DETOX 'n SLIM

Hi Brett! I love your Detox n' Slim sachets, I especially love that they contain vegetable protein, but still taste fantastic : ) And that they also contain so many good fruits and herbs. I've been enjoying my free samples, and would like to buy some. Coincidentally, I saw a short section of a show on TV where they said that Bitter Orange was dangerous and could cause heart attacks. Should I be concerned about how much bitter orange I consume, or is this scare mongering? I looked up the info here: http://nccam.nih.gov/health/bitterorange I don't have any issues with my heart to worry about, but I wanted to check how high a dose of bitter orange was in each sachet? I look forward to hearing back : )

Brett's Answer:

Each Sachet has 100mg of Bitter Orange extract which provides 6mg of synephrine (the active principle). Yes there is a lot of misinformation and scare-mongering on the internet, especially by those supporting pharmaceuticals. You can download a good clinical document about Bitter Orange here http://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=bitter%20orange%206gm%20synephr...
