I started out by taking only 2 capsules 2 x day this weekend to see how it would affect me. The first dose I experienced a headache and took 2 iboprophen, the second dose I was fine. I just turned 50 and had a heck of a time with the weight ...... Hey yall, well I just received my bottle today and am excited to lose wait... I know I will cuz I lost almost 15 pounds on one bottle months ago .. So I'm hopefull all I need to lose is 30 pounds to be 120 for one in my life. ...
