Plexus Slim - Is It Really Good for You?
Expert rating:
4.5/10
Customer rating:
93 voted
Plexus Slim is currently an incredibly popular weight loss aid. It is produced by Plexus Worldwide, Inc, an Arizona based company.
The company is a network marketing company and in spite of our dislike of multi-level marketing schemes, we reviewed this product anyway, with compelling results.
Is it a safe and effective weight loss product? Here's what we found.
Shake Market Review
**Results are individual and may vary. We cannot guarantee the same experience for every consumer.
Description:
The first thing we did was examine the label. Plexus Slim contains the following active compounds:
- Chlorogenic Acid (from Green Coffee beans)
- Garcinia Cambogia extract
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Polydextrose
- Citric Acid
- Beet Extract
- Stevia Extract
- Chromium
Plexus Slim is advertised as an all-natural weight loss product, but Polydextrose is anything but natural, and seems questionable. Polydextrose is a indigestible synthetic food additive. It is used in place of sugar, fat and starch in foods labeled sugar free and low carb. Polydextrose can cause side effects that include cramping, gas and bloating and even diarrhea in people who aren't used to it. As always, recommend sticking to products with all-natural ingredients.
Top Benefits:
Contains Garcinia Cambogia which research shows is safe and effective for weight loss, free trial offer available, low calories
Negative:
Expensive price, contains Polydextrose a synthetic additive, may cause possible side effects.
It does contain Garcinia Cambogia, which has been proven to aid weight loss, and Chromium, which may help manage blood sugar.
Effectiveness:
Garcinia Cambogia is the only ingredient in this product that has research supporting its claims to help users lose weight. The research does not support claims of any weight loss benefits of other ingredients. Many users report noticeable weight loss using Plexus Slim, but artificial ingredients like Polydextrose can cause unwanted side effects.
WLT Conclusion:
Plexus Slim has some natural ingredients that are beneficial to your health.
Unfortunately, it also has an artificial additive called Polydextrose that can cause unwanted side effects, and only one ingredient that is actually proven to promote weight loss. We recommend supplements with all-natural ingredients. Because of the addition of the synthetic additive Polydextrose, we cannot recommend this product as #1.

This product worked well for me, but was way overpriced. I would gladly buy it again if I could find it at a lower price. There are similar products on the market that are just as good and significantly lower prices.

Plexus Slim tastes great, but hasn't worked for me :( I'm trying a second round and hoping I'll get some results this time.

I'm a bit leary of synthetic ingredients in a weight loss product and prefer to keep it all-natural.

I tried Plexus Slim and found it to be a waste. I drank it as recommended and continued my usual fitness routine. I also cut calories, but saw no results. In fact, I think I was more hungry after drinking it. Definitely not worth the investment.

The first time I took it was a half hour before eating. By the time I sat down to eat, I wasn't hungry and ate very little. The next time I tried it, I got severe stomach cramps and nausea, felt awful. I could eat very little and felt full fast. I checked the side effects of the product and this is normal.

I decided to try it on the recommendation of my daughter, who said her friend's mother uses it. After a week and a half, I haven't lost an ounce and I don't feel any different. I should listen to my doctor when she told me the safest and most effective way to lose weight is with diet and exercise. Maybe I'll try something herbal and natural next time.

After trying Plexus Slim for two weeks, I noticed I felt worse than before. I felt apathetic, tired, and lethargic. It might be a good product but it hasn't helped me at all!
