2. Well, good!
Not only are you not nearly overweight enough for Leptoprin, you can't afford it either!

I'm sure Cortislim is the answer.

8. But doesn't Dr. Greg See-na-moan say that Corti-Slim is a lifestyle?
I can't commit to a whole *lifestyle*. I just want that powerful little pill, dammit! :grr:

5. Thank the Lord
There are people on TV telling me these things. I might have eaten a handful of Leptoprin and then where would I be. They really have my best interests at heart. God, I love corporations.:loveya:

6. Excuse me, but what *IS* Leptoprin?
And more importantly, does it have any abuse potential!

Ingredients per 2 capsule serving:
Calcium (amino acid chelate) 264mg (67% RDA)
Vitamin B6 25mg (1250% RDA)
Acetylsalicylic acid 324mg
Caffeine 200mg
Green Tea Extract (no amount listed)
L-Tyrosine (no amount listed)
Kelp 100mg
Ephedrine 20mg
Cayenne (no amount listed)
Contains a rice flour base

Notes:

Caffeine is a stimulant. Coffee contains between 60 and 120 mg of caffeine per 6 ounce serving. The recommended dosage of Leptoprin contains 600mg, or the equivalent of 6 to 10 cups of coffee.

Ephedrine: According to Intelihealth, "The results of research on ephedrine alone without caffeine are clear. There are variable amounts of ephedrine in commercially available products, and more than 1,500 adverse reactions have been reported to the FDA with ephedrine use, including heart attack, stroke, seizure, serious psychiatric symptoms, and death. The FDA has issued a policy that ephedrine products must be labeled with possible adverse effects, contain no more than 8 milligrams of ephedrine per serving, and be used for no longer than seven days. Because of the significant dangers associated with ephedra or ephedrine use, you should speak with a qualified health care provider before starting therapy. Leptoprin contains 20 milligrams of ephedrine per serving and they do not recommend stopping after 7 days, but offer the product in 30 day supply units."

And, just for fun, it's tremendously over-priced, over-hyped, and the ads contain deceptive claims! How can you go wrong?

10. Well, abuse of commerce wasn't exactly what I had in mind . . .
But you've proved the potential is there.

11. Kelp is a thyroid stimulant and
sometimes recommended by natural health specialists for underactive thyroid. I've also read of it being overused, resulting in a backlash effect by the body - due to too much iodine. Here's an article on weight loss from the iHerb site Health Encyclopedia with more info...

12. I lost 145 pounds on Leptoprin.
And I never got my money back, either!
