You are entitled to voice your opinions on the matter but most people who have any sort of health problem already would quite possibly consult a physician before trying anything new. With that being said LIVE STRONG did an article breaking it down into each ingredient and adverse side affects. http://www.livestrong.com/article/483267-saba-health-supplement-side-effects/ As far as it being a "magic pill" I never said that. All I want to do is share with you guys the results that I've seen and experienced in person from loved ones who take ACE. I personally, having hypothyroidism, find it EXTREMELY difficult to lose weight for obvious reasons. This is the first thing i have found to help me break that wall of shedding the unwanted pounds in 5 years, and i have tied a lot of shit. I have ALWAYS been the skeptical person when it comes to diets and pills, but this is a natural supplement and it does what it says it is supposed to. The only thing i changed in my life was my water consumption. I drink a hell of a lot more water now.
