Product Review: FAKE ALLI sold via Amazon - Beware!
Summary: 1 Stars

The alli I purchased from Amazon (via StoreShark and ByrdLabs) is FAKE. The logo's colors are different, there is a different font in the warning and also typos in the warning text! The bottle is different. The legitimate one has a recycling stamp on the bottom and two indents; the fake one does not.

Worse yet, the fake pill is larger and has a wider blue band around the center. The contents of the pill is also different. The legitimate Alli is granular, the fake is powder. It appears to be talc or cornstarch. I can only hope that is something benign as I've been taking these pills several times a day for MONTHS.

I have filed a complaint with Amazon, the FDA, and notified Glaxo. I've asked Amazon to suspend the e-tailer and lab. I've also contacted ByrdLabs - I'm stunned that Amazon would sell anything from these guys - they don't have an address, phone number, and no location in the US.

Product Review: Good Price

Alli- Orlistat Weightloss Aid Formula, 240ct Refill Pack
Good Product at great price. This is not to be used by someone in the initial stages or as your first try. Does not include the support material to get started which is VERY IMPORTANT. The only thing that would make it better is if the company would offer free shipping. Ships quickly.

Product Review: Good depending on what you're looking for.
Summary: 3 Stars

Let me preface this by saying that I am not overweight in the least, but I work with people who are. I used to weigh 245lbs, but am now down into the 160s and have become a personal trainer. I know of just about every weightloss product on the market and could tell you whether or not it will work. I lost all of my weight with solely diet and exercise, but I can understand those who need a bit of help. One of my clients recently asked me if it would be a good idea for her to take this Alli supplement to help her lose weight. I asked her what was in it, and she said she didn't know, so I looked it up. It sounded legitimate enough, except for the "treatment effects". Essentially, Alli contains a compound called orlistat which binds to fats in your digestive tract, and carries them out of the body instead of allowing them to be absorbed.

So, I decided to purchase a 120 pack to test it for myself before I let someone else go at it without me knowing about it. I should also say that I eat extremely healthy, and while I may eat a good amount of fat, it is all good fat (I only cook with olive, or canola oil, eat lean chicken or fish regularly with red meats about once a week, 50% of a meal is always vegetables and fruits, take 3g fish and 3g flax oil supplements everyday, and eat a few ounces of almonds throughout the day. Daily intake is around 1800-2000cal depending on the day).

So, the first day I took one with each meal and didn't notice anything. I was ready to write this pill off as hype, until the second day (today). I woke up, went to class and felt like passing gas. Thank god against my good judgement I didn't, because I let it out in the car and immediately felt my underwear become wet. I couldn't believe it when I went home and had a bowel movement that the toilet was covered in orange oil which was the fat the pill removed. It smells horrid and is hard to remove.

Therefore, I give this product a 3 star rating because it does exactly what it advertises. It removes excess fat from your body by passing it through your digestive system. However, if you aren't prepared, you can easily embarrass yourself with the product's treatment effects. Also, the product makes it harder for the body to take up fat soluble vitamins, so a multivitamin is a must. So, if you eat a lot of fat, this product won't really change anything for you like a thermogenic will, but it will show you and force you to eat less fat. Hope that helps.
