I have been asked a bit about Plexus Slim vs Skinny Fiber, and here is what I have found on it. Not only is it outlawed in Australia but as of April of this yr the united states DMAA has also banned one of the major ingredients in Plexus Slim. Read the info provided below. PLEXUS SLIM IS BANNED IN AUSTRALIA PLEXUS SLIM IS BANNED IN AUSTRALIA??????!!!!!!! Plexus Slim Accelerator capsules and Plexus Slim Accelerator 3 Day Trial packtga.gov.au/safety/alerts-medicine-plexus-slim-accelerator-capsules-130716.htm Related informationBuying medicines and medical devices over the InternetCounterfeit medicines and devicesSafety advisory 16 July 2013 Plexus slim accelerator pill bottle Plexus Slim Accelerator capsules and Plexus Slim Accelerator 3 Day Trial pack pose a serious risk to your health and should not be taken. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has tested Plexus Slim Accelerator capsules and Plexus Slim Accelerator 3 Day Trial pack capsules and found that: They contain the undeclared banned chemical 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA)Consumers are advised that DMAA is listed in Appendix C of the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP). Substances within Appendix C are of such danger to health as to warrant prohibition of sale, supply and use.Risks associated with its use include high blood pressure, psychiatric disorders, bleeding in the brain and stroke.Further information about DMAA can be found on the TGA website: The TGA decision to ban DMAAThe supply of Plexus Slim Accelerator capsules and Plexus Slim Accelerator 3 Day Trial pack is illegal.

Information for consumers Stop taking Plexus Slim Accelerator capsules and Plexus Slim Accelerator 3 Day Trial pack and take any remaining capsules to your local pharmacy for safe disposal.If you have any concerns arising from your use of this product, consult your health care practitioner.Action the TGA is taking The TGA is working with Australian Customs and Border Protection Services (Customs) to help stop future shipments of Plexus Slim Accelerator capsules and Plexus Slim Accelerator 3 Day Trial pack from entering Australia. The TGA is advising consumers to exercise extreme caution when purchasing medicines from unknown overseas Internet sites. Products purchased over the Internet: may contain undisclosed and potentially harmful ingredientsmay not meet the same standards of quality, safety and efficacy as those approved by the TGA for supply in Australia... I would be extra cautious about Plexus Slim if you have any problems with your heart, blood pressure, kidneys, liver, mental disorders, diabetes or digestive problems. I would not recommend Plexus Slim if you had bariatric surgery either. To their credit, the makers of Plexus Slim do say to see your doctor first if you are pregnant. I agree with this. The Plexus Slim AcceleratorThis is another product sold on the Plexus Slim website. The word “accelerator” is a tip off that this product is a stimulant. At $39.95 for a 30 day supply, I say it’s an overpriced stimulant too! The Plexus Slim Accelerator contains trace minerals (they don’t say which minerals), calcium and magnesium from seaweed (both are useless for weight loss) and vitamin B6 (useless for weight loss). The accelerator also has a “proprietary blend” of:Dark Chocolate – won’t help weight loss, unless it has caffeineNatural Caffeine – natural or not, it’s caffeine!Green Tea Extract – probably has caffeine or EGCGVanadium Chelate. Fancy name for Vanadium. It won’t help weight loss.B-Phenylethylamine HCl – might act as a neuro chemical. Avoid if you take antidepressants. The Plexus Slim Accelerator also has an ingredient called GeranaX. GeranaX is i reference to geranium oil. This is thought by some to be a natural source of a stimulant called Dimethylamylamineor “DMAA. ” Another name for this is 1,3 Dimethylamylamine. According to the supplement 411 website this is also called Methylhexaneamine. Currently it is controversial if geranium is a source of DMAA or not. The name “GeranaX” is a made-up word. In other words, the name GeranaX holds no scientific meaning. If geranium does in fact contain DMAA let’s discuss this in a little more detail. The ingredient DMAA seems to act like ephedra or bitter orange(synepherine) which are potent stimulants. As such, it may raise blood pressure and heart rate to dangerous levels. Here is a case report of a 21 year old man who suffered a stroke after taking 2 DMAA pills. This does not mean plexus slim will do this. It would depend on whether DMAA really is in geranium and also which part of the plant was use (root, stems ect). Di methy amyl amine “looks” like amphetamines(“speed”). This is why question 6 of the Plexus Slim Q and A page mentions that this ingredient may cause a positive result on a drug test for amphetamines. Here is a study showing that dimethylamylamine causes false positive drug tests for amphetamines. I recommend that all people -healthy and not healthy – avoid the Plexus Slim Accelerator. Plexus Slim Bio-CleanseThis is a laxative. Always remember, the word “cleanse” means laxative. The Plexus Slim Bio Cleanse supplement lives up to its laxative name because it contains magnesium, which is indeed a laxative. Remember “Milk of Magnesia.” Either way, laxatives don’t cause any weight loss other than mostly water (and of course, poo). The Plexus Slim website lists 2 prices for this product – $29.95 or $39.95 -both of which are too pricey for me. Will Plexus Slim work?Honestly, I’m not sure since Plexus Slim itself has no published proof that it works or is safe for everybody. That means we have to look at the research on the ingredients. Of all the ingredients in Plexus Slim it’s alpha lipoic acid and maybe garcinia cambogia that have most of the weight loss proof. I think they are the active ingredients in Plexus Slim. That doesn’t mean Plexus Slim works because the product may not have the same amounts of these ingredients as researchers used.
