Has anyone tried using laminaria extract from Nature's way to lose weight?
I read on a diet pill review site, that it was number one in effectiveness and safety by their "test" results and got the most positive feedback from the site's emailers. It ranked over popular pills, like xenadrine....any feedback would be great! thanks

I have been wondering the same thing. I just read about this proudct online and am wanting to order. But I would like to hear from someone who has used it. Does it really work?

All I know from a quick read of your post is that Laminaria is the genus for kelp seaweeds, so I presume any wt. loss effect would come from the iodine content. For somemone who has chronically does not get enough iodine in their diet (and there are probably many), this would probably help normalize an otherwise slow metabolism caused by iodine deficiency. I would be very careful not to get too much iodine. I would use common sense. The PDR I have says doses up to 1000 micrograms of iodine daily are generally well tolerated. Let me know if any ?s. Good luck!

I just saw the website for Natures Way. I too was wondering if anyone has tried it. It sounds too good to be true. You have to wonder if the people that claim it works are not paid for their positive testimonials. It would be great to have a "magic" pill for weight loss, but I am skeptical.

I think the best way to lose weight is the hard way. diet, excercise, willpower and moderation.

You know I did a search engine with Y...O on the word Laminaria. Guess what comes up on #8 Genisis not affiliated with your diet product -just dealing with empirical science and peoples health and safety with several book references- Purpose of Laminaria for inducing abortion, do not take if you are preg or think you may be do not take if have kidney probs do not take potassium if you have heart conditions it blocks protein from being absorbed in your body. Furthermore the site you all cited is a scam knock off of the company in utah naturesway. You cited their site natures-way net its a scam knock off giving this other reputable company a bad name and it is going to make the 90 potential buyers that read your postings potentially really sick and possibly compromise a life that is not known about yet. Please before you post something like this make sure you investigate it before starting the wave so to speak. This is the age of information get with it, ignorance kills.
