Xenadrine weight loss claims false
From The Washington Times:
The Federal Trade Commission has accused RTC Research & Development LLC of making false weight loss claims for its dietary supplement Xenadrine EFX.
The FTC said advertisements for the Xenadrine EFX falsely claimed it produced rapid and substantial weight and fat loss without the need for either diet or exercise. The ads appeared in numerous magazines and on television.
A study was done by the FTC to examine the effects (if any?) Xenadrine has. One control group took a placebo pill, and over 10 weeks lost an average of 2.5 pounds. On the other hand, subjects taking Xenadrine only lost an average of 1.5 pounds over the 10 week study!
The incredible thing is that sales of Xenadrine EFX have topped $160 million! When will people learn that these fad supplements are a waste of money?
