2008-04-10 13:51:25heres what i found:
"The Pink Patch???s approach is to pick and choose bits of information about various ingredients and slap them together to entice young girls into trying their product. 5-HTP for example, has been studied clinically and does have some evidence it can help with mood elevation. But studies showing a link to weight loss are mixed. And The Pink Patch conveniently fails to mention side effects, like nausea. But perhaps most importantly, all the studies cited in the literature were based on relatively high dosages (100 to 300 mg per day). The Pink Patch gives no information on the dosage of their ingredients so it???s impossible to tell if they are using very low and ineffective levels, or very high and potentially dangerous levels. For more information read this review of 5-HTP from Vanderbilt University.
Similarly, The Pink Patch exaggerates claims related to Fucus Vesiculosus and weight loss. To claim that the use of their patch containing this sea weed derivative can have the same effect as a long term diet rich in this material without the research to back it up, is unfounded and misleading. But don???t take our word for it, the US Federal Trade commission filed suit against similar weight loss patches that make claims based on sea kelp. I urge you to read the FTC report on weight loss patches."

As usual, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Without specific, long term clinical studies showing that this patch is effective, I have absolutely no faith in any of the claims made by this product and would strongly urge anyone to reject it. Please pass the word to anyone considering using this product.
and some reviews:
"Perhaps the nausea is part of how this patch controls your appetite. I mean, if you feel sick, you don???t want to eat, right?"
"cant believe how stupid you women are, its just an appetite suppressor which means if you havent got the will power to stop eating rubbish food in the first place then the patch will have no effect. If you???ve got the willpower to stop eating rubbish food then you dont need the patch in the first place. if you want to lose weight, its simple???eat less+exercise more. if you cant be bothered???then no patch in the world is going to help you???then you can say hello to fat cellulite butt and hips and an early grave."
"NOPE!!!! I used the trial and it???s more like I gain weight!!! Seriously, it doesn???t work, at least for me. It didn???t stop my craving, I think I ate more. My stomach fat has gotten bigger than before."
