It looks like it is new and a little digging around indicates it won't be around long as many countries are already banning its primary ingredient.

The primary ingredient appears to contain sibutramine which is a by prescription only drug in most countries due to its dangers. It is the same as Meridia. This is a drug that absolutely should only be taken under a doctors care. There are many risks with it including heart attack/stroke. Increased blood pressure being a major indicator.

You should google 'meridia'. The side effects of it are sudden, you won't gradually have a heart attack/stroke. If you aren't under doctors supervision, then you won't know the warning signs to look for either.

Ok. I bought Slimbionic so that I could try it for myself. I will post back with the results and let you all know how it works for me.

Please be careful and if you are taking ANY other medications, please see your doctor. I'd say see your doctor in any case though with it.

I think it was a similar product that contained the meridia, wasn't it? They then reformulated it without the ingredient. Maybe this has happened more than once. Scary thought! Especially since supplements are not regulated and can contain any amount (or none at all) of an ingredient on a label, and usually do vary. Many supplements can contain dangerous amounts of something and cause serious health problems. A little too much of something like meridia can be fatal.

You might feel the effects of the stimulants in Slimbionic, and drop some water weight, but this product does not cause fat loss.

Oh, when I went to look up slimbionic, it had an ingredient which I went to look up and that ingredient contained meridia. Maybe its been reformulated?

It might have! It wouldn't surprise me. I believe it would have been pulled very quickly once discovered by the feds. Nothing really surprises me anymore about the weight loss supplement industry. It's shady and deceptive.

In general, if you are concern with any contradictions with prescription medication, you should take the ingredients to your doctor and ask.

In this case, it appears that the FDA issues a warning about Slimbionic and I'd avoid it:
