Warning: Super Slim Yani Product Contains Phenolphthalein



Written by Rupert Kircz | Friday, 12 June 2009 | There are 22 comments

has actually been banned from use because it has a carcinogenic effect

The latest warning from the Ukmedix Newsroom involves the a weight loss product called Super Slim or Yani which is being sold in China, especially in Hong Kong and also on the internet. When the Hong Kong health authorities tested the product they found it to contain a drug called phenolphthalein as well as a doctored version of the sibutramine drug.

Warning: Super Slim Yani Product Contains Phenolphthalein

The testing was done after a sixteen year old female arrived at hospital suffering from serious psychiatric problems and it was noted that she had been taking the product for about a month. She was described as suffering from hallucination, mental confusion, emotional instability and was talking incomprehensibly to herself.

One of the drugs found in the product namely Phenolphthalein which was once used for its laxative properties has actually been banned from use because it has a carcinogenic effect, and the other product sibutramine is the active ingredient of the licenced weight loss drug Reductil which is forbidden from use with any other product.

The Department of Health said that anybody who was using this product should stop using it immediately and get medical advice and that the product should be destroyed. They also underlined the importance of always getting a prescription for weight loss products and speaking to medical professionals about their use.

Hong Kong is overrun with counterfeit versions of medications which are made in factories in mainland China. There has been alot of criticism of the Chinese government for not enforcing medical regulations effectively and it's estimated that thousands of people have died because of using counterfeit medication in China.

It is possible that this product Super Slim is being sold in the United Kingdom in health shops which sell traditional Chinese medication and that the owners of the shops are unaware of the dangerous chemicals that it contains. If you see this weight loss product for sale in the United Kingdom you should report it straight away.

i have been taking SS for three weeks the result is very promising but the side effects are severe and intolerable so I started to feel suspicious , I decided to do some internet searching and I discovered that the secret of weight loss lies in a component called Koncing nut which no body have ever heard about it , I did extended search and I found people saying that this vague component is most probably ephedra which is banned, I think this is true because ephedra is basically a Chinese herb it is stimulant and thermogenic moreover, its side effect are typical to super slim, I also searched for any concerned drug or food supplement organizations stamp or approval but I found non so I decided to send an email to super slim published website and the feedback I received made me say to everybody You Should Stop talking this anonymous product . Find hereunder the e-mail I sent and the answer I received :

Hi

Im sorry you are having issues with the product. Your concerns about the ingredients listed are understood. We are not the manufacturer of this product and have no relation to the manufactrer. We are simply a Affiliated seller of the products on our web page. So while all the information provided has been done so in good faith, we cant confirm its reliability or truth. In regards to the vaugeness of the ingredients list, we are only offering the information that we could attain, wich is prob no more than you yourself could attain.

In regards to your side effects, I would suggest stopping product use but once again i am not a profesional. Your dietition should be able to offer you more information but i would call into question her/his credibility as it is unusual that a dietition would suggest a product such as super slim pomegranate wich is not even an american product.

Feel free to contact us

we would as suggest you take a look at our disclaimer in order to understand our relationship

MySuperSlim.com

Hi,

i am a female 31 years old 77 kg 164 cm ,i have been using super slim for three weeks and i am on diet as well ...i lost weight, i do not know whether this is the result of the pills or the diet but what i am sure of this product has truly suppressed my apatite and it is amazing.....but unfortunately the side effects are terrible i feel tired and sick all the time during all day long having headache sometimes breathing problems though i do not suffer to me any heart or lung problems and the very serious side effect is having blurred vision and this is disastrous because i drive by car for long hours. these severe side effects together with the fact that the product instructions are not in English i tried to search the box and your website for approvals of drug organizations but found non at the same time the way you state the components of the product made me feel suspicious due to words like Component similar to pomegranate so what is the name of this component and what is Koncing nut.

I think you must work on these drew backs if the product is really safe .

people can tolerate the side effects if they are clearly and honestly stated.

please give me your feedback because based on it i will decide whether to continue on this product or not ..by the way my dietion is the one who recommended this product but after the side effects that are continued even after i stopped taking the pills for two day now, i am starting to be suspicious about her credibility and efficiency.

thanks

Susan,

If you have used the product go and get a check up from your doctor. As for getting a refund either go to the shop where you bought them or try writing to the website that you bought them from.

Never buy weight loss meds unless a doctor prescribes them!!

Is it specifically "super" slim pomegranate from China that contains harmful substances, or any slim pomegranate capsules, say from Japan or America

is there a law to protect internet shoppers buying medicine? If I go to a shop and buy any medicine, it comes with instructions and ingredients and it has been checked by the law. It should be the same. I need to lose weight Uk medix can you help?

seriously Marissa, 3 days of taking super slim probably has nothing to do with your eyesight. I think you will find that it is unrelated. Also your mother being diabetic should have consulted her GP at the very least before buying weight loss medication off the internet. You can't really blame anyone but yourself if you don't research these kinds of products and seek medical advice. there is a reason you can only order them off the internet.

Also, I'm not going to put much stock into someone's opinion that can barely spell a word. That's what spell check is for honey.

I took these pills for 20 days and I went from 143lbs when I started to 136lbs when I stopped the pills. I had been feeling sick for about the last week before I went to my doctor. The doctor found that I had low blood pressure when standing and mty heart rate would jump to 107 standing with blood pressure drop to 90/60. laying and sitting my heat rate would be 78 and blood pressure of 108/68. I would feel the best laying down. However I felt best in the morning with a occasional head ache and nausea. I never seemed to miss work. My mood would change off and on daily when the sickness would hit me, I would be really short and just snap until I could lay down. The I would be better. I had blood tests done TSH,CMP,CBC results came back all in range NORMAL!!!!!!!!! I have stopped taking pill for almost two weeks now and still had same symptoms. As of last night Im all of a sudden better. I wanted to start pill again tomorrow? I dont know what to do? My mom and friends are also on this weight loss pill and they are all fine :( Im not even sure if this was from the pill or a virus I got. Can anyone help me..... Anyone else have this????????? I lost two inches in my chest and my butt and thighs are alot smaller (thank god) Im still smaller now 138lbs I want to get to 128 or 130 lbs so I dont have far to go but I dont wanna kill myself eaither.

I have taken a very similar product called Fruta Planta and I believe it has the same ingredients used in Super Slim. Anyway I had a very bad experience with it. I purchased the Fruta Planta online in March I am not overweight by any stretch of the imagination just was in the early stages of recovering from an eating disorder and I slipped up I believe it was out of self destructive tendencies that I ordered the pills. I also have a history of substance abuse and mental illness. So for people like me these pills are a big NO. Firstly I am not overweight I am on the cusp of underweight and healthy weight so any weight I think I need to lose is psychological and a product of my delusional mind set which comes and goes but mostly is at bay. Secondly I have suffered from psychosis and mania in the past (high functioning type with psychotic features) and when I took just 1 pill I almost had to go to hospital my heart was racing so fast. It was a nightmare. I did it again on the 2nd day and I felt like I was going crazy and the voices were coming back with flu like symptoms which became bronchitis. So ESPECIALLY people like me I would strongly warn against taking these diet pills. For anyone really because they mess with your brain. Natural does not always mean good. Marijuana is natural and it has landed alot of people in mental institutions. I think society in general has warped ideas about weight and health often weight loss and health are too intertwined- too much focus on appearance and less focus on improving ourselves on the insides. Often when you do the work on your psychological state the rest will follow and taking care of yourself (healthy eating and exercise) becomes something that happens on autopilot. Has worked for me.

My wife and I both took Super Slim a couple years ago. We both lost a lot of weight but both had horrible side effects. The physical effects were bad enough but then the mental stuff started. I started getting touchy, angry and irritable. My wife became very suspicious and paranoid. Finally it got to the point where I couldn't think straight and would catch myself staring into space for long periods of time. We had no idea it was the pills but one day it hit me that it may be them. I researched them and found many others were having similar experiences. We stopped them immediately. It took a couple weeks for us to get back to normal. Now for the really scary part. During that time I lost weight, lots. I was so happy that I was telling everyone about this miracle pill. I told my adult daughter who struggles with her weight. I even gave her a sample. I forgot completely. Well, as I said that was a couple years ago. I forgot all about it. She never heard about the side effects and what we went through. About a month ago I guess she got online, purchased a bunch of this poison and started taking it regularly. We didn't know anything about it. Two days ago my wife spoke to her over the phone and afterward she told me that there was something wrong with our daughter. She said that she wasn't making a lot of sense, seemed anxious, depressed and paranoid. That's not like her at all. The next day they talked again. I was in the room and watched my wife get more and more upset and scared. At that point I got on the phone with my daughter. After a few minutes I covered the receiver and told my wife to call paramedics and have them go to her house. She had completely lost her grip on reality. She was incoherent and the few things I could understand scared the heck out of me. She didn't know how old she was (21), didn't know what the date was, she didn't know if I was with her in person or on the phone (she lives 3000 miles away). We both tried over and over to get her to give the phone to her husband but she wouldn't do it. She wasn't listening to us. She started speaking to me like she was 5 or 6 years old. "Daddy, am I pregnant?", "Daddy, why do I hurt myself" all in a little girl sing-song voice. I kept her on the phone until the paramedics arrived. They took her to the hospital, did full blood tests, an EKG and a CT scan. All normal. She wasn't making any sense to them either and without talking to our son-in-law the doctors had her committed to the psychiatric ward at the department of public health. She was taken away in handcuffs in the back of a police car. She is still there today and they are treating her as a danger to herself and a possible paranoid schizophrenic. They are saying she may need to be there for 6 months. By now we have been told by her husband that she was taking Super Slim for the month leading up to this. Also, she had plateaued in her weight loss and may have recently increased the dose. I am convinced it's the pills. I hope we can convince the professionals to at least look at the possibility. I am so scared for her. ---DON'T TAKE THIS PRODUCT, IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!--- -stupid-dad
