Dear Pharmacist,
I have been taking a dietary supplement to lose weight and it works great. I’ve lost 34 pounds and feel great! I heard on The Today Show that one of the ingredients in my formula (bitter orange) was harmful. Should I stop taking my supplement?

Answer: People who use bitter orange-containing supplements often notice reduced hunger, faster weight loss and more energy. Bitter orange (citrus aurantium) is commonly used in American dietary supplements as a fat-burner, especially those that are labelled “ephedra-free.” Since you feel great, I’d continue taking your supplement while exercising and eating healthy meals.
Gold Star Nutritionals Announces Ephedra-Free Weight Loss Supplement, PowerThin Phase II
All-Natural Diet Pill Reduces Water Retention, Curbs Appetite, Increases Metabolism and Energy
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- According to the CDC, two out of three Americans are still overweight – a trend that’s prompted approximately $50 billion in spending on weight-loss programs and ineffective diet pills each year.
Gold Star Nutritionals announces a new diet pill that just may be the answer to slimmer waistlines and improved weight loss benefits.
PowerThin Phase II, an all-natural diet supplement, helps reduce water retention, curb appetite, increase metabolism and energy.
“The key to its success is Advantra Z which helps people who are dieting take control of their appetite – most notably, people who crave sugar and junk food,” said John Cantu, president, Gold Star Nutritionals.
Through a process known as thermogenesis, Advantra Z, which is derived from bitter orange, generates heat in the body by increasing the metabolic rate to help burn calories and fat. It is the only thermogenic ingredient that has been patented in the U.S. and Canada.
Many diet pills on the market contain fillers and ineffective ingredients. PowerThin Phase II is comprised of natural ingredients such as: Green Leaf Extract, Yerba Mate Leaf, Vinpocetine, Yohimbe, Guggulipid, L-Tyrosine and White Willow Bark. When these ingredients are combined with Advantra Z, the body’s metabolism kicks into high gear and naturally reduces cravings.
Dieters who take PowerThin Phase II also enjoy increased calorie burning and body fat mobilization, which makes losing weight faster and easier. It’s important to note that people taking this effective diet supplement should also exercise and eat sensibly. Eating a diet that is low in fat and sugar and high in lean meats and proteins, vegetables, grains and water, will also speed the weight loss process.
Gold Star Nutritionals enlisted the expertise of a master nutritional biochemist and registered dietitian to design and develop the PowerThin ground-breaking formula. Since 1995, Gold Star Nutritionals has successfully been aiding people with healthy and successful weight loss.
