I finally purchased a bottle of CB-1 Weight Gainer a week ago. I read the Weight Gain Guidebook that came with the product. It says to take one capsule 30 minutes before eating a meal, which I did for breakfast. Halfway through my breakfast, I started to feel an upset stomach. Thus, I had no desire to finish. About 45 minutes later with full-blown nausea, I ran to the bathroom with severe diarrhea that lasted about 45 minutes. And a repeat performance after trying to eat a light lunch. I was so miserable that I researched the side effects...I read everything that I was experiencing.
This is what they don't disclose: If you have allergies to certain plants, you should not take this product, especially ragweed! I never saw any warnings on their website, and I took that harmful capsule on Sunday and I remained very ill three days later.
My lesson? Don't EVER buy supplements online without checking side effects, completely reading the label, and DEFINITELY speak to your physician before making that online purchase. This was my online purchase from hell.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
