials, and have a good share of trouble merely canceling their orders.
