I was worried after reading these posts because I bought fucothin on Saturday. I started taking it right away and i have to say it is working for me. I am extreme exerciser, but was not able to find a diet plan that would work for me. All my past solutions were failing and the weight would not budge. I weighed 143 on Saturday and with the combination of running, swimming, light weight training, and cutting back on servings, I have lost 7 pounds. It’s only Wednesday. Ater several months of failing, I have my motivation back.

I had a not so good experience with it, and stopped taking it last week. I started taking fucothin at the beginning of the summer since workouts alone didn’t seem to be getting me very far. It seemed to help – I lost 5 pounds, but then that was it – would really like to lose another 10. Then just a few weeks ago, I started having some issues – I started experiencing really bad muscle fatigue, and slow recovery after working out, and I wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. Then I started having all kinds of joint pain, and last week when I had heart palpitations, followed by an immediate headache, at the begining of a workout, I decided I should see my Dr. I didn’t think it had anything to do with the fucothin – I really thought that there was something wrong with me (I am only 42 but all of a sudden felt much older), but I stopped taking it anyway, just in case. When I saw my doctor, she said that the fucothin was what was causing my issues, and that it effects the mitochondria in your cells, causing them to not work properly – I’m sure I’m not explaining it like she would. Also I was asked if I was experiencing hot flashes – which I haven’t been, but have read of others who did complain of that. Fortunately she said the effects were reversible, but she didn’t know how long it would take. She suggested I take CoQ 10 for about a month and also recommended something called mitochondrial resuscitate. Anyone having any strange or new issues, should really see a doctor, or just stop taking it. I thought that the worst that could happen when I started taking these pills, is that I would have wasted my money and see no weight loss. I am so relieved I didn’t do any serious damage to myself, and that this is reversible – I am feeling more like myself every day, and feel like I should have known better than to take something I know nothing about. I would never use this product again, and I really just wanted to warn anyone who is taking it to watch for strange symptoms. My sister was taking it too, but stopped when she thought it was affecting her sleep.

Ive been using the product for a few months, and have lost a few inches. I am happy with the product. I order mine thru vitacost. It’s way less expensive than any vitamin store. I also have cut down in my food intake. You just cant expect the pill to do all the work for you. It takes a few months to see results. Thank you,

I have been using this product for 3 months. I have never used anything for weight loss before and started this because the salesman at the vitamin store recommended it, saying it was benign and that he had good results “over time.” I think those two points are true. I have noticed a bit of an improvement in weight loss–a couple of pounds–ant it has taken a while to accomplish it. What can I say? There are no easy answers, especially for women after menopause.

i have been using fucothin since July and have had incredible success. The first five months or so I was taking three pills three times daily and was sweating or feeling hot…maybe that is why i lost weight .
Now i take six a day , don’t sweat and still mainatin or lose. I started at 140 5’7″ and am down to 127. inches just flew off !
i always buy with the $5.00 coupon and do agree that it is expensive…however all vitamins and supplements are priced to high…I just started my kids on Juice Plus and those prices are outrageous

I’ve used Fucothin on and off since it came out. It has come down somewhat in price. I do notice the weight comes off slightly faster when I use it but not enough to validate the price I have to pay. Dr. Rubin, I’m disappointed in you. I expected better for what you charge for this product. It makes me wonder if your other products are overpriced for what they claim to deliver.

I heard from a homeopathic drugstore that in order for fucothin to work well you need to have a blood type of O positive for the best weight loss. Something about the seaweed works well with the O type blood. Other blood types may not find the same results and if you exercise with it, your results should be better.

I’ve tried it for two months, no luck with it. Sorry to say I was very dissapointed. Since menopause, I have put on 25 pounds and even though I exercise it will not come off. I had high hopes for this product.

I have had hot flashes ever since I started using Fucothin. I thought when I stopped using it (it’s been 4 wks now), they would stop, but it hasn’t. I think it has catterpult me right into menopause, if that’s possible.
