Live Strong.com confirms this by saying:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cRegularly taking laxatives in an attempt to lose weight can have potentially fatal consequences\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also not a long-term solution to weight loss.

Routine use of it is linked to a lack of benefits as Examine.com reports:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cto the point where the only benefit a user experiences is caffeine\u2019s anti-sleep effect.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Other ingredients in this formula are for reducing the amount of water the body stores, as well as laxatives for increasing bowel movements. This combination isn\u2019t a long-term solution for weight loss. It\u2019s also not a fat loss solution; it\u2019s only meant to get rid of fluids.<\/p>\n<p>Real fat loss isn\u2019t seen through heavy laxatives and diuretics.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also not a long term or cheap approach to weight loss. Much more cost affordable options exist for weight loss.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Business of Teami<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Teami Blends owns this company, and they can be reached via:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone Number: <\/strong>(888) 803-0169<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Email: <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:service@teamiblends.com\">service@teamiblends.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They operate out of Miami, Florida, but they don\u2019t add an address.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a few negative reviews listed on the companies Better Business Bureau page:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cNever received product but was charged\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cnever received the product I ordered, even after contacting the company\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cthey provide no info on returns\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many were disgruntled to see that they couldn\u2019t make a return.
