Found it to be helpful.

By Chris Conrad, Canal Winchester, Ohio, Verified Reviewer

I started taking ProbioSlim the middle of May with the trial. In those 14 days I lost 11 pounds. I had no side effects. The product let me eat anything I wanted but I reached a point that I did not want anymore to eat. It really curbed my appetite. I have lost 45 pounds. I know that seems slow but that is how weight loss should be. I have also dropped 4 sizes in my clothes. Every so often I do get some nausea with vomiting about 3 hours after taking my medications (about every 3 to 4 weeks). People have noticed the loss. I have about 100 pounds more to loose. I love this product and its results. I was considering surgery but not anymore. There were about 3 weeks where I did not loose any weight but I put on a pair of jeans I had not been able to get over my hips. I slid into them easily. I am a semi-retired RN aged 67 with fibromyalgia, so exercising is very difficult for me.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Product is ok

By Ashley, Dallas, TX, Verified Reviewer

I have taken the product for about 6 weeks at this point. I haven't lost any weight (I even started exercising more during this period) and I can't even say I've noticed any difference with my digestion/daily energy levels. I'm not certain why it works for some and not others, but it just isn't a hit for me.

That being said, I would like to review this company. I signed up for their *free (pay shipping) 14-day trial. I was extremely annoyed by this because the company said that I had 18 days to cancel when they had already charged my card and set up the packing for shipment on day 17. Because of that, they could not cancel that month's shipment or the payment from my account. I got the 30-day supply for a whopping $74 when I had called to cancel within my 18-day window. I still canceled all future shipments with the intention of just returning the 30-day supply upon receiving it.

After I got the package, I called the company up and asked about how to refund the package and they informed me that they've set me up on the program to continue trying the product (the 30-day supply) and if I'm still not satisfied, I can return the empty bottle at the end of the month for a refund, minus shipping charges.

I used the product and had to call, yet again, to get the refund directions for the empty bottle. The process was relatively simple, just annoying to have to call and deal with the whole process again. I shipped it back, I did have to pay the $2.50 shipping charges to get it back to them. They issued my refund within 48 hours of sending the email that they had received it (it was about a week after I shipped it).

I have read numerous reviews that the company is terrible about the trial period thing and to avoid the company at all costs. I've seen that the company won't issue refunds, etc. I just want to say that, while I agree that their company doesn't really honor their 18-days to cancel, it isn't horrible to deal with to get the refund. I didn't have any issues getting my refund.

If you do try the product and like it, I will say that there are many cheaper options than the monthly subscription directly from ProbioSlim. They might be able to discount it well enough (call to cancel to get the offer) but I would probably still look elsewhere. Amazon has it for half the price, it is sold in CVS and possibly other places for cheaper, even. I would just recommend doing some price checking if you want to continue using it.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It doesn't work

I got a sample of this, been taking it twice a day. It doesn't do what it says, plus they took 79 dollars off my debit card without my authorization

Disappointed

By Olivia P, Houston, TX, Verified Reviewer

ProbioSlim is a ridiculously expensive probiotic that doesn't really have much to do with weight loss. I tried it for a month and didn't see any kind of results. I like the idea of using probiotics to help shed a few pounds, but this one just didn't do the trick. It only has one strain (B. coagulans) that really hasn't been proven to be useful for weight loss.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Expensive & does not work

By Juanita, MO, Verified Reviewer

I paid $75.00 (with tax) for a 30 day supply. At first I lost a whopping 2 lbs. After that, NOTHING. I even starved myself and still NOTHING. I exercised, NOTHING. My advise - don't throw your money away.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Buyer beware

By Nancy, Verified Reviewer

I ordered free sample plus ordered a 30-day bottle at the same time. It gives me such a bad tummy ache that I can't take it. I got the double whammy when they took 74.98 from my checking account. When I called them they say it's supposed to cause me stomach pain? Why would I want to put myself through more pain? Am I glutton for punishment? They did refund me 41.99 but refuse to refund the rest. Now the only pain I have is knowing that I ordered this product in the first place.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Scam (At the Highest level)

By Vishenia Huery, Memphis,TN, Verified Reviewer

Several months ago I ordered what was advertised as a "free" shipment of the Probioslim product.

I called within the specified guideline to cancel all future orders and was advised that no future orders would be issued. Approximately 7-10 days later my credit card was billed and I immediately followed up as well.

I was then advised that there was no record of my call and I had been billed for future shipments and my order was on the way. I further explained that I was no longer interested and was advised to return the shipment at my expense once it was received and my card would be fully credited.

It was clearly evident that this was a fraudulent company that I was involved with so I contacted the bank and was advised to close the account of card in order to hinder any future charges. Once the follow up order arrived, I immediately went the Post Office and had the item shipped back to the warehouse. (This was approximately 06/02/2015).

I was issued a receipt regarding the tracking of the item but within another week or so my account was credited and I have since discarded the receipt. Now (3) three months later the company is attempting to scam me again.

Unfortunately the USPS was unable to provide me with a duplicate copy of the receipt but they did agree to accept a formal complaint from me and file a complaint regarding mail fraud. I was advised that a USPS Inspector would be assigned my complaint and hopefully the company would be issued formal charges.

I am also scheduled to meet with the local (BBB) Better Business Bureau on next week to discuss a formal complaint regarding the company's attempts at distribution in the Memphis venue as well.

I have learned my lesson and employ anyone reading this to never participate in these shipping scams again!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Poor product and sneaky pricing

By Patricia Coburn, Bullhead City AZ, Verified Reviewer

I ordered a sample of this product o line and was billed $4.95. I called their number and told them that I did not want any more.

Twelve days later I was charged $94.96 on my credit card. I tried to call the number on my statement and was put on hold for at least 15 minutes each time. I left a call back number, but never received one.

I finally called again and after 20 minutes got a real (?) person. This man simply kept repeating that the information was on the website that I had 14 days to cancel and they had no record of my cancellation call. Finally he agreed to credit my account for 30% of the charge. I told him that it was no acceptable. He finally said that they would credit my account for 50% of the charge, I did not want to spend any more time, so I accepted this offer.

This is the second time I have had this happen when ordering samples. Be sure to read the entire agreement before giving them your credit card.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
