I love this stuff. The powdered drink, that is. I'm not usually one to try diet pills or any of that nonsense; I prefer more natural approaches. However, this stuff seems to rely mostly on vitamins and lots of water. Not to mention it tastes snappin' amazing! It's like a berry juice. It's almost addictive!

But maybe.. maybe it really is addictive?

I did some research on Slimquick, and among the many vitamins and minerals it contains, there are two ingredients that cause some concern for me: caffeine and chase tree berry. Now, while I know that the church hasn't exactly outlawed caffeine specifically, we are supposed to avoid habit-forming substances, and I'm sort of wondering if the caffeine may be the reason why I love this stuff so much.

WARNING: Very mild time-of-the-month details ahead, if you're grossed out by that, you may want to skip it over. XD

The chase tree berry is natural, but it's hormone-affecting. It 'enhances female hormones'. I will say that it has had positive affects on me. My mood swings during PMS have really evened out, my periods have become more regular and comfortable (less water retention, less cramping, very normal flow days, etc.) So far it's wonderful. But I'm hesitant to be using something so new that affects hormones. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's a safe dosage.

Thoughts? Experiences? Opinions?
